Amy Winehouse came out of her semi-permanent vacation in Saint Lucia to perform with the reunited Specials at the V Festival this past weekend. She sang on “You’re Wondering Now” and “Ghost Town” alongside Terry Hall, looking rather sober and surprisingly focused. It was her first public performance in almost a year. Back on track? […]

The Verve steady as she implodes
August 13th, 2009
As with any reunion, The Verve’s motives had to be viewed with a few extra grains of salt. This is a band that has notoriously imploded multiple times. So, anyone who didn’t see the dollar signs flashing behind them when they reformed in 2007 just didn’t want to. With news that The Verve has once […]

Blur: no plans to continue
July 24th, 2009
Though it could easily be another one of Alex James’ coy, pot-stirring sound bites, the legendary louche/bassist of Blur has announced that the band has no plans whatsoever to continue, following its triumphant return to the summer festival circuit.

Courtney Love prevented from digging bigger Hole

The PR firm, Artists In Residence, had a splash page up yesterday, which announced that pre-orders will be taken for something called Minotaur by the Pixies beginning June 15th. This is a reputable firm, so it’s likely that this is legit. Whether this is a full-length […]
Nobody sings on all souls day
April 8th, 2009
I have found no band to fill the void left by Unwound. I can’t believe they’ve been broken up for seven years. This clip is of “All Souls Day” off their second album (technically, their third if you count that self-titled Honey Bear release) New Plastic Ideas; no idea when this footage was recorded, but […]
