I have hated the Queens for the last 10 years, now all the sudden they have released one of my top 5 albums this year :-)
Could Pearl Jam be next? :cringe:

Nice covermount CD with this month's Mojo: a Sub Pop Silver Jubilee special curated by Jonathan Poneman. The Gutter Twins' God's Children features. There's also a beautiful feature on In Utero and the band in general from Keith Cameron, plus a huge interview with Kurt from Jon Savage.

According to Belgian newspaper (hln.be) it's a hoax. So he's alive and well !

wow that's not something to joke about. I think he is really gone. I'm sorry, now they say he passed away on Belgian media. I never checked this artist, but it seems he really made some good music. I didn't know he was the original writer of Cocaine. The original is better then Clapton's imo. Most of the time, the originals are better then covers, except for Lanegan rip JJ

Don't be sorry Haha yes Mark Lanegan is one of those few persons who can sing a cover like it's his own. Yeah you really should check JJ Cale out! I love his music, he's unique and created his own sound, I'm in love with this sound. I'm glad he left us with a lot of music

The Sparklehorse Tribute album will be accompanied by a fan-sourced documentary featuring friends, peers and someone from Channel 5. Promises to be a cheery affair. vimeo.com/54814832

To say that NIRVANA's third and ultimately final studio album "In Utero" was 1993's most polarizing record would be the understatement of a decade. The unadorned sonic rawness of Steve Albini's recording laid bare every primal nuance of the most confrontational yet vulnerable material Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl would ever record. And with its 1991 predecessor, "Nevermind", having sold some 30 million copies, singlehandedly returning honest rock 'n' roll to the top of the pop charts, "In Utero" was essentially the first record NIRVANA would make with any expectations from the public. So from the opening quasi-shamble melodics of "Serve The Servants" through the bittersweet closing strains of "All Apologies", "In Utero" was the sound of the most incredible yet conflicted rock 'n' roll band of the era at the peak of its powers coming to terms with a generational spokes-band mantle they'd never seen coming-and ultimately surmounting these struggles to make the record they needed to make. As Rolling Stone's David Fricke said in his review at the time, "'In Utero' is a lot of things-brilliant, corrosive, enraged and thoughtful, most of them all at once. But more than anything, it's a triumph of the will."
Universal Music Enterprises will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the unwitting swansong of the single most influential artist of the 1990s with a multi-format release that spreads more than 70 remastered, remixed, rare, unreleased and live recordings over configurations ranging from a 3-CD/1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition to a standard digital/CD remaster of the original album. Material exclusive to the various versions of the "In Utero 20th Anniversary" reissue will include a veritable treasure trove of never-before-heard demos, B-sides, compilation tracks, and live material featuring the final touring lineup of Cobain, Novoselic, Grohl, and Pat Smear... including the long-awaited release of the complete "Live And Loud" show from Seattle's Pier 48 on December 13, 1993. Additionally, a standalone single-disc DVD of the complete "Live And Loud" show along with several never-before-released bonus performances will also be released on September 24.
With the exception of "You Know You're Right", a previously unreleased cut that appeared on the box set "With The Lights Out", "Nevermind" producer Butch Vig told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that he didn't think there was much music left in the NIRVANA vaults. "It's a shame that there's — you know, that's like the last maybe great track," he said. "There's still a few raw things I know that haven't come out yet. But there's not a lot of stuff left out there that's as good as that."

It's certainly something I'd be interested to dig into - I struggled with In Utero when it came out, and it became almost unbearable to listen to in the aftermath of Kurt's suicide. But christ it's pricey. Direct from the label here, the 3CD/1DVD set is £80, and Amazon here have seen fit to park an additional £30 on top of that price for no explainable reason.Ah well, I'll start saving now for the slightly larger set in 5 years' time. Or the one 5 years after that. etc. EDIT: Amazon have now dropped their price to a mere £68.10

Promises to be a cheery affair. vimeo.com/54814832I'm kinda excited about this. I like Sparklehorse very much and Mark Linkous was an intriguing man ... tragic though A Dutch TV station (VPRO) made a documentary about him back in 1998 called Southern Man: Sparklehorse Southern Man: Sparklehorse

Flaming Lips to spearhead Stone Roses Debut album remake... EDIT: Turn your bloody phone the right way round! Argh. It's finished, it's out next week (ish). 500 copies only, distributed seemingly without actual distribution as it's not being released on a label (!) to various independent record stores, will probably be loved and hated in equal measure and certainly looks lovely.

New, "secret" (that they've been plugging everywhere for a week) Arcade Fire single goes on sale in select UK stores in about 20 minutes who have opened specially, and at 9pm again throughout the US & Canada.
It's a 12" single with two tracks, side 2 is a vocal-less version of side 1. David Bowie provides "brief backing vocals" (his words. It costs £16.99. For a record with the same tune on both sides. At least the Pixies provided 4 tracks for their £14 last week (although 3 of them were dreadful)...
EDIT: 18 minutes on, and there's 3 on eBay, £30+ a pop...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (or wherever the punctuation goes) win a music prize, have a pop at the ceremony, give the money away, apologise. Good for them.
