The return of Everett True | 10. Lady Neptune
You need this. The video is mesmeric. The song is like everything else but then it keeps going and keeps going and before long you realise that it isn’t. Like everything else. Thing is, with this sort of lo-fi do-it-yourself scuzz rock it’s often better to have no budget at all than unlimited resources. (I’m projecting […]
SOTD #685 – Chimney Crow
I’d been plotting to write something for these guys – been hooked for months – but the ordinary hype-mode sounded stale (especially since you-know-who has been pussyfooting around with it lately). Then this idea struck me. Inspiration was drawn from this video. (Yes, I know. A full-blown album review is due. No worries. It’s a-comin’. […]
The return of Everett True | 9. Beverley Kills
So yesterday’s choice was unpopular, then; or more accurately, widely ignored. No matter. I have but to flex my arms and surely a whole array of feathers will come cascading down. Sooner or later. Perhaps people prefer it when I remain silent. No matter. This is a cover of a song I don’t particularly like, […]
The return of Everett True | 8. Makthaverskan
All music reminds me of the past. How can it not? The comments underneath this clip of music mention variously The Cure, Nirvana, The Cranberries, punk, post-punk, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, jangle pop… and I will throw in a guess at them being Scandinavian, probably with a couple of boy members. This goes to […]
The return of Everett True | 7. Frankie Cosmos
Peter [COLLAPSE BOARD] Contact Us Hi Everett: I was the tour booker for the Lovely Eggs in Germany. They introduced me to your great work. I´d like to introduce you to Frankie Cosmos from New York, who also calles herself Ingrid Superstar. She is 18 years old and already released DOZENS of homemade albums on […]
That whole “music used to sound better when I was younger” theory
Here it is in a nutshell (or some similar badly used metaphor). 2013 was an amazing year for music, possibly the greatest yet. I was listening to so much and writing about so much and… well, wow. It was incredible. 2014, on the other hand, is such a rubbish year for music… now that I’m […]
The return of Everett True | 6. Nirvana ft. Kim Gordon
Lorde supplied one of the performances of the night for me. The other is this, perhaps not so surprisingly. It was always a glorious live song. Kim’s dancing and singing and enthusiasm is intoxicating. It’s totally unprofessional the way she slips over like Robert Pollard, but this lack of professionalism is why it’s such an enthralling, […]
The return of Everett True | 5. Nirvana ft. Lorde
Please, no more words. Just incredible. Ah, never mind. Maybe it might be interesting to reproduce some of the commentary on Facebook around a link to this post. Many people seem to take issue with my taste here. Everett True Steve Gullick, you heard this? 8 hrs · Like Steve Five “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?” – […]
Song of the Day #682 – Chorusgirl
Alone, alone, alone. Every day, when I’m walking down the street to downtown, or down the campus, I see them everywhere – the girls with the hose, the flimsy skirts, the shades and the vacant looks, laughing at their own idiocy, not feeling or seeing anything outside of their own little bubble (or cell phone) […]
The return of Everett True | 4. Babymetal, of course
the ladies’ image and demeanour (as cute pop puppets) feeds into the conventional Japanese view of women as passive, adornments
