Press info: “Chelsea Wolfe’s latest album, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, is a rebirth in process. It’s about how such a moment connects to our past, our present, and our future. It’s a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties, as well as an important reminder that healing is cyclical and circular, and not a simple linear process. As Wolfe explains, “It’s a record about the past self reaching out to the present self reaching out to the future self to summon change, growth, and guidance. It’s a story of setting yourself free from situations and patterns that are holding you back, in order to become self-empowered. It’s an invitation to step into your authenticity.”
She already disclosed 3 tracks. All pure Wolfe. Mysterious and enigmatic.
Washington‘s power pop indies BAD MOVES are gearing up for their 3rd LP with
its first single, titledNEW YEAR’S REPRIEVE, which is billed as a pessimistic holiday anthem.
“There are too few pessimistic holiday songs generally, and even fewer pessimistic New Year’s Eve songs specifically. “New Year’s Reprieve” is Bad Moves’ contribution towards filling that shortage. It’s a song about following your lowest lows with your highest highs and about the inevitable comedowns the mornings after. It’s about asking the question, “Over a lifetime, will you see more highs than lows?” and knowing either answer is disingenuous. Still, in a time of year marked by compulsory optimism, the lows can hit harder than ever — and that’s something worth singing about. We hope this song will sit well next to “Fairytale of New York” (rest in power Shane and Kirsty) on a depressing holiday mixtape for someone out there.”
TUTV: For all of us who hate the yearly commercial feel good fakery surrounding
the Xmas/New Year’s holidays Bad Moves‘ new earworm is what you want and need
to experience a feel sad reality.
On the other hand, if you ignore the lyrics, you will shake your hips along to the sassy sway of this guitar/bass/drum loaded belter, and you’ll feel good again. It actually has a country rock vibe that swings forth and back with irresistible swagger. Vivid vocals and a ridiculous, infectious chorus. It’s your choice. Feeling low or high these days. Either way, this is a great move.
THE SMILE featuring two radioheads – Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood – and drummer Tom Skinner — released their debut album A Light For Attracting Attention last year in May. They already canned a 2nd one, titledWALL OF EYES and it will land on 26 January 2024.
Why do I remember RICK PARFITT here every year since he passed away
7 years ago today, on 24 December. Because he was the 24/7 blonde God
riff-king of legendary 12-bar boogie rockers STATUS QUO.
And? Well, I saw the Quo about thirty times live. Am I serious? Absolutely
It was always no-nonsense, sweaty head-banging fun. And I liked-liked-liked-it,
rockin’ all over the world
Just like here with a let your hair hang down and boogie
live TV version of Down The Dustpipe in 1970 with the
audience in a coma.
Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and leroy smart
Delroy wilson, your cool operator
Ken boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
If they’ve got anything to say
There’s many black ears here to listen
But it was four tops all night with encores from stage righten (wooh, ooh, ooh)
Charging from the bass knives to the treble (wooh, ooh, ooh)
But onstage they ain’t got no roots rock rebel (wooh, ooh, ooh)
Onstage they ain’t got no roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
‘Cos it won’t get you anywhere
Fooling with the gun
The british army is waiting out there
An’ it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up robin hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in the UK
They won’t notice anyway
They’re all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got burton suits, huh, you think it’s funny
Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They’d send a limousine anyway
I’m the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I’m the white man in the palais
Just loo- lookin’ for fun
Only lookin’ for fun
Oh, please mister
Just leave me alone
I’m only
Lookin’ for fun
Lookin’ for fun
F, U, N
Mascis: “When I’m writing for the band. I’m always trying to think of doing things Lou and Murph would fit into. For myself, I’m thinking more about what I can do with just an acoustic guitar, even for the leads. Of course, this time, I added full drums and electric leads, although the rhythm parts are still all acoustic. Usually, I try to do the solo stuff more simply so I can play it by myself, but I really wanted to add the drums. Once that started, everything else just fell into place. So it ended up sounding a lot more like a band record. I dunno why I did that exactly, but it’s just what happened.”
Our kid, former Oasis frontman LIAM GALLAGHER and Stone Roses
guitarist JOHN SQUIRE teamed up to make new music together.
Can’t wait to hear it.
The superstar duo canned an album and will drop the first single,
titled JUST ANOTHER RAINBOW, on January 5 with “more new music
to follow as the year unfolds.”
Liam:“The melodies are mega! Best album since Revolver.”
And this is the artwork for the single. Pretty lame, if you ask me.
