First impressions: if you miss Lewis Taylor, this is the record for you.

There's a new Lito today (two, if you count that Theories mixtape) and a new Gates, so those are at the top of the pile right now, but I'm looking forward to hearing this. The studio version of Sugah Daddy dropped yesterday, and my first impressions…

I'd imagine the decision to use repros may have been forced upon them a little bit. If you consider that some of the stage costumes will be 40 years old at least, and that they'll already have endured the wear and tear of a substantial tour or two (…

The late Christopher Hitchens, five years ago.

As that rather good list pino reposted illustrates, boogie is/was really a singles-driven genre in much the same way as most other forms of mainstream black music tend to be. Although the SS way is to argue in ever decreasing circles over the etymol…

This fan-shot concert movie is surprisingly good, if a bit ropey sound-wise. It's also 2 hours 20 minutes long. I wish he'd brought that show to Europe because it looks fucking wild.

This season's taking on all the existential despair of a particularly bad comedown. Belated happy birthday from Berlin, J.

This is worth a read for anyone seeking a handy and not-too-opinionated digest of the squillions of words written on this subject as it relates to Taylor Swift; http://imgntn.tumblr.com/post/101994052897/tswizzle It appears T-Swizzy w…

I don't trust people who get snobby about pop music, but honestly, has there ever been an artist as utterly swagless as Taylor Swift? Every time I hear that song - and I hear it a lot - I think of this, the most cringe-inducing scene in one of the w…

Stevie Winwood and Lewis Taylor for me. Todd Rundgren, too. Rod Stewart walked the line at one point, and there was a period when Paul Rodgers could probably have knocked out a killer Muscle Shoals-style soul album any time he wanted. Speaking of wh…

I thought his last album was pretty decent. Some good beats and a few mildly diverting dollops of Devin-esque stoner self-deprecation. Not heard an awful lot else of his stuff. That big deal he's just done is kind of curious, though. I haven't read …

It's looking nice, but I did notice a couple of posts from the Brits thread disappeared during the switchover - nothing major, by any means, but I thought I'd mention it. Anybody notice if anything similar happened with any of the other big threads?…

We appear to have "lost" some pages and a few posts during the changeover (glitch-in-the-Matrix-R). I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash. New format looks nice and clean, eh? Suzi Quatro's covered The Normal's Warm Leatherette. It's ace. …
