Pennsylvania‘s legendary big shot TODD RUNGREN,
aged 77, had a remarkable career, which is far from
over.
His latest LP, called Space Force already dates from 2022,
but the musical centipede is unstoppable on the road (as I
witnessed last year in Brussels, formidable show).
For Los Angeles grunge rock shedevils L7 (1985–2001, 2014–present)
it will be their farewell tour.
Frontwoman Donita Sparks told Pitchfork: “When L7 decided to release a documentary
in 2015, we thought maybe we would take one last victory lap around the sun by playing some shows. Instead, that lap turned into eleven more years of touring, sweat, new music, and reconnecting with the fans. We are deeply grateful and ready to give our audiences one last, loud, fun, and hopefully unforgettable night of rock & roll.”
In order to not miss a beat TURN UP THE VOLUME scans the musical
horizon daily, for 10 years now, to pick ace tracks and add 5 new ones
twice per week, to the one and only JUKEBOX playlist that matters.
ALL TOGETHER
The 5 fresh ones TRACK BY TRACK
Band: THE HIVES Who: Notorious Swedish
punk dropouts.
Steve Kilbey (frontman): “Bleak and yet beautiful. It is unlike any previous Church song
ever with its almost orchestral climaxes and its sombre mood. The lyrics and voice are the weariness at the point where hope and hopelessness merge. The music is by turns delicate
and sparse turning into a churning monstrous racket. Intense, forlorn and exultant!”
Entrancing.
Enthralling.
Enchanting.

Artist: WRECKLESS ERIC Who: 70s English punk veteran (now 71)
who never stopped being active.
Former talking heads chief DAVID BYRNE and Paramore‘s voice/face HAYLEY WILLIAMS are mutual fans, working together now and then,
and covering each other’s songs.
Busy bee Byrne wrote several songs for a new animated musical
adaptation of Roald Dahl’sThe Twitts. It premieres on Oct 17th.
One of the songs is a duet with, yes, you already guessed, Williams.
It’s named OPEN THE DOOR. It’s a jaunty and frolicsome pop tune.
Perfect for a snoozy Sunday.
