Nu Yorican Soul

It’s interesting to see how fame and success can affect the number of roadies a band has and what they have to do do get set up and then pack up at the end. A band would score points for things like this and we’d get a league

Built To Spill

The synopsis of Fly Away Home is that of a typical Saturday morning Disney-esque adventure film. Amy, a 13 year old living in New Zealand, is involved in a car crash in which her mother is killed. As a result she is forced to live with her estranged father in

Internet Junkie

This week we turn our eye to film resources on the web. First off is the Internet Movie Database at http://uk.imdb.com/ This heaven for online film-buffs was started as a growing archive of reviews of Hollywood films but has grown into something far superior. According to its

Super Furry Animals + Bis + Kenickie + Dweeb

Having heard numerous R & B albums over the past year, which mostly failed to break out from the mould of predictable loops and beats, this debut album from Martine Girault is definitely a breath of fresh air. Entitled ‘Revival’ it is also the name of her first single, which

Sidi Bou Said

I’d always been led to think that Sidi Bou Said were some sort of girl three piece punkette band, destined to gig around London year after year, and yet remain terminally underground in status. So the fact that their third album Obsessive comes with something as gimmicky as a

The Weekly Poem

"We will protect you, help you see." "Protect us from what?", said we. "From a world of sin and degradation, Torture sod humiliation, Diseases, hatred, open sores, Look at chew and see them pour Their badness into humankind. They capture them and make them blind

Grubby Miners on strike as The Slags heap on the humiliation

With the seconds glorious run of two wins stopped dead in its tracks by St Mary’s on Wednesday, the signs looked ominous for our heroes. The opposition were the league leaders, Royal School of Mines, who had won nine out of ten thus far; two of our centre-halves were

Martine Girault

When I picked this up I didn’t know what I would be presented with, but the word soul really intrigued me. What I got was really quite simply brilliant. An album that refuses to be pigeon-holed, I attempted to fit it to some sort of musical category salsa, latin,

The Latest Score

Earlier this week UEFA decided to back Germany as the European bid for the World Cup in 2006. Although it is FIFA that decides it is likely that they will be heavily influenced by the decision. The only other nation even interested is Brazil and the World Cup has been

Trans Am - Surrender To The Night

After a couple of underground albums, this is the big sell out, major label, career make-or-breaker for this group from Idaho. It’s certainly ambitious, stubbornly so. Every song registers at over five minutes, which is no crime in itself of course, but don’t come here expecting short sharp
