Dream Of The Nineties

Posted on 13/03/2013 by

I’ve been listening to Sleater-Kinney’s albums for well over a decade, but I can’t say I ever imagined that the band’s singer/guitarist, Carrie Brownstein, would transition into sketch comedy… not that S-K were all super-serious and downbeat or anything… but … Continue reading →

“Shut Your Mouth, It’s Art Crawl!”

Posted on 03/03/2013 by

I am an idiot… of that there can be no doubt. To date there have been three seasons of Bob’s Burgers produced, at least one of which was broadcast over here in Britland on E4… and yet, despite having a … Continue reading →

The Robinson Sisters

Posted on 10/06/2012 by

As ever, I’m loathe to link to the accursed Daily Mail website (boo!), but they do have a rather good (if slightly short and random) interview with Morgana Robinson up at the moment. Of primary interest to this blog, are … Continue reading →

You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll

Posted on 26/05/2012 by

I was pretty much sold on The Rocker (2008) as soon as I saw the DVD cover, with a long-haired Rainn Wilson giving me a double devil-horn salute… but the back cover blurb gave me pause. To wit: “Twenty years … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Stevie Ryan

Posted on 03/05/2012 by

Just when I thought my Stevie-fever had peaked, I discover that she once recorded a comedy video in full Goth get-up! Swoon! I couldn’t really dig up any details about the song “Goth Blocked”, but it’s credited to Adam Paranoia … Continue reading →

Folk You

Posted on 26/04/2012 by

The other major find I found while scrounging around the charity shops last week was the first season of Flight of the Conchords for just three pounds! Bonza! Having already given the lie to the notion that the second season … Continue reading →

Snooki’s Lament

Posted on 31/03/2012 by

On a random nostalgia kick I gave Daphne & Celeste a quick Google this morning, and felt a weird sense of pride when I saw how high this blog ranked in the search results… then I felt a stab of … Continue reading →

Are You Listening?

Posted on 19/02/2012 by

This week sees the release of Reign of Terror, the second album by Brooklyn-based “noise pop” duo Sleigh Bells… although I’ve only just started listening to their 2010 debut release, Treats! I “discovered” this band the same way I discovered … Continue reading →

“Shut The F*ck Up, Lita!”

Posted on 09/02/2012 by

I was a pretty big Lita Ford fan back in the day (I still have a couple of her albums on vinyl, and I listen to the digital versions regularly, because they rock!), but I’ve never been the sort of “fan” who … Continue reading →
