Entry #14 – This is Hardcore (a.k.a Fame’s A Bitch part 1)

Say what you like about the Britpop phenomenon during the 1990s, but there is one simple fact about it that you cannot escape. It made and broke its stars, and it more than made sure it took them with it during its rough death. Think about where everyone started; young, eager to break through intoContinue reading “Entry #14 – This is Hardcore (a.k.a Fame’s A Bitch part 1)”

Entry #13 – Sampling Soundtracks I: Ridge Racer Type 4 (a.k.a Hey! It’s a new record!)

One is from an artist I’ve long been an admirer of, and the other I onceContinue reading “Entry #11 – Brand New Start & The Roller (a.k.a Two for the price of one)”

Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)

If you’re just joining us you may want to read the previous entry where we delved into the first part of this double album from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Ok and now that you have done that here we are on disc two of Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus. So far so good,Continue reading “Entry #10 – The Lyre of Orpheus (a.k.a: The One with the song used in Harry Potter)”
