The case / lang / veirs collaboration: Probably The Album of The Year

It’s not often that a collaboration of superstars actually works, actually delivers on any hype. For every Traveling Wilburys there’s a SuperHeavy. Most “supergroups” start off with that bold claim and shortly after the term “short-lived” is added. But we’re suckers for it. The idea that big name musicians from different eras or bands or […]

Wilco: Schmilco

Wilco Schmilco Anti./Epitaph I had a wee hissy-fit the first couple of times I listened to this – Tweedy is out front and centre and almost all of the songs are acoustic-driven, so where’s the really great guitar of Nels Cline (I mean it is there but just not doing what I want it to […]

Tweedy: Sukierae

Tweedy Sukierae Anti/Epitaph Here Jeff Tweedy of Wilco has made a double album with his son Spencer on drums. It’s so painfully long and pleased with itself they should have called it Ron Jeremy. Actually, it would make more sense, on paper maybe, if this was the new Ryan Adams album – and the self-titled […]

Cibo Matto: Hotel Valentine

Cibo Matto Hotel Valentine Virtual Label/Chimera Cibo Matto released two albums in the 1990s and then broke up. Sean Lennon was, briefly, a member of the group. And though there’s an obvious hipster appeal here, like a, erm, slowed down Chicks on Speed, it’s nice to have Cibo Matto back – back with their third […]
