There are two defining pieces of history that have helped me understand what Icelanders are indeed capable of. The first was my introduction to Björk roughly a decade ago, introducing me to a different classification of music and one that I still stubbornly associate with the country. The second, which at the time [...]
Bad Brains‘ first studio record in over a decade drops next month with Build a Nation, produced by long time fan and Beastie Boys MC Adam Yauch. The album will come fresh on the heels of the band’s successful recent performance at this year’s Sasquatch Festival. Brooklyn Vegan recently documented a few reactions [...]
Of Montreal’s Bryan Poole and Kevin Barnes stopped by the Spinner offices to record an acoustic session for The Interface. Included in the set is one of my personal favorites, “Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse,” as well as a cover of David Bowie’s “Starman.” The band also takes some time to talk to [...]
Though I suppose I would have preferred a Smashing Pumpkins decked out in sweatshirts and ripped jeans as a fan I’ll take what I can get. This footage comes from the band’s recent Paris show at the Grand Rex on May 25, 2007. Do I still want to see the band play live [...]
2007 has thus far provided no shortage of foot stomping, hand clapping songs akin to that of how you might imagine a tribal gather sounding. The realm of this intense urgency is beautifully captured by Frog Eyes on their recent Tears of the Valedictorian. Similar to form, Brooklyn’s Yeasayer proved an unexpectedly commanding force during [...]
I can’t help but wonder about the different ways people love The New Pornographers. Sure, the band is brilliant and with its forthcoming album Challengers it will probably claim the airwaves (including but not exclusive to all college radio stations across America). But do I love the band for its musical merit alone? [...]
One of the highest profile hip hop releases of the year is Common’s forthcoming Finding Forever which is slated for release in late July. I can’t help but recognize Common’s attempts to market the longevity of his career, but after six solid albums shouldn’t he be allowed to do so? After rapping for [...]
Following an extended stint with the Swedish six piece Edson, Pelle Carlberg continues to branch out with his own lively pop ballads. While much of his upcoming album In A Nutshell focuses on bit of dreary wit, tracks such as “Clever Girls” and “I Love You, You Imbicile” insert a playful theme that gives [...]
Forming in 2004 the trio of Twinkranes (aka T. Krane, The Rooster and Dr. Raymond Crane) spent its first two years together establishing the band’s musical focus and creating a number of visual pieces which would later accompany the group’s live performances in the form of an electronic slide show. After playing a list [...]
There’s a sense of spectacle when you unknowingly stumble into a piece of music that catches you entirely off guard. Even despite its kitschy pop sentimentalism, such is the case with the first single from the Manic Street Preacher’s latest Send Away the Tigers entitled “Your Love is Not Enough.” The Cardigans‘ Nina [...]
Minneapolis’ Brothers Quetico find old soul in quid bro quo, their debut full length that somehow slipped under the radar fall of last year. In true punk tradition, the Brothers cover 9 songs in 25 minutes, traversing a grizzly terrain of grandly intelligible progressions and sentimental vocal harmonies that recalls a similar restless simplicity Radiohead [...]
“Can’t Tell Me Nothing” furthers Kanye West’s ongoing public introspection surrounding integrating his celebrity into his life, all the while attempting to figure out how to live freely in spite of it. How can you follow your religion when it asks for humility, live like you once did with your family and friends and [...]
On this weekend’s upcoming episode of The Henry Rollins Show Billy Bragg performs and Henry Rollins interviews Steve Buscemi. There is some fantastic footage online however that shouldn’t be overlooked including and interview will Bragg and an interwe- exclusive video performance of “Bush War Blues.” Bragg’s introduction to the song is brilliant and [...]
When Echo & The Bunnymen came together last year and performed on a bit of late night television the band honestly played as though it is almost thirty years old and there was little sense of urgency in the motions. The Jesus & Mary Chain have a few years on The Bunnymen, forming in 1984 [...]
In a pre-performance interview Debra Harry was asked “how do you stay relevant?” by host Meredith Vieira. I believe the answer to that question comes in the response of Harry and the band playing the same song they’ve been playing for almost thirty years. Relevant, Meredith, really? Lily Allen came out following [...]
