Thursday, November 06, 2003. SUPER FURRY ANIMALS, MANCHESTER ACADEMY, OCTOBER 03. IT IS an odd crowd who go to see the Super Furry Animals; strange fans. Oddly enough, despite having never met the pint carrier before in his life, it turns out that yes, his new chum is correct; he is from Caergwrle. The main purpose of the evening is, of course, to run through the current Phantom Power album, and we are lead quickly towards Golden Retriever. But these are no carbon copies; they band seem to delight in...

Thursday, November 27, 2003. Matt Elliott - The Mess We Made (Domino). The Mess We Made. Presents us with a different Matt Elliott. The decision to drop the pseudonym suggests that we're heading into more personal territory - there'll be fewer of the knowing smiles this time around, or at least they won't be as obvious. It'd be worrying sign, if it weren't for the fact that the last 3EF album - 2000's Little Lost Soul. This is the main difference between The Mess. Drops off, keyboard and phantom vocals p...

Friday, October 31, 2003. To start this off I thought I'd post some write-ups on a bunch of singles and EPs I've bought recently. The Barbs - massive crush EP (mother tongue). This was pressed into my hand by a friend on a brief visit to HMV with the order "buy this! Email us: barbelithreviews(at)yahoo.co.uk. 3 Inches of Blood - Destroy the Orcs / Sunrise Over the Fjords. Acid Mothers Temple/Kinski - Sub Pop split. The Barbs - Massive Crush EP. Electrelane - On Parade. Matt Elliott - The Mess We Made.

Saturday, April 02, 2005. Starting some weekly reviews. I know that this blog has pretty much been sitting silent for a while, but I STILL like the idea of it, so I'm going to drop reviews in of the first batch of comics I read weekly, and maybe some trade paperbacks as I read them. I will be posting them elsewhere as well, but I think this will be a good place to get things moving:. This issue was all set-up to let us get to to know Flash's Rogue's Gallery AGAIN. Astonishing X-Men: A transition issue in...

Saturday, January 17, 2004. The Basil Wolverton Reader. The other thing that struck me as I read the book was how much Wolverton's early style reminded me of R. Crumb's early comics work. While I have never read Crumb saying that he was influenced by Wolverton (he usually cites MAD and the Disney comics as his early influences), it seems to me that Crumb drew a lot of his layout and figure style from either Wolverton or artists who used Wolverton's style. Tuesday, January 13, 2004. The #300 book sold alm...

Wednesday, January 28, 2004. The Gallery, Oxo Tower Wharf, January 04. What was odd though is that one of the photos, apparently given no special position, is of the wife of murdered reporter Daniel Pearl. Marianne hasn't forgiven his murderers, quite the opposite. She wrote to the Pakistani government asking for the death penalty for his killers and when one of them asked to see her she refused. So quite what her portrait was doing in an exhibition on forgiveness I don't know.

Wednesday, February 11, 2004. ONEIDA - SECRET WARS (Rough Trade / Jagjaguwar). After the grand musical manifestos of their previous two albums, 2001's "Anthem of the Moon" and 2002's "Each One Teach One" (the notoriety of latter's monumental, aneurysm inducing freakout. Except straight into utter oblivion? Now, a description of the 'Oneida Sound' for those of you unacquainted with it:. And this is indeed the formula superbly executed on this album's first two cuts,. Album And then, despite the song's obv...

Monday, December 22, 2003. Volcano High, MTV. I think, by and large, the general public has come to accept that MTV (Music Tele-Vision) can no longer be held responsible for their music video interests. So when commercials started airing on said network for a martial arts film called Volcano High, I wasn't really surprised. Volcano High was originally a Korean martial arts movie, Whasango. As for the hip-hop stars dub, well, if you don't like dubs, you won't like this one, obviously, but as I said, it ma...
