Speaking of Suede, Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler are talking again, and working on a new album together. Out in the spring, apparently.
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Under teh name The Tears, IIRC. Much as I loved Elastica, Echobelly beat them in terms of foxy androgyne singers:
Blur are perhaps the most girlfriend-influenced band in rock; not only did Justine introduced Damon to the Kinks and Martin Amis (and if Parklife-era blur isn't the Kinks+Martin Amis then what is it?) but their shift towards us-style indie happened when graham started dating one of Huggy Bear.
Justine Frischman (SP?) hot. That is all.
Seconded.
I have the self-titled Elastica CD. It's fun.
Michele!! That's awesome. I can't believed I missed him doing Francoise, darn me and my non-going out ways. Maybe I'll catch him later this year.
Anyone get any new CDs recently on the exchange? friendly reminder to get any you have in the mail by this weekend if you can.
Justine Frischman (SP?) hot. That is all.
Two Ns on Frischmann.

Yum!
DIY Convention: [link]
The major labels are increasingly acknowledging the value of the entrepreneurial spirit -- witness Warner Music Group's recently inaugurated "incubator" entities and Universal Music Group's new indie distributor Fontana.
That spirit is the bread and butter of the DIY Convention
So their bread and butter is fake indies? Great....
Hollywood is so DIY.
I'm very chuffed about this contact, and pending review:
Hello there
I'm writing a feature on Lost In The Grooves for The Times in London and would dearly like to make contact with Kim Cooper and/or David Smay. I love the book...
Nice, David! Does the book have UK distribution?
