Monday, September 30, 2013. Has anyone told Este Haim that Derek Smalls of Spinal Tap was meant to be an object of ridicule, rather than emulation? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Irk The Purists: Kiss FM
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014/07/kiss-fm.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. Also rather good is this newie from Sheffield's Slow Club. I'm not entirely sure the video suits the song, but there's no denying that The Pieces. Is a pretty fine choon, and, if there were any justice in the world, it'd be a summer no. 1 hit. Incidentally, there isn't and it won't be. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Irk The Purists: The Real McCoy
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-real-mccoy.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. There aren't enough pop songs based on the novels of Tom Wolfe, whom long-term readers will know takes up a large amount of shelf space chez ItP. In fact before today I could only recall one, and that was New Kids On The Block's 1988 classic You Got It (The Right Stuff). Which is clearly a homage. To Wolfe's description of the 1960s space race The Right Stuff. So it was exciting to hear Tom Vek's Sherman (Animals in the Jungle). As Vek himself has admitted. RIP DJ E-Z Rock .

Irk The Purists: Heads You Win
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014/05/heads-you-win.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. I recently got talking to a nice chap from a band called Stats. He said they were influenced by Talking Heads, which is something you don't hear very often. Like the Associates, like Sparks, they were a singular band who clearly had a devoted following, none of whom seem to have used them as a template for further musical exploration. A shame really. I can't quite see why. Perhaps if they'd have stopped after Remain In Light. But listen to Stats. Or Crosseyed and Painless. From Shak...

Irk The Purists: Seeing Double
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2014/03/seeing-double.html
Sunday, March 09, 2014. We got to the Usher Hall a little too late to see Rock Action. S Remember Remember last night; they were one of the support acts for Mogwai, the other being The Pastels, who we did get to see. Is it possible to review Mogwai without alluding to that NME cliché "Cathedrals of Sound"? Probably not. So instead, in honour of the first support band, we proudly unveil the ItP rundown of the Top Ten Groups With Two Words Exactly The Same As Their Band Name. Subscribe to Irk The Purists.

Zerox Machine: Robbie Williams' Shorts
http://zeroxmachine.blogspot.com/2007/04/robbie-williams-shorts.html
Lock Up Your Brain, 'cause I'm Here Again. Wednesday, April 11, 2007. Broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK the other night, these are a set of 6 very clever short films inspired by tracks of Robbie's latest (and in my opinion, greatest) CD, Rudebox. Enjoy! I couldn't find the actual film for Kiss Me but here is the "Making Of" instead. This one just missed out on one of the 6 winning slots. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Irk The Purists: October 2013
http://irkthepurists.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 20, 2013. Leafing through today's Daily Mail (hey, it's for research purposes only), I was gratified to read the heart-warming story of a 33 year old man who has spent $100,000 on plastic surgery in a quest to make himself look more like his pop star idol. And I have to admit, it's money very well spent. He very closely resembles Thomas Dolby in his pomp. Wait, hang on a second.what do you mean he was trying to look like Justin Bieber?
