Madeleine Peyroux And Happy Place 2007-03-15 11:27:00 And on today's show we have...Half The Perfect WorldMadeleine PeyrouxPop-jazz as we know it is highly underestimated in its effect of changing the time of day. Perhaps the moodiest genre of music, it's not as much gripping as it is requesting you to listen and not just hear. And the biggest mistake you could make, is to keep it in the background. Now, it's a task, I know. But if Careless Love didn't convince you enough, Half The Perfect World will.It's always Sunday afternoon when you're listening to Ms Peyroux. Her music is an eternal love affair with old black and white, romantic movies and Ella Fitzgerald. And as if it was 1952 again, she cruises merrily between sorrowful description and languid charm with abandon. The motion is effortless and the execution reflects it perfectly.Once again with producer Larry Klien, she seems to find her feet easily and though at times the footing isn't strong, she saves herself from any indecisiveness with confidence and a flair that one wis Read more:Happy

Idlewild And Well, Mep 2007-03-14 15:32:00 And on today's show we have...Make Another WorldIdlewildSteve Lamacq must be kicking himself. Okay, maybe not. But I would. Every band goes through phases of progression that determines the direction their music will take. For Idlewild, the road most traveled was unfortunately, not the way to go. Especially since they seem to have fallen off a cliff, taking most of their cred with them, and leaving only a smattering of hope for a recovery on a path that few bands have successfully managed to extricate themselves from.Roddy Woomble has clearly run out of ideas. He even sounds 'same'. On the opening track of Make Another World, In Competition For The Worst Time, you could bet it was Paul Banks (Interpol) handling the microphone. On the rest of the album he shifts from Gary Lightbody to Michael Stipe (somebody who has clearly played a major influence in this release) to a male Dolores O'Riordan without much difficulty and charisma.Idlewild have had a history of radio friendly Alt-pop
Third Eye Blind And Everything 2007-03-13 16:12:00 And on today's (delayed) show we have...Third Eye Blind
Third Eye BlindIt was a lazy day in 2001 and all I wanted to do was to get out of my house and play basketball at the YMCA court. There's this theory I have about music and a personal context that explains its relationship with the listener. This was it. Just before we got on court, a friend of mine handed me a tape and told me to listen to the fourth song on it. It was a song called Jumper.I didn't play any basketball that day.If there was ever an album that truly grew on me through my 'formative years' in music, it was 3eb's eponymous debut. I was fat, not obese or horizontally challenged... fat. They say fat guys have all the personality, but I wanted the chicks. Of course, losing weight wasn't an option. Meh! If it was, the whole world would be thin. And where was a middle class, defense kid in Mumbai to go when he didn't have the friends or the money to do anything well, fun?There's an interesting story about 3eb. In Read more:Everything

, StereophonicsThe pilot announces that bad weather and a heavy aircraft are not essentially ideal flying conditions, and it is likely that the ride may be bumpy. Hah! Like it made any difference. The woman sitting to the right is sleeping, her head resting on your shoulder. Or did she pass out? Her breath smelled of one too many martinis and her hair smelled of something musky. It was tempting to stare down the cleavage of her hugging red top, but that would just spoil the moment. Heck. You did it anyway.It's 'smooth'. Like they're not trying too hard. Like a good scotch sitting at the bottom of your glass mixing it with enough cubes of ice to keep you busy for a while. A nice strong bass makes itself found, like the lady in the red dress. It too has had too much to drink.The ride has more Read more:Weekend
Stereophonics And Beer 2007-03-10 08:40:00 And on today's show we have...You Gotta Go There To Come BackStereophonics At the end of Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart looks at a longing Ingrid Bergman and tells her that she'll realise that if she doesn't leave him for the other man, she'll regret it. "Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life." The scene encapsulated the romanticism of real life and cinema in only the most perfect and historic way possible. At the same time, it was possibly the biggest tear-jerker till ET had to, sadly, go away. Popular culture and fleeting emotions in a fast paced world. Stereophonics' fourth album sums it up perfectly.With their first three albums, the Welsh trio established themselves as one of Britain's finest mainstream acts along the likes of Oasis, Radiohead and Blur. Of course, the aftermath of the Britpop era and the rise of acts like Coldplay and Franz Ferdinand saw a new threat emerging to the old guard - Rock obsolescence.So what does Stereophonics g
Calla And New Movies 2007-03-09 14:39:00 And on today's show we have...Strength In NumbersCalla
Aurelio Valle must lead a very, very depressing life. How else can one explain Calla's terrific fixation with everything melancholy? On their latest record, Calla make more of an advertisement for depression induced suicide than any Sean Penn movie could ever.For years now, the New York trio have dished out album after album of melodies that could only be the result of too much television and too less socialising. Humor aside, it's no laughing matter that their relevance and stature as a band has grown faster than the band's natural evolution. Valle and co. have proved that their existence as seminal indie mournful darlings is not merely a function of one word song titles like Sanctify.But on Numbers we find the New York trio tiring. Where Collisions was more atmospheric, Numbers tends heavily towards detail. It's efforted to say the least, and the band has tried hard to build on what they achieved with Collisions. The rhythms
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club And RPM 2007-03-08 11:23:00 And on today's show we have...Take Them On, On Your OwnBlackRebelMotorcycle
ClubBlack Rebel Motorcycle Club is like the Vin Diesel of band names. It's like Motorhead, only better. Of course, having the Marlon Brando connection is always a plus in the cool department. And apart from the machismo oozing nomenclature, they have the "I'm a showgazer who gives a fuck" look to boot. It's perfect, and just needs a little something in the music department to make the image permanent. Take Them On is just that.If any piece of music reflected perfectly what BRMC is and should be, it's the opening riff to the monster, exhaust fume inhaled, Stop. There's always the fear with a band that's 'discovered' a good riff that they'll go on with it for far longer than necessary, but BRMC effectively evades this with the rhythm and drums crashing in at just the right moment.Take The On is, in totality, a guitar heavy, riff laden, grungy-garage junkie of an album. BRMC effectively defined their s
Kelly Jones And Love 2007-03-07 11:19:00 And on today's show we have...Only The Names Have Been ChangedKelly JonesIt's a little known fact that Kelly Jones writes screenplays. Sure, he's definitely more renown for his work with Brit Alt band Stereophonics, but it's a wonderful insight into knowing his music. Early this year, Jones released a solo effort on V2 Records (also Stereophonics' label). The album was apparently recorded in 36 hours flat and features Jones with either just an electric, or backed by a minimalist string section.Only The Names has 10 songs all titled with names of women. The album cover is plain black with text, a premonition to what's inside. At the outset, it's thoughtful. There's descriptions of circumstance, accusation and situation aplenty. It's like 10 short films put together with the same ambience to make a movie, all about women and relationships with them.What defines Kelly Jones as an artist apart from his very distinctive voice that slides easily between raspy cries and pop loud, is
Chan Marshall And Life As We Know It 2007-03-06 12:20:00 And on today's show we have...You Are FreeCat PowerIt was late 2002 when a friend handed me this mixtape that had, apart from some Live and Better Than Ezra, this version of Oasis' Wonderwall by some woman. Now don't go "blasphemous!" on me, I didn't know better at the time. This acoustic recording, though of bootleg quality, made the Oasis hit seem thoroughly uplifting in a "smoking kills you, but so does gun running in Ethiopia" sort of way. It was like a Wonderwall reprise, only, on tonnes of Valium. Beautiful.Under the moniker Cat Power, Chan Marshall
has successfully managed to do something very few artists can claim to have done - stayed true. It sounds terribly cliche but Dear Sir could well have been her latest record. There has been the obvious progression as an artist - the slightly 'bigger' sound, the collaborations and all the frills that come with being one of the most popular indie rock ladies. But inherently, she's still the same woman who sang "Keep your guns hom
The Horrors And It 2007-03-05 08:04:00 And on today's show we have...Strange HouseThe Horrors
I really, really want Joshua Von Grimm's (Joshua Hayward) guitar effects processor. I don't know whether it's a result of his B.Sc. in Physics from University College London or watching infinite repeats of the Addams Family that he came to making his own box, but for The Horrors breed of what I like to call Frankenstein music it's perfect.Which is not to say that Strange House is perfect. In fact, it barely makes the cut.Faris Rotter (Faris Badwan) is your quintessential new garage punk vocalist. He's got the whole "look I can do The Killers AND The Strokes" thing going for him and it wouldn't be all bad, if he didn't end up sounding like a drunken bum trying to read from a teleprompter on most songs. Pugsley and Wednesday are not going to be happy.Here's what The Horrors have got going for them - the novelty. They're a little different, and have some decent instrumentation. I'm assuming they'll have their live act sorte
Damien Rice And Lisa Hannigan 2007-03-03 11:30:00 And on today's show we have...Live From The Union ChapelDamien
RiceI don't know why, as an artist title, the name of the Damien Rice
crew and band per se is just 'Damien Rice'. Okay so he writes the songs, but seriously, it's Lisa Hannigan
who has the class as a singer. That is not to say that Rice himself is a poor vocalist. As an Irish troubadour and perhaps the vanguard of the now mainstream folk 'scene' he's quite qualified as a singer. But somewhere in the middle of Live From The Union Chapel (at the song Then Go to be precise) you realise that there is a definite problem in the balance of power.As the name suggests, this EP was recorded at London's Union Chapel in what seems to be a pretty intimate setting. You can picture a small room, without too many windows and just about a hundred people seated comfortably in lounge chairs. Rice and Hannigan take the stage side by side backed by a string section that includes a few violinists and one lady on the big bass. For a live
Mirah And Being Far Away 2007-03-02 09:42:00 And on today's show we have...You Think It's Like ThisBut Really It's Like ThisMirahIt's raining outside. Not the whiny pitter-patter rain, but big blobs of water that fall a little heavy. The big green grass field you can see outside the window's now a decent shade of olive. And right in the middle is a girl. She couldn't be more than twenty five, and doesn't look too concerned that she's in the middle of an olive green field with big blob rain. She's sitting on an old plastic chair with an acoustic guitar that's a size too big. It's a pleasant picture, and though she's singing to no one in particular, you can hear it loud and clear.Mirah's is one of those folksy singers you watch in the background of any movie on bluegrass or well, music in general. You Think is her sophomore effort that was released in mid-2000. This was four years before she started touring with an actual band.She's simple, measured and very precise. She sings about relationships and how everything's
Phoenix And Not Air 2007-03-01 07:16:00 And on today's show we have...It's Never Been Like ThatPhoenix
Phoenix are a French alt-indie band. Phoenix are not Air. Phoenix are not Daft Punk. They're way cooler.Phoenix areThomas Mars (vocals)Deck D'Arcy (bass)Laurent Brancowitz (guitars)Christian Mazzalai (drums)Given their success with their single Too Young (featured on Shallow Hal and Lost In Translation) and also subsequently the success of the 'other' big French indie act, the pressure on Phoenix to deliver the goods with INBLT was high. The record was apparently recorded by the Versailles foursome at a studio in East Germany. The distance from home has, fortunately for them, paid off.Mars is careful. The album's not loud. It doesn't beg or shout for your attention. It's brilliant spring listening at its best. The melodies are contemporary and not though it's obvious that Phoenix has tried to loosen up, they're still as intricate as ever. The levels are just right, and there's absolutely not a single wasted note,
The View And Continued English Fascination 2007-02-28 12:54:00 And on today's show we have...Hats Off To The BuskersThe ViewThere's a certain indie-garage stereotype that one associates with British bands. You know, the thick accent, coupled with the drunken driving charge right after being caught for possession of whatever's hot these days. Kyle Falconer is every bit Pete Doherty as he is Julian Casablancas. And though The Strokes are fascinatingly American, The View are simply Brit.The lazy swagger and roll of tongue, the cheeky tambourines, the rhythm based riffs, it's all there in Hats Off. But what's it with The View? It's not fluke that all, and I mean ALL, their tickets for their UK headline tour sold out within an hour! Technically speaking, they're not even from England (but when has that ever made a difference). These Scot indie darlings are the current NME hype, and though we all love the NME, there's always a pinch of salt to remind one of what one really wants to listen to.The View aren't thinking too big with Hats Off.

Maximo Park And Everything British 2007-02-27 13:58:00 And on today's show we have...A Certain TriggerMaximo
ParkWhat is art-Rock? Paul Smith, Maximo's mouthpiece, used to be an art teacher before he joined the band. It's the sort of ironic creative license you get to do something presumably experimental. Of course, this doesn't mean that Maximo Park
is art-Rock per se. In fact, it's about as experimental as The Jam, and in parts is The Jam. But Smith and co have balls, and for that bit of Newcastle accent, you'd better listen.Okay, so this came out over a year and a half ago, but given that MP's next release is about a month away, it's good to have a reference. I'd heard Going Missing some time before the entire LP, and immediately thought "Franz Ferdinand". The cynicism didn't end there. The lyrics were too 'contrived' and 'influenced' for me to believe them immediately. The bass was too low. But perseverance and the Kaiser Chiefs forced me to get the whole album, and the rest as they say, is an exercise in death metal.The Read more:Everything

Paul Dempsey And Something For Everyone 2007-02-26 10:25:00 And on today's show we have...Desert LightsSomething For KateEcholalia was the first SFK album I heard. At the time, I was thoroughly impressed. I still am, but given the number of Australian bands I've been listening to (read Silverchair, Powderfinger, Wolfmother, er... Jet) that impression has been measured.Paul Dempsey
thorough hopelessness as a 'happy' singer gives SFK something that no other Aussie (or for that matter, indie) band can claim... poetic depression. It's no secret that Dempsey and SFK are brilliant songwriters, but what sets SFK apart is just the absolute and resolute despair with which the music is constructed. Which is not to say then that SFK falls into the ever popular 'depressing alt' genre of music. The music is edgy, truthful and though not obvious in the 'obvious' sense of the term, but fairly 'accessible'.Desert Lights is the Melbourne outfit's fifth outing. It was released in mid-2006 and since then has been certified Gold in Australia. The album
Kaiser Chiefs And Rubay 2007-02-24 15:40:00 And on today's show we have...Yours Truly, Angry MobKaiserChiefs
I can't get the words Ruby, Ruby, Ruby and Rubay out of my head. Though somehow, I'm not altogether convinced that I want to.The Chiefs are back in their sophomore attempt. Of course the weight of expectation wouldn't be too high? I mean, it's not like Employment had like eight singles or anything. And it's not like I went through the last five months humming "Na Na Na Na Naa". Okay, I did. So basically, KC has a lot to live up to.YT,AM is not as catchy as Employment. Maybe it's the Kaiser fatigue, maybe it's too much Maximo Park. Maybe the songs just aren't that catchy. Which is not to say that have too. "We are the angry mob, we read the papers everyday" is every bit as stadium as "I predict a riot"; but somewhere along the line Ricky Wilson forgot to reinvent his band. It's something that's going to catch a lot of bands out this year if they're not careful (Arctic Monkeys, Wolfmother, er... Maximo Park).Whe

Liam And Who's Big Mouth 2007-02-24 11:35:00 NME reports that Liam (Gallagher, obviously) was involved in a rather violent tete-a-tete with a photographer. The photographer of course claims that he was five meters away from Oasis' lead singer at the time of the alleged punch-up. Also fortuitously present at the scene were Liam's wife and his five year old son Gene.One can't wait for Gene to grow up. Not least if he's listened to any of Oasis' catalogue post The Masterplan.Why Liam? Whhyy? The above picture was clicked after just before NME lost it's chief photographer. Run now Gene, while you're still young and impressionable.Watch: When Liam Gallagher AttacksOn today's show we'll probably have the new Kaiser. Read more:Big Mouth
Klaxons And Other Loud Noises 2007-02-23 13:38:00 And on today's show we have...Myths Of The Near FutureKlaxonsI'll be honest. I like NME. And they like everything. I haven't read a single review that was under 7 of 10. And ever since they gave Klaxons 9, I'd been waiting to get my hands on this baby. Oh man is their website trippy.Heralded as the new wave of new rave, the weight of expectation on MOTNF was high. And fortunately, I'm a sucker for opening tracks. So Two Receivers had me at hello, though admittedly I thought it was the opening to Sick Sad Little World (Incubus). And though it's not really a 9 of 10 track, it's got enough spunk in it to ensure a good start to the album.From then on, it's a roller coaster ride through, well, most places in South England (okay so they're from London), some places in Morocco and wherever else there's a party with alcohol punch and fruit. Golden Skans, with it's floaty ooo's and aaa's is psychedelic pop at its best with its druids and whatnots. Somewhere in between Franz Ferdina
Laura Veirs And 2005 2007-02-22 18:49:00 And on today's show we have...Year Of MeteorsLaura
VeirsRarely does one listen to something and immediately know that the rest of the year is going to be just peachy. There's something about Laura Veirs' unassuming way of constructing a song out of what seems like a dead end that made Year of Meteors my soundtrack of 2005. Obviously, it didn't help at all that this was the first piece of her work that I was listening to, but I guess, in retrospect, that wouldn't have made a difference anyways.The effortless, flowing movements that don't demand your attention but make their presence felt nevertheless put together the tiny details that collectively make the listening more worthwile than anything else you were doing. In Magnetized she puts together the eternal sunshine of a simple folk guitar and the picture of love in turmoil in almost Cat Power-esque exquisiteness. Which is not to say that the creation is more inspired than original. In Spelunking she tries once again to oversimpl
Adele Bethel And Scottish Accents 2007-02-22 18:12:00 And on today's show we have...The Repulsion BoxSons And DaughtersAdele Bethel could well have been a waitress at some small pub in Glasgow where they served drinks at night with a round of community singing around a piano and a guitar. It's really that simple with Sons and Daughters, like the songs on The Repulsion Box wrote themselves after a particularly good night at Smith's Beer and Chips.Their inherent folk-iness (or beer buzz as I'd like to believe) sets them apart from a tonne of other Scottish
bands who're trying too hard to be Britpop, 10 years too late. Scott Paterson (second vocals) adds a bonus range to their songs that would've been good enough if it was just Bethel singing. And the unavoidably catchy thump, thump, thump is just irresistible. They had me at just Bethel's divine Scottish accent. And it's just the same when she lets out this mirror-shattering screech like on Gone. There's a certain predictability to what they do after the first few songs but that's Read more:Accents
The Kooks And Pop Goes The Weasel 2007-03-16 15:02:00 And on today's show we have...Inside In/Inside OutThe Kooks
The Kooks have balls. Call it the brazenness of youth, or Brighton, there's no denying that Luke Pritchard (please, please refrain from Star Trek jokes) and his just out of jumpers band of merry men... boys, are a confident bunch. Inside In/Inside Out is more than just a debut album for The Kooks. It's the sign of big things to come from a band that has already sold over 1.5 million copies of a record that was released just over a year ago.Frankly, the UK is just bursting at the seams with a wave of new, post-Britpop, not-Coldplay bands. The View, The Fratellis, The Horrors - all ascribing to an urban sensibility with the disclaimer of heavy accents, FOUR-chord riffs and enough innuendo for you to maintain your very own dictionary of metaphors and narratives. And where one band becomes 'cliche', another becomes 'revival'. It's a confusing scene that could do with a little shake-up once in a while. The Kooks manage to fu Read more:Weasel

Tiny shards of glass on the cold floor seemed much warmer than the life she wished to flow out of her hands. He didn't care about either. She knew he would do something like this. He always did. And that was the worst. The look in his eyes, saying miles more than any words that came out of his pressed lips. The curses she could take, the violence she couldn't.Like two sides of a coin that's spinning in the air waiting for a decision. It's more and more words of a story that isn't going anywhere.

Worst Nightmare
gets into the hands of millions of drooling teenagers and a few more before it gets onto store shelves, it's a good time to take a look back at what was in fact, the Godzilla of record releases last year. Barry Gibb once said, and this was sometime at the height of his band's career, "We're so overground, we're underground." From nobody to number one in six months gives the Arctic Monkeys every right to be the over/underground darlings that everyone and Pitchfork have an opinion about."Don't believe the hype" says the piddly little boy that Alex Turner is, before his band launches into a tribute to Lurch... er, Peter Crouch on television. With an average age of what seems like 15 and a few months, the Monkeys have managed to

Love Of Diagrams And What? 2007-03-20 12:21:00 And on today's show we have...MosaicLove Of DiagramsLove Of Diagrams are an indie-post-punk-no-wave (phew!) band from Melbourne. Absurd genre classifications aside, they signed on Matador last year and Mosaic, their sophomore effort, was released on the same. "Good going Australia!" you say? Unfortunately, there's very little substance here worth your praise, and for that matter, your time.The trio, led by the particularly stingy Monika Fikerle, find their feet in an angular and choppy riff driven Rock that has the possibility of being unique but sadly ends up sounding like a bargain bin imitation. Like an Electrelane on a Sonic Youth hangover, Love of Diagrams do exactly what one would expect of an angular, bass heavy act. It's sad given the fact that there are times on this record where you can see them taking an unexpected turn, but like a smarting slap on the face by some moderately hot chick you flirted with at a bar, they spill the beer and you're left wondering what all the
Peter Bjorn And John And Victoria And Pitchfork 2007-03-22 17:53:00 And on today's show we have...Writer's BlockPeterBjorn
And JohnThe progression of our beloved genre has been pockmarked with events and music that, to a large extent, has been the creation of dynamic imaginations, often fragile sensibilities and Death Cab For Cutie. But what happens when the lexicon that they strive so hard to create, suddenly faces a brooding reality where extremes of opinion decide whether something is worth trying or not? Writer's block?Peter Moren, Bjorn Yttling and John Eriksson bring us an LP that sees them exploring new soundscapes, experimenting with already diverse styles and delivering a very, very classy record. The trio from Stockholm break the notions of genre definition with a confident album that is indie-everything and has seen a lot of mainstream success as well. It's funny because all through the record, you don't really care to 'fit' it in.With Writer's Block, the trio have broken new ground for themselves. Lighter, more subtle arrangements
