Sad to read of the death of Robert Quine yesterday. Apparently heroin related but following struggle to come to terms with the death of his wife. I don't know much about his later work but the guitar playing on Richard Hell's "Blank Generation" has...

I saw Lloyd Cole yesterday evening at the Sheffield Memorial Hall (fantastic intimate venue by the way) and would recommend that all fans catch him where they can. This is a solo tour (just him and a guitar) and it showcases what a fantastic voice he...

Anyone else here, see it?What a character. I've loved his music for many years, but didn't realise how wild he was/is.He seems to have suffered a lot of misfortune (including having one of his lower legs amputated last year) but still seems to enjoy...

A couple of weeks ago I went to the library to check out their music collection. To my surprise they have a very big collection of artists which are not so well known, at least not in the Netherlands. I already had 2 cd's of DJ Shadow (endtroducing...
