Especially for Fred…
Especially for Fred… (and other interested parties), it’s the Guardian’s amusing review of the new Madonna album.
Radiohead: Kid A: Pitchfork Review
Radiohead: Kid A: Pitchfork Review: You might like the album. But you won’t like this. Has Brent DiCrescenzo never heard an art-rock record before? Good to see it’s not just Freaky Trigger playing pre-release link slut, though.
Spinning records
Spinning records: frothy Salon piece on Bush and Gore’s use of pop music in their campaigns, included mostly because it’s the first substantial music article Salon have run all week, and it’s in the Politics section! Salon’s Arts And Entertainment site, formerly the home of some pretty good music writing and a steady supply of record reviews, seems to have had its pop coverage axed by stealth. The last music piece I can remember before this was the dire report on Kindercore’s Expo 2000, and it seems like weeks since a meaty review. Light film and TV pieces, meanwhile, dominate. A shame.
We know what you played this summer
We know what you played this summer: assorted pop stars and other musical bods pick their favourite tunes (and choons) of the Summer. Daphne And Celeste have the best taste.
