Artist: JANE INC.
Who: Toronto-based
songstress.

Track: WHAT IF
Piece from her upcoming 3rd full-length, called
A Rupture A Canyon A Birth, out October 17th.

The song is inspired by the moment that a semi truck plowed into their broken-down tour van. Nobody in the Jane Inc. touring party was hurt in that accident, and they even played their scheduled show later that night. But everyone could’ve easily been killed, and that kind of near-death experience will do something to you. That’s the key to what if.

TUTV: Bumping EBM thrumming, shimmering synths, trippy piano touches,
and vocal outpouring. Donna Summer would like this stomper. Dress up
and hurry to the discotheque.

Australian post-punk act.

Track: RESTLESS
Cut from their forthcoming debut album, named

BLACK SABBATH Released Their 6th LP ‘SABOTAGE’ 50 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

28 July 2025

For the past few weeks metal pioneers BLACK SABBATH dominated the (rock) news.
On July 5th, Ozzy and the band played their final concert. A massive event baptized
‘Back To The Beginning’ featuring an incredible cast of famous hard-rocking guests.

Then last week the surprising and shocking news of Ozzy‘s passing
came in. Whether you’re a metal/Black Sabbath fan or not, you should
have at least heard of a madman, named Ozzy. He was 76.

And today it’s the 50th anniversary day of their 6th LP SABOTAGE.
The longplayer was released on 28 July 1975, today 50 years ago.

Geezer Butler (bassist) about the album’s title: “Around the time of Sabbath Bloody
Sabbath, we found out that we were being ripped off by our management and our record company. So, much of the time, when we weren’t onstage or in the studio, we were in
lawyer’s offices trying to get out of all our contracts.

We were literally in the studio, trying to record, and we’d be signing all these affidavits
and everything. That’s why it’s called Sabotage – because we felt that the whole process
was just being totally sabotaged by all these people ripping us off.”

Sabotage‘s front cover got mixed reactions over the years. By some it’s regarded
as one of the worst album covers in rock history. The inverted mirror concept was
conceived by Graham Wright, Bill Ward‘s drum tech, who was also a graphic artist.

The band attended what they believed was a test photo shoot
for the album cover, thus explaining their choice of clothing.

Rolling Stone Magazine: “Sabotage is not only Black Sabbath’s
best record since Paranoid, it might be their best ever.”

The album peaked at #7 in the UK and #28 in the US.

BEASTIE BOYS – Ace 4th LP ‘ILL COMMUNICATION’ Released 30 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Back in time

31 May 2024

30 years ago today, on 31st May 1994, far-out hip-rap-hop-rock mavericks
BEASTIE BOYS released their 4th scream & shout LP ILL COMMUNICATION.
An artistic and commercial success, hitting the top spot of the US Albums Chart.

Rolling Stone wrote: “Ill Communication continues the formula established on ‘Check’ — home-grown jams powered by live instruments; speedy hardcore rants; and insane rhyme
styles buried under the warm hiss of vintage analog studio equipment. ‘Ill’ maintains the Beasties’ consistency of style, but underneath its goofy, dope-smokin’ antics lies — gasp! —
an artistic maturity that reveals how the Boys have grown since they began as pimply New
York punks making anarchic noise.’

A salute to the late great bassist Adam Yauch aka MCA(1964-2012).

BEASTIE BOYS Released Fulminating ‘SABOTAGE’ Single 25 Years Ago Today…

Posted on by JL

When timeless in sound and vision it’s a…

28 January 2019

SABOTAGE is definitely one of the best BEASTIE BOYS slams ever. A scathing rapcore
blast with Adam ‘Ad-Rock’ Horovitz‘s screaming hysterically ‘Oh my god, it’s a mirage I’m tellin’ y’all, it’s sabotage‘ over a rock injected rap blow-up. It was released 25 years ago today, on 28 January 1994 as the first single from their fourth longplayer ILL COMMUNICATION. Funny thing is Ad-Rock revealed afterward that “ the track was recorded as an instrumental, and the vocals weren’t added until two weeks before the record was completed. It was the last song on ‘Ill Communication’ to be finished.” The hilarious accompanying video was directed by Spike Jonze. A parody of the 70s American macho TV crime series.

Start yellin’ and shoutin’ right here…
