This is a truly wonderful free exhibition of photos on display in Glasgow until 27 February. From the accompanying website:- Harry began his photographic career in his Glasgow home town, standing outside the Apollo, flogging gig-goers newly-developed shots from bands' Edinburgh shows the night before. Harry's impulse to guerilla lensmanship swiftly drew him to London: from 1979 to 1984 he was a staff photographer for the music weekly Sounds, providing countless front covers. During those five years, Harry's photographs covered the post-punk waterfront, from Blondie to David Bowie; the Associates to Devo by way of Joy Division, Bryan ...

Quite possibly the coolest music video ever shot. The Cure’s Robert Smith + Siouxsie’s Steven Severin play an inviting instrumental in 1983. Download it: The Glove – A Blues in Drag p.s. vimeo apparently doesn’t believe that archiving rare and beautifully shot music videos is a just use of their services so they took the [...]

Veronica Falls know how to get a party started. No, seriously. How many other bands could get a Saturday night crowd dancing with a song that contemplates a plummet to death off the edge of a cliff? Picture this, the most romantic of scenes if you will. The Leeds indie cognoscenti have packed the floor of the Brudenell Social Club, swaying blissfully, while three songs into their set, from underneath floppy fringes and curly hair, indie-poppers Veronica Falls are thundering out the swoonsome, Cramps-esque chorus of ‘Beachy Head’. “I’m gonna miss you, when you’re gone” coos singer Roxanne ...

"Che angoscia questo Justin Bieber! Come fa Ford ad ascoltarlo sempre?" Le vite degli altri per parlare di me. Un gruppo di film biografici e di personaggi che uniti gli uni agli altri regalano una fotografia, anzi un video, piuttosto completo dei miei (non) valori e delle mie (non) convinzioni. Dalle lotte per la libertà di stampa, espressione e parola a quelle contro il razzismo, dalla genialità di creare qualcosa in grado di cambiare il mondo a qualcosa in grado di cambiare solo noi stessi, da uno sguardo oltre le apparenze fino alla volontà di lottare contro tutte le avversità ...

Something came up on the i-pod shuffle the other day that got me thinking that it was perhaps the finest of the singles released by Siouxsie & the Banshees . Not more than 20 minutes later, another random single came on that made me think this was in fact their finest 45. All of which got me doing a wee bit of research... Between 1978 and 1995, the band released 30 singles. Of these, all but three sold enough copies to gain a place in the UK Top 50. But they were never a band that had enormous hits – just two made the Top 10 and a further three went Top 20. A further thirteen of their singles stalled in the middle sections of the charts (ie between positions 21 and 40) which at least got them regular name checks on Top Of The Pops. They were also a band who had an unfortunate knack of reaching #41 and then falling away – this happened to them on four occasions. So a few more sales here and there could have seen history record them as one of the great singles bands in terms of sales rather than merely quality. Funnily enough, while I’ve often thought of myself as a fan, I don’t have all that many of their singles in the collection. Admittedly, a few went missing back in the mid 80s when I lost all of my collection of 7” singles in a misadventure, but while I’ve since then replaced many of these as the years have gone by, I’ve never been inclined to do so with the Banshees. Partly this was to so with the singles being widely available on a couple of excellent ‘greatest hits’ type LPs, volume one of which was released as far back as 1981, but also because so few of the 45s had contained particularly memorable or essential b-sides. And it’s this lack of plastic in the cupboard that has led to them not being featured so often here at TVV over the past five and a bit years as they deserve. So without any further ado, here in descending order are my three favourite S&tB; singles:- Number 3 mp3 : Siouxsie & The Banshees – Slowdive From 1982. This was one of those pesky #41 hits. It’s the strings that do it for me. That and the it where Ms Sioux sings/moans ‘Oh My God’ in the most orgasmic of fashions. This was a song brilliantly covered many years later by LCD Soundsystem mp3 : LCD Soundsystem – Slowdive Number 2 mp3 : Siouxsie & The Banshees – Cities In Dust From 1985. This got ...

From wiki:- The Beta Band formed in 1996 around St Andrews musicians Steve Mason (vocals, guitar) and Gordon Anderson. The two had plans to call their group The Pigeons but later changed their minds. As they pulled together songs for their debut EP, Champion Versions, they added Robin Jones (drums) and John Maclean (DJ, sampler, keyboards). Steve Duffield was the original bassist but quit the band soon after recording Champion Versions. Not long after they were signed to Regal/Parlophone, Anderson became ill and decided to quit the band. He would later produce recordings under the name Lone Pigeon. The ...

If there were any doubt that 2012 was going to be Dead Sara’s year, the L.A. quartet’s scorching performance on Tuesday at the Troubadour quashed it.
