I will show you Arcade Fire in a handful of ..Scratch any literate songwriter – Win Butler, David Bowie, PJ Harvey – and beneath the surface you will find a debt to TS Eliot The New Yorker critic Louis Menand, reflecting on TS Eliot's transition from radical modernist to arch-conservative, wrote in a review of the poet's letters: "He tried to shut the door on modern life. It was too late of course. He was the author of Prufrock and The Waste Land. He was already inside." Eliot would not have loved pop music but pop music loves Eliot. Ninety years after the publication of The Waste Land , he remains ...Guardian music23 May 2012

All aboard the Tom Waits bus tour!From downtown dives to the Hollywood hills, a trawl around the singer's former stomping ground is a glimpse of a vanishing LA You can't get more than 10ft down the main drag of Hollywood Boulevard without being offered a Los Angeles bus tour. But the Tom Waits tour, Crawling Down Cahuengua (named after a line from the 1980 song Heartattack and Vine), doesn't pimp for custom on the side of the road. Run by Esotouric, it's been an annual event for the last five years. This year's tour was held the weekend before the elusive ...Guardian music23 April 2012

Goodbye: GoodbyeThe Postmarks: Goodbye [ purchase ] Nothing complex here, and that’s precisely the point. An intricate progression would infer a deep issue worth mulling over. Instead, The Postmarks bless us with a plucky, punctual melody that says this is it, don’t wreck yourself thinking about it . Goodbye, I’ll be gone when you open your eyes , Tim Yehezkely begins singing as the first notes on 2007’s eponymous album are played. I’m skipping town like a stone thrown across the water. Echoing the jangly, indie, retro-pop sounds of overseas counterparts like The Clientele and Belle and Sebastian, The Postmarks ...Star Maker Machine8 March 2012

The support act is Boom Monk Ben, who gets the crowd dancing early on before Yoda arrives, with a set that mashes up electro, house, hip hop and pop.

The Lower Third – Hiromi RestraintO.K. I am back on Planet Earth after a visit to Planet Tatooine. I stayed in the pirate city of Mos Eisley and during my stay I hung out in the Cantina there.

AMORE DE DIASAmor de Días (“love of days”) have released their debut album on Merge Records. I’ll pretty much post about anything Merge puts out. AdD includes members of The Clientele and Pipas, and the music is beautiful, complex chamber pop. My only complaint is that the whole albums sounds whispered. With a lead singer willing to [...]Berkeley Place27 December 2011
