Nine Inch Nails: Ghosts V (Together)

Nine Inch Nails Ghosts V: Together The Null Corporation Endings are always beginnings. And in the Nine Inch Nails band-career and discography there are plenty of examples, from remix projects and reworkings through to the hiatus-points of a now stop-start career and the side-projects that in some way always inform the work of this group […]

Deantoni Parks: SILVER CHORD

Deantoni Parks SILVER CHORD humani machina When Deantoni Parks released his sublime one-man-band Technoself I’d had the lucky chance to see him (as part of a band) do what he does. He’s a wonderful drummer that has worked with a great range of artists – but as a solo act he is basically sat at […]

Five Songs For Friday: 31 – Sustained Creepy Moods…

I like movie soundtracks – score. I like ambient music. I like heavy metal. I particularly love when two or three of those things can come together to create a sinister, creeping – creepy – mood. A sustained sinister creeping – creepy – mood, even. So I wanted to explore that today via five favourites. Five Songs For Friday has […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 138: Limp Bizkit – “Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water” 

A lot of this world’s problems and most of its very bad music comes from white dudes with daddy issues. And I was reminded of that finally listening to Limp Bizkit’s breakthrough album. I was reflecting on how lucky I was to be completely above (and beyond) nu-metal in all its numb-skull variations. I was ‘too […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 118: The Young Gods – “L’eau Rouge (The Red Water)”

You arrive at The Young Gods due to name-drops and connections including David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails and Swans – and maybe they sound, at least a little bit anyway, like all three of those artists combined. Okay, you might have arrived at them back in the day without being prompted but for me it […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 387

V/A, Natural Born Killers [OST] (1994) I liked the film – an Oliver Stone rewrite/trashing of a Quentin Tarantino script. Well, I reckon it works well, or worked – it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But I’ve always loved the soundtrack. I still have my CD – still play it in the car, […]

When The Reunion Tour Bears A Strange and Rotten Fruit: The Dreaded Comeback Album

When David Lynch appeared in a recurring role cameo role on the TV show Louie his character uttered a wonderful line, “You have to go away to come back”. I think about that a lot. I’m really happy for anyone who enjoyed seeing the Pixies in 2017 – especially, I guess, the people that had […]

Songs Sung Blue: Everybody Knows One…

People love Johnny Cash’s version of the Nine Inch Nails song, Hurt because of the timing; that video, his wife had died – then Johnny died shortly after. Complications resulting from a broken heart. It’s a good song, a good version. But the original is better. I know I’m not alone in thinking that – […]

V/A: Love & Mercy [OST]

Various Artists: Music From Love & Mercy: The Life, Love and Genius of Brain Wilson Capitol The film is wonderful, a favourite from this year and one of the key ingredients is this score and accompanying soundtrack. The score is created by Atticus Ross, I say created (as well as composed) because he weaves moments […]

MG: MG

MG MG Mute MG is Martin Gore, or Martin L. Gore if you prefer – he obviously prefers MG – naming both himself and the album that. You know him from his work with Depeche Mode, and here, on an entirely synth-driven, entirely instrumental album you’ll recognise those textures, those intro/outro ideals from that band’s […]

Stubs: # 5 – Big Day Out, Auckland, 2000

I’ve never been a fan of The Big Day Out – given it a lot of grief, really. But I have (mostly) enjoyed the events I attended, only went to four Big Day Outs. That was enough. I don’t like the bleed between stages, the lack of preparation, the fly-by-night audience of see-and-be-seen-scene bullshit. This, […]

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Gone Girl [Soundtrack From The Motion Picture] Columbia Rolling out over two dozen tracks and 90 minutes you can see – or rather hear – instantly that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ score for David Fincher’s new film Gone Girl is a crucial element, an essential piece in/of the puzzle […]
