"If we have fans anywhere, I don't know"Se negli Anni Novanta avevi a cuore certa musica non potevi fare a meno di amare i Teenage Fanclub, band in tutto e per tutto scozzese che però aveva come marchio di fabbrica un suono saldamente americano. Sulle riviste leggevi che quelle melodie radiose e quelle chitarre così dense erano ereditate da tali Big Star , uno di quei nomi per i quali vedevi spendere spesso la parola "seminale", ma all'epoca non c'era molto tempo per approfondire. Io li recuperai molto più tardi, già in anni di Soulseek, e rimasi colpito da come canzoni di quarant'anni prima avessero ...polaroid > un blog alla radio >6 February 2012

Brendan Benson Unveils New MaterialBrendan Benson is set to return, with new studio album ‘What Kind Of World’ due to be released on April 23rd. Brendan Benson was never likely to stay quiet for long. With four solo albums under his belt, two with the Raconteurs and countless side projects it was only a matter of time before the American songwriter kicked off a new project. Now based in Nashville, the songwriter went back into the studio last year. Using the analogue only Welcome To 1979 complex, Brendan Benson was joined by members of Big Star, Phantom Planet and more.

Johnny Depp Could Use Some Sun In New Pic Fr ..Yeah, fine, we get it. Johnny Depp is a big star and if you're gonna drop early teases of a movie, he's the guy that's gotta be featured. But it would be nice to start seeing the rest of the cast of "Dark Shadows" (particularly, Eva Green, just saying). Anyway, another new look of a pale faced, slick haired vampire Baranabas Collins has arrived. And yeah, being undead isn't so hot for your complexion. As you know, the movie is a Tim Burton directed adaptation of the cult ‘60s show that nobody remembers, that centers on ...:: The Playlist ::20 January 2012

DOWNLOAD: Dear Lions(@dearlions) – Lying to ..DOWNLOAD: Dear Lions - Boarding House A lot of comparisons have surrounded the indie-rock band Dear Lions since first releasing their self-titled debut back in the spring. They've ranged from Jens Lekman to The Smiths, even all the way to Big Star, but while their influences are notable and often evident, what makes their music so enjoyable are the warm and welcoming vocals of Ricky Lewis matched with Adam Rubenstein's dream-like soundscapes on guitar. Officially releasing their second EP entitled, Lying to My Lies, The 405 offered a first taste premiering the album's debut single "Exactly the Same ...Musik Junkies17 January 2012

All That Jazz: Like Someone in LoveMedium Cool featuring Alex Chilton : Like Someone In Love [ purchase ] When I think of Alex Chilton, I think of at least half a dozen different voices. There's the horny teenaged, weary beyond its years, husky voice of the Box Tops' “The Letter.” In the famous Big Star years there was the vulnerable, love-struck voice of “I'm In Love With A Girl,” the joyous, giddy voice of “September Gurls,” and the burned out, utterly despairing voice of “Holocaust.” In his early solo years there was the sleazoid, sex tour guide voice of “Bangkok.” Later there was the winsome but ...Star Maker Machine12 January 2012
