INTERVIEW: Pennywise?s Fletcher Dragge
06:29 - 19-05-2012
Hermosa Beach, California punk rock pioneers Pennywise released their tenth studio album, All Or Nothing, on April 26 via Epitaph Records.

INTERVIEW: Rex Brown talks Vulgar Display
05:41 - 19-05-2012
It’s twenty years since Pantera released Vulgar Display Of Power. That’s the same as the span of time between the Beatles’ first world tour and Van Halen’s Jump. Or between Led Zeppelin IV and Pearl Jam’s Ten. It seems hard to believe now, where crunchy metal riffs are used in everything from kids’ movies to ...

INTERVIEW: Garbage?s Butch Vig
02:07 - 19-05-2012
When Garbage went into hiatus around 2006, nobody expected the band to be gone forever. It really did seem like more of a ‘recharge the creative batteries’ break than a ‘we hate each other and can’t stand to work together ever again’ thing. So when they announced their plans to return, it was not really ...

Enjoy Your Progress
16:59 - 18-05-2012
Musicians generally share the idea that they are never done; there is always one more piece, another technique, an alternate phrasing etc? These ideas coupled with the selfish nature of learning an instrument the tendency can be to focus on deficiencies instead of what we have accomplished. Why is this? I know that I am Enjoy Your Progress from Classical Guitar...

1978 BC Rich 10-string Bich
12:11 - 18-05-2012
guitarz.blogspot.com One of my favorite guitars ever is the 10-string Bich by BC Rich, with double four higher strings for rich harmonic sound and single lower ones for heavy riffs... Designed by Neal Moser in 1977, it's part of the early BC Rich models that were so cool and so good at proposing alternative designs after the 1960s creative boom waned and had left rock musicians with 4 or...

The Kinks at the Beep! ? BBC-optagelser m.m i en ny boks
12:06 - 18-05-2012
The Kinks er en af den beatgrupper fra tresserne, som bliver ved med at vokse i min anerkendelse. Jeg elskede dem i tresserne – og med årene er min respekt kun vokset for denne gruppe, der forenede beatens vildskab med poppens sødme, favnede på singlehitlisterne og de concept-album-formatet og indspillede sange – skrevet af Ray ...

Banjospilleren Doug Dillard er død, 75 år
11:35 - 18-05-2012
I går forlod Donna Summer denne verden. Forleden var det Donald Dunn. Og nu fortæller Billboard, at Doug Dillard – “banjokæmpen der krydsede genrer” – også er gået hinsides i en alder af 75 år efter længere tids sygdom.

Roskilde Festival countdown: The Beardy Durfs
09:00 - 18-05-2012
Danske The Beardy Durfs spiller støjrock! Det larmer og skramler, der er fuld knald på guitarpedalerne, instrumenter og udstyr er modificeret, ødelagt og genopbygget, det er rock ‘n’ roll så det basker. Det er 90′er sounds, det er Sonic Youth … Continue reading →...

Late 1980s Washburn SBT-21 piezo-powered Tele
22:56 - 17-05-2012
guitarz.blogspot.com: This Washburn SBT-21 is a Tele-style guitar with a pointy 1980s-style headstock and looks like it is a relation to the Washburn Tour 24 Tele. At first glance it would appear to be an electric guitar with no pickups, but the acoustic style bridge is a dead giveaway as to its true function - of course it has piezo pickups under the bridge saddle. I guess this was designed ...

Donna Summer er død, 63 år
17:10 - 17-05-2012
DR-nyheder meddeler lakonisk, at sangerinden Donna Summer – “dronningen af disco” – er død af en kræftsygdom, hvis alvor hun holdt skjult for venner, bekendte og ikke mindst medierne, medens hun arbejdede på et nyt album. Jeg havde ikke noget intimt forhold til discoen i halvfjerdserne, men Donna Summer gjorde alligevel et vist indtryk. Ikke ...

For 40 år siden: The Beach Boys som Carl and the Passions ?So Tough?
10:14 - 17-05-2012
For fyrre år siden udkom The Beach Boys’ attende album med titlen Carl and the Passions “So Tough”. Titlen, hvor Beach Boys optræder med et alter ego-navn, og omstændighederne, hvorunder pladen udkom – nemlig som bonusplade til en genudgivelse af klassikere Pet Sounds, fortæller noget om, at pladen var exceptionel. Forklaringen var, at The Beach ...

CD REVIEW: Storm Corrosion
07:03 - 17-05-2012
Porcupine Tree and Opeth are both bands with distinctive sounds – Pink Floydian prog rock on one side, and sprawling progressive death metal on the other. So you could be forgiven for expecting a collaboration between each band’s masterminds (Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt) to be a progressive death metal epic full of ...

Sawn-off Squier Strat is John Mayall tribute
00:54 - 17-05-2012
guitarz.blogspot.com: I guess that this sawn-off and relic-ed Squier Strat is one of those love it or hate it modifications. Compared with John Mayall's own modified Strats, the body surgery is actually quite conservative. This guitar is currently listed on eBay UK with a Buy It Now price of £295.

It includes the refined sound found in ...

For 30 år siden: Ebony and Ivory
17:10 - 16-05-2012
I disse dage, for 30 år siden, var det umuligt at undgå at høre ‘Ebony and Ivory’, den sang, beregnet for albummet Tug of War, som Paul McCartney endte med at indsynge sammen med Stevie Wonder.

Alabama Shakes ? ?Hold On?
13:32 - 16-05-2012
Jeg vil ikke belæmre læseren med for mange unødvendige analyser, perspektiveringer eller vurderinger af Alabama Shakes. Det kræver ikke et trænet øre at placere bandet genremæssigt – eller geografisk for den sags skyld (Altså ud over at de afslører deres oprindelse i deres bandavn). De fire medlemmer hedder: Brittany Howard, Hea...

Amerikansk singer-songwriter med franske tilbøjeligheder ? Hannah Cohen ? Child Bride
11:36 - 16-05-2012
For et par måneder siden blev jeg ganske indtaget af en video med den 25-årige Hannah Cohen. Både videoen og musikken til videoen "The Crying Game" var et studie i enkelhed og skønhed.
