The Art Of Incongruity: A Chat with Daniel Ash from Bauhaus

This was a slightly odd assignment: do a standard promotional interview with a guy who doesn’t want to talk about the new album – there’s no tour, the band is not going to work together again; all of that is laid out ahead of the call, but talk to him anyway…okay, sure. Just one other […]

Old Interview Haunts: Old Interviews Haunt

These days I do most of my interviews, face to face, in long form, for the podcast. And I love doing that. But I have a lot of time – too – for the old phoner. I’m always saying, on the podcast, that I hate/d the “15 minute phoner” and that’s true. I did. And […]

Five Albums I’m Loving Right Now: Andee Blacksugar

Brooklyn’s Andee Blacksugar is a guitarist/songwriter/singer/producer who helms a “highly destructive electro-rock” outfit called Black Sugar Transmission. Equal parts jagged new wave, power pop harmony, metallic muscle, glammy swagger and techno-gasmic sound design, BST lives on its own singular piece of musical real estate. Black Sugar Transmission has released five albums prior to its latest, Violent Muses – brand new as of  February […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1240

Bauhaus, Crackle: The Best of Bauhaus (1998) I quite like Bauhaus – but I couldn’t tell you I’m a diehard fan. I interviewed Daniel Ash once and that was cool, he was nice and interesting. I can’t link to it because it was when I was writing for another newspaper under a fake name (the […]

Museum: Traces Of

Museum Traces Of Inakustik German pop group Museum traces around Suede on the opening track of their album Traces Of in a way that Interpol traced around Joy Division. Placebo would be another obvious reference point (particularly on For The Very First Time) but Museum almost takes the nu-metal approach to Britpop influences, which is […]
