Let's quit monkeying around! Gettin' our shit together, but just so all y'all know we haven't forgotten about ya (though you may have forgotten about us)! Today, it's another in our world famous series of "Greatest Song Ever Written (at least for today)".  Nuthin' much to say about this one, other than it's Tom Waits and The Replacements , two of 'Merica's greatest treasures.  From a bootleg of the  the session that gave us "Date To Church" , which we assume y'all have heard by now.  Man, to have been a fly on the wall ...

Man, I'm not sure what to think with Pray For Rain , Chicago band Mutts ' debut album. Opening with 'Fool', one of the strongest tracks on offer, it's nevertheless immediately apparent this isn't your average rock band. Firstly, the lead singer Mike Maimone sounds like Samuel T Herring from Future Islands doing his best Tom Waits impersonation. Then marry that to to chugging guitar and some meaty rhythms and you have the aforementioned Waits fronting a boozy grunge band. Things sway towards barroom swagger and swinging cabaret, yet nothing is ever cemented in any kind of regularity, or ...

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Joshua Black Wilkins The title of Cory Branan's new album, Mutt , is the same word he uses when people ask him to describe what kind of music he plays. "It's graspable, you know? Like, what kind of music does Tom Waits play? He gets to do what he wants, he pulls from whatever form, roots music or klezmer or whatever," Branan tells Spinner. "So I was like, 'Yep, that's what I do.' It's just a big Cuisinart, a big blender of stuff." Inside that big blender you'll find elements ...

Cory Branan Mutt Bloodshot Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Mutt is made up of all different styles but solidly driven by one Cory Branan. Album Review: Mutt seems to be a fitting title for Cory Branan's new LP and debut for Bloodshot Records. It is a record with an Americana spirit and a punk soul but travels down several different musical avenues and is a true mixed genre bag that makes pinning down its style a little difficult. The album kicks off with the attention grabbing "The Corner" which is a solid acoustic number that you might think sets ...

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.

As they take to the stage, it soon becomes evident that their laid-back ...

Legendary singer Tom Jones and Welsh comedian Rob Brydon have teamed up to create a spoof video. The skit, which features Brydon as a bumbling spiritual medium and Jones as an interrupting punter, makes fun of the singer and his many stories about Presley">Elvis Presley and other iconic artists such as Jim Morrison and Frank Sinatra, with Brydon supposedly summoning Elvis’s spirit to the room, in which he comments: “He’s got two messages, he says ‘stop the name dropping’ and ‘take something for that cough'”. This is not the first time the 'Gavin and Stacey' star has ...

Der Godfather of Grunge – Neil Young – präsentiert ein neues Video. So wurde der Song "Clementine" aus Filmen der Pioniertage — das Lied ist ein Kinderlied aus dem Jahre 1863 — der USA zusammengeschnitten. Das passt, schließlich entstammt das Lied der neuen Platte "Americana", auf welcher der Frontmann mit seiner Band Crazy Horse klassische Folk-Songs aus der amerikanischen Vergangenheit neu interpretiert. Die LP wird am 6. Juli via Reprise Records erscheinen. Zuletzt trat das Rock-Urgestein noch mit Fire">Arcade Fire beim "Bridge School Benefit"-Konzert auf ( motor.de berichtete ). Hier aber das betagt wirkende Musikvideo das mit der brüchigen Stimme der Folk-Rock-Legende die ...

John Baldessari is a conceptual artist whose work includes people with colored dots on their heads, oddly composed photographs and large trumpet sculptures. What happens when the gravelly-voiced Tom Waits narrates a film about an artist who proclaims "I will not make any more boring art"?

The final part of Kris Needs Fifty Outiders list for Clash magazine's Outsider issue includes such musicians as Mark Stewart, Daniel Johnston, Underground Resistance, MF Doom and more. 41. MARK STEWART Emerging from punk’s maelstrom fronting the fearsome Pop Group, Mark Stewart charted an idiosyncratic collison course with hip-hop, funk and dub reggaes; one of the most volcanic but subversive creative minds this country has produced. 42. JEFFREY LEE PIERCE After screaming into the Eighties with his Gun Club, Pierce blazed a kamikaze trail of incendiary gigs, epoch-making albums and hell-raising behaviour, claiming his life when he died ...
