Bat For Lashes: The Boys of Summer (Live at EartH, London, 2019)

Bat For Lashes The Boys of Summer (ep) Bat For Lashes I’ve long been a fan of covers that go deep beyond anything resembling a ‘novelty factor’; covers where the artist (always a gifted songwriter of course) takes apart a classic track and rebuild it, not to make it better but simply to better understand […]

Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition)

Stevie Nicks Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition) Rhino Entertainment Company It was an interesting time – and very creative – for Fleetwood Mac and its members post-Rumours. The popular narrative suggests they never bettered it, but they did something much better in a way, they diversified. Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood both made solo records in […]

Drummers You Just Can’t Beat: # 14 – Vinnie Colaiuta

I first met him (in a musical sense) with the Sting album Ten Summoner’s Tales. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing – the sharp cymbal sound, the crisp snare; the fact that Colaiuta had his head around 5/4 and 7/4 time signatures – playing in 7/8 here on St Augustine In Hell. I think […]

R.I.P. Live Music

Sad news for fans of live music, The Eagles will be playing a show in Auckland, New Zealand, March 15, 2015. Frontier Touring has, at least, given fair warning, but this does seem to suggest the death of live music. It is the Eagles’ first tour of New Zealand in twenty years but to reflect the […]

The War on Drugs: Lost In The Dream

The War on Drugs Lost In The Dream Secretly Canadian It’s the third full-lengther from The War on Drugs and to my ears, instantly, it’s the best – it builds on the ambient-tinged, liquid-guitar flow indie Americana that the War’s Adam Granduciel has co-created with former band mate and long-time buddy Kurt Vile. In fact […]
