Initially a proficient micro-budget character study with promises of suspense, "Beyond The Hill" squanders its tension by hitting repetitive notes and devolving into a heavy-handed parable. Emin Alper's little bag of tricks can't sustain an entire film and no amount of beautifully-photographed landscapes make up for the fact that movie is essentially a slow-burn without the burn. The family reunion taking place on Faik's farmland property isn't so genial -- now that he has an audience, the old man wastes little time in vocalizing his disgust with the nomads that roam his acreage and destroy his crops ...

This 1969 release by Watertown, New York’s Wool proves that even when you have strong talent and all the right connections, sometimes it still isn’t enough to get your band to break. The group formed in the early ’60s, and were originally known as Ed Wool and The Nomads.  Ed Wool, who was a master guitar [...]

We have established countless times on this blog that The Hellacopters were one of the finest, if not the finest rock 'n' roll band of all time. And by "we" I mean me. They may have made the 11th best album of the 90s and the 3rd best album of the 00s , but their might goes deeper than that. I honestly and literally cannot think of one single song of theirs I don't like. I don't think I can say that about any other band. During their fourteen year existence they released seven albums, countless EPs and singles ...

En lang, overbevisende tour-de-force. En forrygende omgang jazzfunk.

Vic Chesnutt, the late Athens, Georgia-based musician, wasn't beloved out of charity. Sure, his confinement to a wheelchair since a 1983 car accident made him an unlikely and easy-to-admire force as a touring rock act, but it was his completely gripping, unfiltered songwriting that earned him appreciation from friends like Michael Timmins of Canadian rockers Junkies">Cowboy Junkies. That respect flows through Demons , the Junkies' forthcoming album of Chesnutt covers, out Jan. 18 digitally (and Feb. 15 on CD). Download their version of "Wrong Piano" below. Timmins and his band toured with Chesnutt years ago, and forged a long-standing ...

A few weeks back, Gav from Get Involved asked me to contribute to his Shing-A-Ling series of podcasts. Being a big fan, I could hardly refuse. Regular visitors to Diddy Wah will have noticed that I've been buying lots of West Coast 60s surf instrumentals recently. With the podcast in mind, I figured it would be swell to bring them together in a mix. The result is Mashi, which I'm hoping will pipe a little sunshine into your day. I've also done some tinkering with the site layout, including a new Mashi-inspired header. I trust this looks ...

The Hellacopters had a major impact on my life and my listening to music would be vastly different had it not been for the mighty 'Copters. They formed in 1994 and I discovered them two years later, the same year their debut LP Supershitty To The Max! was released. I got it for Christmas that year (at the wee age of 15), and I haven't stopped listening to them since. The album kicked in a huge door, and introduced me to a world of rock music I had no idea existed. I read every interview I could find and ...

Here we are in present time! I have just finished my newest record King of Power Pop and it will be released August 24th on Bomp/Alive Records. This record is a unique record for me as it was written over a very short space of time. When I started my last record, Ribbon of Gold in 2007 I had about 4 months from start to finish and it was the first time in my career that I had a deadline for a record. Usually I would make a record when I had the songs, so there was never too ...

Any avid reader of this blog would know my love for Stockholm's metal heroes Entombed. I've dedicated several posts to them, and included them in many of my mp3 shuffles . And as we all know, they made the best album of the 90's . As I posted yesterdays mp3 shuffle (which not only included Entombed but also Haystack, a band featuring Entombed's then-guitarist Ulf Cederlund) I couldn't help but think of all of the side-projects the Entombed lads have been involved with over the years. Here follows some of my favorites: This first one is the ...
