Joey Ramone …Ya Know? [BMG Chrysalis; 2012] by Alex R Wilson Rating: Joey Ramone represents something to me that I know is far removed from what was probably the reality of the person: a cult member of a cult-like band that fostered the idea that you didn’t need to know how to play your instruments (in the traditional virtuosic sense) to form an amazing band. I remember the first Ramones song I both heard and learned to play on guitar: “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue.” As a young’un who had held a guitar for about a month ...

We're still putting ourselves back together after another brilliant time in Brighton at The Great Escape festival. The weekend is an opportune time to see some of the best new music out there and our writer Nikita Winayak alongside XFM DJ John Kennedy, came across some of the most promising and fresh bands out there. Swim Deep Swim Deep were first on the agenda and since I’ve become a big fan, I'm extremely excited to hear what this Midlands four-piece have to offer live. As they take to the stage, it soon becomes evident that their laid-back ...

This tickles my vampire. I feel like walking to a cemetery in a wet forest. Look out for the “We Are On Fire” 7-inch this June 5th. David Sitek recorded the single, and Antony Hegarty lends his own ghostly form to the B-side, “Tearz For Animals.” I’m going to go drain a creature of its [...]

“I feel like my brattiness was seriously lacking on the record,” admits Catcall aka Catherine Kelleher about her long-awaited debut album ‘The Warmest Place’. In this track-by-track guide, Kelleher speaks about her many collaborators, inspirations and influences – from Roxy Music to The Go-Gos and ESG. ‘The Warmest Place’ This is an a cappella track that opens the record and leads into ‘August’. It was written in 2006 after my dad died very suddenly of a heart attack, sort of a cathartic exercise which I think became a catalyst for me trying to do something solo (which at the time was ...

Heidi Klum is barely a stranger to baring her goodies for a fashionable cause. Her latest follow-up to a nude photo shoot with Allure Magazine is another nude shot for Astor Cosmetics company's 60th anniversary.  PHOTOS: Heidi Klum In Allure Magazine 2012 Heidi is no stranger to extravagant body painting, as she is well known for her over the top Halloween costumes that once included a body stripped of skin exposing muscles and ligaments similar to those from the Bodies exhibition.  PHOTOS: Heidi Klum Plays With Her Kids In Cold Water Park Heidi shared her thoughts on the process ...

Sunshine. “Hot Button Topic” brings it. Your joints will free up and veins will pump with sparking endorphins; you’ll hunger for the mossy sting of fresh-cut grass stabbing up your nostrils; you’ll want to get your knees kicking high up; your fists will fold, and you’ll flail your arms as you jog out into the warming air — the smog of honking, zooming cars doesn’t even bother you; you’re off: This is a Summer Jam! Maybe it’s those whirling synthesizers wailing and waving their silvery tones through some hip-shake-inducing mobius-strip loop; or maybe it’s ...

At its best, these 80s imitators sounded like Ferry">Bryan Ferry singing “More than This,” except with all the charm and twinkle sucked out, leaving a residue that stunk of congealed Spandau Ballet, When in Rome, Haircut 100—and before you start to think “Wow, I love those bands, and that sounds awesome,” remember that the best singles by those bands were great because they had such strong personality! Drain the personality, and you’ll have Wild Beasts. Henri Matisse wants to paint their noses red… with blood.

The debut by Canberra four-piece Hoodlum Shouts is an artfully crafted epic, writes MAX EASTON . Rugby League, post-colonialism, distance and falsified patriotism are all touched on in Hoodlum Shouts’ Young Man, Old Man ; a record indebted to the dark history, tortured personalities and unique geography of Australia. It’s a complicated album, spending as much time in insular depressions as it does in anthemic pub-rock, with Sam Leyshon’s Garret-via-Biafra warble sitting over rollicking arrangements from the pages of Diesel & Dust -era Midnight Oil. The oft-mentioned homage to conscious ’80s pub rock is only a surface quality though, more feeling given to the languid observations of The Drones than the direct criticisms of The Oils. It’s a record that taps into our imagined Australia – humid taverns, Nullarbor drives and rusty tin sheds sitting on stretches of red sand – the land we tend to imagine rather than the gentrified global cities that are the reality. In that sense, Young Man, Old Man is escapism; visiting injustice, pain, hate and misery through its shady characters, personalised historical accounts and thriving dynamics. It’s as strangely ...

I just climbed onto my roof in a torrential downpour after two gallons (that’s not an exaggeration, that’s how big the two buckets were) of water poured into my bedroom, and proceeded to “clear the snorkle” so to speak by jamming the back end of a broom down the gutter drain pipe, pounding on the [...]
