Saint Etienne - Finisterre | Drowned In Sound
"So what does the new album sound like?
"Tidal waves. A glider darting through clouds high above the Azores. The girl with the cream smile and sky eyes whispering in your ear. Being lost in a frosty, fog-bound maze. Sports cars crashing."
I've written about Saint Etienne's film Finisterre before, but the album is a long-term favourite of mine, too.

Sketch #09 | Music For Shuffle
"In that little sketch, you can hear the low-res bits drifting in and out from time to time, the higher frequencies burbling away like little insects. It’s fascinating to explore the timbre of audio compression directly, as a material, as opposed to listening to beardy musos bleating about it as a loss of quality."

Jodorowsky’s Dune And The Greatest Films Never Made | The Quietus
On Alejandro Jodorowsky's ill-fated attempt to film Dune, including a look back at his career both before and afterwards. Full of moments of utter insanity, such as: "Dalí then insisted that he be paid $100,000 an hour to sit on [the throne]. He also deemed it essential that we see the Emperor defecating and micturating in the film — but a body double would have to do that for him." They don't make them like that any more. (Well, they didn't then either, to be fair...)

Romney and Gingrich Pull Songs After Complaints | NYTimes.com
‘"Strike another two songs from the Republican playlist: “Eye of the Tiger,” by Survivor, and “Wavin’ Flag,” by the Somali-born musician K’naan. “When you think about every iconic song that has emotional resonance for millions and millions of Americans, in almost every instance, Republican candidates can’t use the song because the artist is not supportive,” said Steve Schmidt.’

Why Suzanne Vega is Re-Recording Her History | WSJ
"I don’t own those other recordings. I don’t own the masters. Those are owned by A&M Records and Blue Note, and I’m not with them anymore. I wanted to own a physical copy of my own back catalog. In this economy it’s important to own what you make. If I tour for the next 20 years I have recordings I can sell at concerts and people can buy them directly."

Selling In The Name Of | FreakyTrigger
"The X-Factor is a narrative which happens to involve music. It’s an interactive narrative, and it’s a multimedia narrative, with a central thread (the weekend shows) crossing over into magazines, newspapers, YouTube, Twitter backchannels, et al." I suspect this is part of the reason it upsets people: it feels inescapable. "the whole thing comes down to a clash of stories, or rather a clash of people paying to be part of a story. The big difference is that what’s at stake – “getting to #1″ – doesn’t really matter in the Joe McElderry narrative (where the single is a reminder of a story that’s already had its happy ending) but is the entire point of the Rage one"

Warren Ellis: "Buried in the OMM's web presence, once a month, is a multimedia presentation by Morley. Not just a music column, but video of the interviews he conducted in support of the month's subject or theme, music files, filmed performances, and, most unsettlingly, a Flash file that places an immense screen-filling Morley as rambling disco ringmaster."

Will the indie chart rise again? | The Guardian
Bob Stanley on the birth, slow death, and relaunch of the indie chart. 'McNay pinpoints the death of the indie chart to the moment in the early 90s when "the multinationals started boutique labels with independent distribution, meaning they hogged the indie chart. It was all hunky-dory for 10 years, the only chart that mattered for many people, and then the majors hijacked it'

"There was an implicit value judgement in Greenfield's talk between the "purely sensory experiences" of raves or today's computer games, and the cognitive activities of reading a book or listening to a symphony, which, because they make us "see one thing in terms of another thing", involve a more mature mental engagement" Indeed. Interesting to note Greenfield didn't have a column in Wired UK this month.
