Simon Perry: Schemes, dreams & trivia

I’ve been a fan of his for years, but now Weird Al Yankovic’s hit another high point with White and Nerdy. Brilliant track, lyrics, observation and a decent video.
As ever, it’s based on another track, this time Chamillionaire, Riding dirty.

I think it’s his best since Amish Paradise (which I see others are taking the […]

Attracted by the name, how could this now be My New Fave Rave after reading this?
Why make new music when everyday the industry discharges a discontinuous flow of spoiled idols and reanimated heroes? Re-using fragments from this huge musical garbage dump, it is possible to create new meanings and suddenly catch a glimpse of our […]

Some genius has come […]

Chas & Dave (mee-old mucker, cockney pop stars of the 80’s) have a tribute band.
Phil & Grants Rock N Roll Party who have not a signature chas & Dave bushy beard in site have also managed to sprout another member.
I hope their sound is closer to C&D (Which Chas & Dave might well have been […]

Holy Moly has covered some of the demands that Mariah Carey throws out as she trips around the global being in the media and tuning her fabulousness.
I heard the MTV section of their story last week, direct from a v. senior MTVer, but he provided more detail.
