Spiritualized

I'm ecstatic about the tracklisting - I love the fact that it's not just demos (i.e. rougher sounding versions of the final versions), but there are also broken down tracks, acapella versions, etc.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Darker With The Day (from No More Shall We Part)

Poptastic: La Roux - Bulletproof Beyonce - Single Ladies Kylie - Can't Get You Out Of My Head Nelly - Hot In Here Madonna - Borderline, Lucky Star, Holiday (plus many many more) Prince - Alphabet Street and tons more Take That - Never Forget, Back For Good Adam & The Ants - Stand & Deliver ...

are you kidding about girls aloud???? ok, my definition is, songs that have charted, they bands have to be talented in some way, PSB,s , yes , they did some superb pop in the 80s, girls aloud??? .....need shot, they offend me in every way possible I'm 100% serious. I just bought their singles box s...

i am not really questioning the gig itself, i'm questioning the legacy edition. Oh right, sorry - crossed wires. I can see what you mean about the legacy edition. Ladies & Gents is probably my favourite album of all time, and while I'll be fascinated to hear the demos, etc, and I can't wait to ...

mkb

I think it depends on how you define pop, it could include millions of songs.

I'd say the best pop song ever is Be My Baby by The Ronettes. More recently, Girls Aloud are an amazing singles group - my favourite of their is probably Biology.

The Pet Shop Boys are all kinds of tremendous as well.

hmmm. didn't jason reason that he'd never do a sp3 show again because it was rehashing the past? a quote using waterloo as an example i think. does this whole thing seem somewhat similar? not exactly of course. but i do think it is revisiting the past. Yes, but revisiting the past in a similar way ...

Ooooohhhh, Farrow have posted a picture of a black tray for Ladies & Gents - a teaser for the new packaging? Is it going to be all black like the gig advert on the homepage?

I'm as excited about the new artwork as I am about the alternate versions.

According to the site linked to below, Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In) was played - I'm assuming that they mean Life Is A Problem?

I'd prefer a live album to a DVD. Or if they are going to put out a DVD, they should follow the example of the Nick Cave Abattoir Blues Tour DVD, with two separate shows on two DVDs, and also two live CDs of different live material compiled from different dates of the tour. Ideally, one Acoustic Mai...

mkb

I hope they don't sell out too quickly, I'm gonna have to wait until payday before splashing out on this one.

mkb

I don't think he said anything too out of order - if he's asked about the making of Spacemen albums then the split is inevitably going to come up. It didn't seem like he was jumping on any chance to have a go at Sonic, just saying how he viewed events.

mkb

There's a good feature on Roky Erickson as well in the magazine.

mkb

I mean, even Jason has succumbed to the temptation!! And in doing so is in line for a decent pay day, and good for him. Trouble is, this nostalgia trip isn't taking us anywhere... I'm assuming by this you mean the Ladies & Gents shows? The thing about those is, while I can see that some people ...

'tender prey' is a good nick cave album to start with as far as his 80s stuff is concerned- that one's about as perfect all the way through as you can ask for. All of the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds albums are being remastered at the moment, and the first four albums have just been put out. I've ...

Has there been any udate as to what we can exect from the Legacy Edition?

Both bands can be found relatively close to each other in record stores.

100 points to mkb.

The Ballad of Richie Lee was recently used in Samantha Morton's 'The Unloved', which can be seen here (not sure if this only works in the UK): http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the- ... up#2917993

So says this article: http://strangeglue.com/news/atp-vs-fans-live-spiritualized/10004479 We managed to grab a few words with Pierce after the show while he was signing autographs. He told us he'd "probably be curating an ATP next year". It makes sense, with the Ladies and Gents shows bein...

Those two Optimo compilations in your last couple of posts eleKtroniK:musiK are great aren't they?

Especially Sleepwalk, I absolutely love some of those songs - Karen Dalton's 'Something On Your Mind' is a particular favourite.

Rated X is my favourite on Amazing Grace by far. I think that the main problem with the tracklisting is that the pace of the second half of the record (with the exception of Cheapster, which I think belongs earlier in the album anyway) almost grinds to a halt. I prefer the EP tracklisting where it k...

Has anyone else heard Checkmate Savage by The Phantom Band?

Sounds excellent so far, although that's only after one listen on the way to work.

that deep bass drum is a timpani Ian. wonderful sound. and i always thought the same thing about "let it Flow". brilliant track. I love the track, but I've never fell in love with the studio version. I was relatively late into Spiritualized (started with Ladies & Gents about 3 or 4 ye...

I don't blame the players. If a club is getting Â£20million a season in TV money, plus 50,000 fans a a fortnight paying x amount each per ticket, plus merchandise income and money from advertising and a million other places, then the players are entitled to their piece of the pie. After all, they're...

It was beautiful, they were fantastic. It was my first time seeing Spiritualized play an electric gig, and it didn't disappoint. Highlights were Shine a Light, Sitting On Fire, She Kissed Me, Lay Back In The Sun and the awesome ending of Come Together/Take Me To The Other Side. Absolutely incredible...

mkb

Thank you!!

As a side issue, when it says on the news page "Late Glasgow show added", does it mean that this show was a late addition to the tour, or that it will be a late show?

I thought Run was played on the Amazing Grace tour? I'm not sure though, I didn't see Spiritualized on that tour.

I know it sounds daft, but time difference is something that I'll never quite get used to. I work in Glasgow and have to deal with New York over the phone quite a bit, and it never ceases to impress me that when I start work it's only 4 in the morning (I think) over there.

that is a really interesting article. Very surprised to hear ladies and gents had time cut from it to make it 70 minutes! Can this be true?

What the fuck is going on with that radio promo?

This also makes me wonder if there's going to be another Grinderman album this year, seeing as they're playing and The Bad Seeds aren't. If there is another album, then Nick Cave is certainly becoming more prolific as he gets older, because that would be his 9th album so far this decade (if you incl...

I think it's blindingly obvious that this delay is strongly linked to Steve Fossett's disappearance.

That's if you can call somebody being murdered by the US military a disappearance.

On first listen, I wasn't bowled over by this album. The choruses (is that how it's spelt?) especially seemed boring, as if no effort had gone into them - "We're gonna have a real good time", "Everybody's comin' round to my place" and "Lie down here and be my girl". It ...
