R.I.P. The Replacements

15/06/07 at 11.49am   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

20150416_213905If you’re a Mats fan, what took place over the last three plus years was only supposed to happen in you’re wildest imagination.  The 2012 benefit EP Songs For Slim for sick guitarist Slim Dunlap, reuniting for the three Riot Fest dates in 2013, the disinterested Coachella appearance in 2014, and finally, the Back By Unpopular Demand Tour in 2015.

Sadly, The Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg told the Primavera Porto on Friday that the Primavera Sound Festival date would be their final show ever (allegedly).  He also added they blew off their sound check, calling the band “lazy bastards to the end.”  It should come as no surprise, since Mr. Westerberg was doing his best Riddler act by wearing a different t-shirt each night of the tour with a spray painted letter on it.  In the end, fans with much more time on their hands, were able to figure out his message, “I have always loved you. Now I must whore out my past.”

IMG_4841According to numerous reports, you can put an end to those silly rumors about the band planning to release a new album.  However, the new tune “Whole Food Blues” surfaced in recent shows.

I feel bad for my friends back in Pittsburgh who had their Mats show at the AE Stage postponed, now officially cancelled.

Folks, that was fun while it lasted, albeit sloppy at best.

Enjoy my vid “I’ll Be You” from Coachella 2014

Unknown-Mortal-Orchestra1Each week I post the Top 20 College Radio Albums courtesy of CMJ (College Media Journal).  Below are also 5 discs that I have in heavy rotation and an album that amazingly turns 10 years old in 2015, I call it my Spicy 6.

Alabama Shakes remain at #1 on the College Radio Album Chart for a fourth straight week.  Very little change within the Top 20 as the only new entry is the latest release from Thee Oh Sees.  The biggest mover within the Top 20 is from Unknown Mortal Orchestra (pictured) who jumps thirteen spots to #6.

The sophomore effort from Lord Huron is still my #1 compact disc.  The debut album Apologies To The Queen Mary from the Canadian indie rock band Wolf Parade turns 10 years old in September.  The single “Shine A Light” is a great tune!

Spector Planning New Album,

Share Video For “Bad Boyfriend”

15/06/04 at 1.08pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Spector bandLondon based indie rockers Spector, recently confirmed plans to release the much-anticipated follow-up to their 2012 debut Enjoy It While It Lasts.

Frontman Fred Macpherson recently told NME “I don’t think we ever necessarily thought there would be a second album,” but went on to say, “‘All The Sad Young Men’ is one of the tracks that took us the longest to get right because of how much it meant to us. I’m pretty sure it’s the best song we’ve written, and its honesty plays a big part in that.” 

Spector frontman Fred Macpherson and blogger DJ Deep take time from their busy 2012 Coachella schedule to pose for a photograph.

The UK band is best known for their Reflection Day anthem “Never Fade Away.”  Last week the quartet shared a video for their latest single “Bad Boyfriend.”  In the likely event Spector isn’t on your new music radar… this now makes three singles released since last December, all of which are supposed to be included of the forthcoming album.  There’s no date at this time for the album’s release, but you can rest assured, I’ll keep you posted.

Enjoy the videos for all three new singles from Spector below:

Spoon To Perform At Birthday Bash Tonight!

15/06/02 at 6.00am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Happy Birthday 2Allow me to be the first to wish myself a Happy Birthday.  Today this blog turns 2 years old.  Over the last year, I’ve continued my commitment to the Coachella Music Festival, indie music on late night television, relevant new indie releases, and keeping tabs on the weekly College Radio Album Chart.

Who knows where this blog is going, or why I even continue with it in the first place, but it still remains fun, and that’s all that really matters.

To celebrate the blog turning 2, I’ve arranged for a birthday bash tonight at the North Park Theatre in downtown San Diego.   Austin, Texas indie stalwarts Spoon have agreed to provide the entertainment tonight.

Spoon imageFestivities will commence around 6pm with some IPA’s and Burgers at a yet to be announced watering hole.  The North Park Theatre will open their doors at 7pm, with fellow Austin band Sweet Spirit scheduled to take the stage at 8pm, in support of the main event, Spoon.

Amazingly, tickets still remain for the band’s second of two nights in San Diego.

Spoon is scheduled to perform on Conan O’Brien on Wednesday night.

Here’s a few notable fun facts from year two of the blog:
* 2014 Album Of The Year = Spoon They Want My Soul
* 2014 Track Of The Year = Bear In Heaven “Time Between”
* Best Performance at 2015 Coachella = Jack White
* 286 total posts
* 286 total posts by me
* 6 references made to alt-country

Here’s a couple of Spoon videos:

R.I.P. Ross Dawson – Drummer – Late Of The Pier

15/05/22 at 8.52am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Ross Dawson Late of The PierRoss Dawson, drummer of Late of the Pier, has died following a “very sudden and tragic accident” on Friday 15 May.

Late Of The Pier was an exciting indie act that emerged on the scene back in 2008.  The band went from a band on the come to a band on the gone in a blink of an eye.  The band released one studio album Fantasy Black Channel in 2008, and then broke up in 2010.

As well as performing with Late of the Pier, who formed in 2005, Mr. Dawson wrote and played his own material. He was also a drummer with artists including Misty Miller, Kai Fish and most recently Zibra.

Let’s take this opportunity to reflect with “Space And The Woods” below:

It didn’t take long for Alabama Shakes (pictured) to shoot up the chart and bump Courtney Barnett from the top spot.  Three new albums make their debut in the countdown this week, including the latest effort from Mackenzie Scott, aka TORRES.  The other two albums are from English rockers Blur and the Louisville, Kentucky rock band My Morning Jacket.

The latest album from MEW still holds first position in my compact disc player.  Ten years ago this coming fall, a dude I worked with at the time, turned me on to the English indie electronic band Broadcast.  Their third studio album Tender Buttons was met with critical acclaim.  Listen to the only single from the album that turns 10 in September, “America’s Boy.”
