This should be much better than it is. The Specials gotta be pissed. This performance on Later…with Jools Holland is not perserving their legacy. Did they not know that Maya can’t “sing”?

Did You Hear That? : Keane “Night Train ” Review

keane_night-train.jpg
You know, I could write a treatise on the horrors of the lowest common denominator, on the dreck that passes for music or art or thought, but instead, I think I’ll just offer up “Night Train,” the newest album from Keane (whom I’m tempted to call Keen, because that is what I did throughout my listen). Keane, a UK chart-topping and Grammy-nominated band has come through with an album that couldn’t be more mundane or less original, a fact seemingly realized with the lyrics of “Stop For a Minute,” in the crooned confession, “Sometimes I feel like it’s all been done.” (It has.) There is not one song on this album that says anything anew, or even well. It’s almost offensively banal. Which is why I was not surprised to hear that one of these songs was featured on a prime-time and highly-rated television show with the episode titled, “Shiny Happy People.” Indeed. Gather ‘round, all, they’re handing out the Soma.

New No Doubt – Stand and (don’t really) Deliver

YouTube Preview Image
In anticipation of the first new No Doubt material in about 5 years this track is really dull. This Cover of Adam Ant’s 1981′s “Stand and Deliver” sounds more like an outtake from the greatest hits sessions when the quartet recorded the Talk Talk cover “It’s My Life”. ND seems to have slowed down the tempo and removed all the intensity nee fun out of the original.

Be that as it may we still have high hopes for the new LP due out sometime between playdates.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
