"purveyors of a brand of indie they call post-pop and I call, simply, pop, if a strain euphorically indebted to the early 80′s glory days of literate, casually ornate tunesmithery as practiced by writers with names like Paddy and Roddy and Edwyn and even Lloyd, and if that didn’t make you sit up and take notice then you’re reading the wrong review."

Republic of Two – Purveyors of gentle, guitar-based indie

The Cribs tore through a classic energy induced set at The Roxy this past Monday, with new fourth member, legendary guitarsmith Johnny Marr.

Secret History is successor to My Favorite, I believe, led by guy who just wrote a thing in Maura Magazine.

Bollywood has filched tunes from the West for as long as I can remember - check out rip-offs from Chuck Berry, The Beatles, swing jazz and vapid disco for many home-grown hit tunes since the 1950s. But Rahman is not your archetypal tune ripper; he is, instead, an intrepid fusion tunesmith.

Tippett himself is a classically trained musician who came to jazz via Mingus, George Russell, Coltrane, and Pharoah Sanders, but his compositional element also owes to composers such as Darius Milhaud, Vaughan Williams, and Frederick Delius. His front-line group contains the Soft Machine's Elton Dean, plus Nick Evans and Marc Charig, while his rhythm section contains drummer Alan Jackson and bassist Jeff Clyne -- whose bowing sensibilities are not only highly developed but provocative as well. All eight tracks were composed and arranged by Tippett, but his penchant for writing for a particular group of musicians is very keen here: check the Charig solo in I Wish There Was Nowhere, Tippett's own solo in Violence, and the saxophonistry of Dean in Stately Dance for Miss Primm and both versions of This Evening Was Like Last Year.

Peter Wolf Crier is the product of songwriter Peter Pisano and drummer/engineer/soundscapesmith Brian Moen. "Crutch & Cane," snuck up on me late in the year, but its low-fi aesthetic and catchy melody made a lasting impression.

A Touch of Madness Victorian Quaffery

We are a well established restaurant situated in the heart of bohemian Observatory. This house was completed in the early 1900's so we felt it only fitting that, a century later, we return it to it's former glory and present a Victorian Quaffery.

What’s better than one kick-ass show at The Monkey House? Two kick-ass shows at The Monkey House! Duh. This weekend, the enterprising lads from Bear Cub Productions have lined up a thrilling two-fer of aural pleasures to slake anyone’s thirst for midwinter rock-foolery.

Spunge have opened up a new avenue in their well-established sound with new material touching on a more serious note, although never served up without an equal helping of ska-punk foolery. Over the years the band have ironed out their songs to live perfection, whilst the soundman deserves a medal or a stiff drink for keeping the sound faithful and clear throughout the night.

After successful campaigns through St Kilda, Northcote and the outer colonies, and a successful return to Fitzroy, the rock gigantonaught Jamo Knoxon takes aim at Revolver for some seriously dangerous rockfoolery. Joined by modern rockers Innerspace, fresh from their album launch, and an intimate solo set from Hew Joseph. Warning: may contain traces of rock. $10 on the door from 8.30pm.

Spunge's live perfection stems from their meticulously planned setlists

screaming lord, such opinion (DJ Mencap), Friday, 29 November 2013 08:35 (ten years ago) link

The only complaint I have with this album is the noise at the end of "23 beats off', but this might not be a bad thing if you have the taste for Sonic Youth type guitarfoolery. Still, the lyrics make the choice of music appropriate, since the song is about the noise the general public makes about people with the HIV virus.

My favourite music has been undergound/indie/punk rock for the last decade so I'm the last person who would enjoy sitting through hours of guitar solos - however I think the performance in this broadcast was pretty well balanced, only briefly veering towards unnecessary plankspankery.

that's from a discussion on whathifi.com about Cream live at the Albert Hall

DJ Mencap, your display name is a reference to the shiba snow puppy gif and to Screaming Lord Sutch- is it also meant to be a reference to the pop singer Lorde (lord)?

I mean, because people have lots of opinions about Lorde, I wasn't sure if that was meant to be part of the joke.

ensions between the city's teenaged "hooligans" and everyone else who's fed up with the invincible aura of juvenescence boiled over in the West Village yesterday, when the 68-year-old owner of Carmine St. Guitars confronted a group of rowdy kids. "They were just causing problems," guitarmonger Dennis Guglielmo told the Daily News. "They think they can come down to the Village and intimidate people." As seen in these breathtaking photos (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/chair-man-block-article-1.1150908?localLinksEnabled=false), Guglielmo approached one teen and brandished the preferred weapon of the West Village: an expensive-looking patio chair.

Eric and Parish stepped aside to let Scratch steal the show. Scratch did not disappoint, treating the crowd to an incredible display of turntablesmanship.

In a letter to Alma Mahler dated August 1914, Schoenberg waxed miltant in his zeal for the German cause, denouncing in the same breath the music of Bizet, Stravinsky, and Ravel. “Now comes the reckoning!” Schoenberg thundered. “Now we will throw these mediocre kitschmongers into slavery, and teach them to venerate the German spirit and to worship the German God.”

It is however still laced with Azagthoth's distinct style of riff-smithery that is unmistakable in its innate grasp of rhythm and tonal dynamics.

It wasn't all wall-to-wall punksmithery - in fact, such unlikely characters as The
Chieftains and John Miles were seen and heard live in the studio - but that
was really down to the fact that SO IT GOES arrived so early that even the
punk rock movement itself wasn't quite sure what it was just yet.

There is no nod resistance to these heavy duty Chicagoans, for they peddle such high calibre riffometry that it becomes a science of exact prediction, positioning and timing.

Your search - "filthy dubsteppery and bassmanship of the highest order" - did not match any documents.

Meetings between jazz ensembles and orchestra run the risk of turning the sweet into the saccharine, the dramatic into the melodramatic, but there's no risk of that with vibraphonist Locke, whose melodic disposition has been a constant undercurrent throughout his career, even when he's ripping it up and demonstrating why he's quite possibly the most important mallet-slinger of his generation.

Falco once said "the aim is to be the greatest rock band in the world." This honour obviously belongs to Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem but, with song-craftery of this class, FotL literally can't be far behind.
