Paul McCartney - here there and everywhere live back in the us, 2002

"The broad arena-rock of expert nonentities robs the Beatle songs that jam this tour merch of all quirk and precision. Yet the Beatle songs still dwarf the proofs of his solo existence, which get lamer as he gets older. Either way his relentless smiley smile cloys on contact. And when he whips up some now-the-fellas now-the-ladies on "Hey Jude," it is to cringe with dismay at the survival of a generation."

Dumbo Gets Mad - makes you fly, 2019

"After four years of hiatus, Dumbo Gets Mad released a new single “Makes You Fly” with the French label “Nice Guys” in 2019 as a preview of a new full-length album. “Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up” came out in February 2021 and confirmed the psychedelic nature of the project. In early 2020 Dumbo Gets Mad started a North American tour but had to stop it due to the pandemic."

Sambassadeur - one last remark, 2005

"Sambassadeur are a Swedish pop band formed in 2003 in Gothenburg. They are named after the Serge Gainsbourg song "Les Sambassadeurs." The band are signed to the Labrador label, and to date, they have released four studio albums and a handful of EPs and singles."

Fait-divers on procrastination

Procrastination is the antidepressant that gives you panic attacks.

The New Pornographers - clockwise, 2017

"Calling the New Pornographers' music smart pop almost underestimates the group; there's smart, and then there's these folks, whose cleverness suggests their tunes got their undergrad degree at Yale and did their master's at Harvard. But A.C. Newman and his crew also have a keen understanding of the mind/body conundrum -- they want their music to be as intelligent as they are, but they also want it to feel good."

Neil Young - southern pacific live a treasure, 2011

"I hadn't heard these takes in 25 years, but when we unearthed them co-producer Ben Keith said, 'This is a treasure.'"

Paul McCartney - band on the run live back in the us, 2002

"If anything, he's playing for the crowd even more than usual, filling out the set list with sentimental favorites, including a version of "Something" as a tribute to the recently departed George Harrison."

Neil Young - light a candle, 2009

"This blend of dreamy thoughts of yesteryear, spitting fury over the present, and planning for the future gives Fork in the Road a bit of a kick that propels it through a few songs that aren't much more than a garage groove, but the whole thing benefits from its messiness; the loose ends make it feel alive."

Club 8 - the sand and the sea, 2001

"The Sand and the Sea" is a super brief instrumental interlude at just 36 seconds long. It slips by in a blink, like a fleeting wave, fitting perfectly into the album's flow as a palate cleanser between "She Lives by the Water" and "Falling From Grace."

Meltt - in your arms, 2025

"Meltt – a mind-bending alternative-rock band with a love for heavy riffs, colourful instrumentation, detail oriented production, and under it all, multi-layered song-writing. Let them sonically paint your soundscape and sweep you into an ethereal dream."

Paul McCartney - for no one, 1984

"Give My Regards To Broad Street is the soundtrack album to the feature film of the same name, released in 1984 and based on a script written by Paul himself. The plot centres on a chaotic day in Paul’s life following the disappearance of the master tapes for a new album. The majority of the story is told through dream sequences, with each dream soundtracked by re-recorded versions of classic tracks from Paul’s Beatle and post-Beatle careers. The album was preceded by a new composition, ‘No More Lonely Nights’, a global smash that was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for Best Original Song. Once again, the soundtrack peaked at Number 1 in the UK and was certified platinum for sales of over 300,000 copies."

Neil Young - like a hurricane live weld, 1991

"Weld (1991) is a live album with Crazy Horse that was recorded on the 1991 tour following the release of Ragged Glory. Several songs from that album are featured, plus Young favorites such as “Powderfinger”, “Cinnamon Girl”, “Tonight’s The Night”, “Like A Hurricane”. It also includes a memorable cover of Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind".

Ride - vapour trail, 1990

"Vapour Trail" is a song by British shoegaze band Ride. It is the closing track of the band's debut album, Nowhere (1990), released on Creation Records, and was later released as a single in the United States in early 1991. Written by lead guitarist Andy Bell (but credited to the whole band), the song features a distinctive swirling guitar riff, a strong, fill-based drum beat, and a coda that includes a string quartet."

Suede - broken music for broken people, 2025

“Broken music” is the closest thing to a classic Suede song as this album gets but it is bigger and more epic, every rimshot, every guitar lick, every hip shake dialled up to eleven. It is an anthem, a call to arms, celebrating the broken people, rather than looking down on them. And it’s not singling anyone out. We are all broken people in our own sense, with our own histories, but we are shined on in a positive light. We are all in this together."

Wedgy - i can't address it, 2025

"On the surface, I Can’t Address It is a combination of shoegaze and grunge, and these elements are quite clear. They’re there, but there’s much more bubbling beneath."

Paul McCartney - here there and everywhere live unplugged the official bootleg, 1991

"It was the very first time Paul had ever performed the song live (not even The Beatles played it in concert)."

The New Pornographers - high ticket attractions, 2017

"It's filled with hooks linked in the most straightforward way possible. The drum beat just drives through with minimal transitions, the vocals are fast and dance around harmonies. Just enough guitar, just enough synths."

The Beach Boys - california dreamin cover, 1986

"The Beach Boys' 1986 version of “California Dreamin’” is a seriously underrated gem. They took a folk-pop standard and gave it that warm, polished, late-period Beach Boys treatment, with richer production, those impeccable harmonies, and a slightly rockier edge that suits the mid-80s vibe. Carl Wilson’s lead vocal is especially soulful; he was in great voice during that era, and you can hear the emotional weight he brings to lines like “All the leaves are brown…”. Al Jardine complements him perfectly, and having Roger McGuinn reprise his signature 12-string Rickenbacker sound was a brilliant touch. It ties the song back to the jangly Byrds-influenced sound of the original era while still feeling fresh. It was recorded for Mike Love’s side project but ended up credited to The Beach Boys, and released during a period when they were having a bit of a commercial resurgence (thanks in part to “Kokomo” a couple years later). Though it only reached #57 on the Billboard Hot 100, it’s aged really well and holds up as one of their stronger covers in their catalog. Fun fact: the music video even featured McGuinn, John Phillips, and Michelle Phillips, which gave it a nice passing-of-the-torch feel between the two iconic California acts.Definitely a version that deserves more love. Great song, great voices, great arrangement."
