Radstock - a music blog.: Mariachi El Bronx
http://radstockistrad.blogspot.com/2009/08/mariachi-el-bronx.html
Monday, 3 August 2009. I was an avid reader of Kerrang! Back in 2003. I still think it was a good magazine back then and not so sycophantic and aimed at teenagers as it is now. I used to buy a lot of albums off the back of reading Kerrang! I've been researching Mariachi music for the benefit of you, the reader. It originated in the late 19th century in western Mexico where it served to provide romantic vibes to wedding ceremonies ('Mariachi is French for marriage). Mariachi's distinctive sound (a...On wh...

Radstock - a music blog.: Big Business - Mind The Drift
http://radstockistrad.blogspot.com/2009/07/big-business-mind-drift.html
Wednesday, 1 July 2009. Big Business - Mind The Drift. I REALLY think everyone should listen to 'The Drift' which can be found here. The lyrics are funny and there's a degree of irony throughout 'Mind The Drift' which tells me that the band have taken into consideration the first rule of good heavy music - don't take yourselves too seriously. ' Cats, Mice. Here's a good Youtube video. Of Big Business in action recently. Enjoy listening. 6 July 2009 at 03:26. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Radstock - a music blog.: June 2009
http://radstockistrad.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 June 2009. I think it's in the arrangement of the songs where The Dead Weather are interesting. You don't quite know where the song will go next or whether you understand the idea behind the songwriting. Have a listen to ' Hang You From The Heavens. And see what I mean. If you ask me it's weird, quite daring songwriting for a rock band. It takes risks and at least that makes you think about it. Sunday, 14 June 2009. Now for something old. Apparently he was influenced by the biblical writings ...

Wednesday, 22 July 2009. Guided By Voices - 'Do Be'. To follow on from the previous post, here's another gem I've discovered from Robert Pollard. There's something about this song that has really captivated me this month. Something in the charming intimacy of the recording and Pollard's exuberant delivery of 'daaaarling! Which slightly distorts the sound. It's taken over my month. Here it is, enjoy! Tuesday, 7 July 2009. Cosmos - Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks. Got legitimate beef, full of goodness and grief.

Tuesday, 7 July 2009. Cosmos - Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks. Got legitimate beef, full of goodness and grief. I've always been very grateful that Pollard has chosen to release so many of the 5,000 or so songs he claims to have written. People often complain that Pollard needs an editor because he releases too many of his songs. Maybe, but isn't it fun and rewarding to sift through his songs until you find one you particularly like?

Radstock - a music blog.: Dinosaur Jr. - Farm
http://radstockistrad.blogspot.com/2009/07/dinosaur-jr-farm.html
Thursday, 2 July 2009. Dinosaur Jr. - Farm. The reason I bring Neil Young into this post is that I think Dinosaur Jr.'s new record is the album Neil and his band Crazy Horse should. Be releasing this year. The sad fact is I don't think he could or is interested in playing such music these days. 'Farm', the second record Dinosaur Jr. have released since their reformation a couple of years ago is far too loud, ballsy and tuneful for 63 year old Neil to have written (I'm really sorry man).
