Comments on this: just one. Add your own. May brings not only flowers but the first batch of spring pop culture. It starts slowly, some new films, some tight releases and then before you know it you have a big giant summer season on your hands. The Cocteau Twins are not reuniting after all. The band recently scrapped its reunion appearance at this year's Coachella Festival as well as their planned subsequent reunion tour planned for later in the autumn. I guess they do really hate each other after all.  A collection of writings, interviews and general musings from Tom Waits has been compiled for a new anthology, Innocent When You Dream: The Tom Waits Reader. Fannypack has recruited several MCs, including dancehall icon Mr. Vegas, for their new record, See You Next Tuesday. That walking freak Courtney Love is contributing a cover of Judy Garland's "Love, Love, Love" to the soundtrack of Adam & Steve. This month sees a batch of expanded reissues from The Cure. Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography have been cleaned up and expanded with a second disc of live tracks, rarities and demo recordings. Categorized as: Columns

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own. Although has been a zany winter season with weird weather, there is a reason to be optimistic. That is because there are mass quantities of new releases out there and even more touring by young bands on the make. If you want to hear new sounds support Indie radio and especially Internet radio. These are both great ways around the drek of commercial radio. Having said that…. It is the Easter season and musical resurrection abounds… Kate Bush, who has not made an album for like a thousand years, has nearly completed work on her new album, which should come out in the latter part of this year. And features string arrangements from composer Michael Kamen. Portishead have nearly completed their first album of new material in almost eight years. The band came out of seclusion last month and joined Massive Attack, The Coral and Robert Plant for an Oxfam Tsunami Relief show. It seems like bands are reforming all over the place over the coming months… The Happy Mondays and The Farm recently reformed for a short UK tour. Categorized as: Columns
