Nimrod Stainer Just brilliant music - easily some of the best I've heard in many years... and I've been around long enough to buy Diamond Dogs on its release. Can't stop playing it :) Favorite track: (Out Of) The Neighborhood.

Won't you make me wise like Soloman Strong like a superman, fly like nobody can Won't you make me wise like a Soloman Cut the children into halves, someone's got to take a stand-uh Won't you make me strong like a superman Fly like nobody can, soaring across the land Can we try to make us a better man Sky's splitting into half, no one seems to give a damn Yeah ah ah ah yeah ah ah ah yeah ah ah Oh no, there's nobody in the sky Oh no, everybody's gonna fry Up is down and black's turning into white Top men working on it, top men working on it As you dance into the horizon there's Fire in the sky and I hide in a garbage can Should we try to make us a better man Sky's splitting into half, no one seems to give a damn Yeah ah ah ah yeah ah ah ah yah ah ah Oh, no, there's nobody in the sky Oh no, everybody's gonna fry Up is down and black's turning into white Cue the apocalypse, cue the apocalypse You told me to try to remember, but I don't remember it's been so long You told me to try to remember, but I don't remember it's all gone

You say it's the best, when you come walking in Back from the west, and here it comes again The moons collide, but you've got another thing coming It is in the end, just as it was in the beginning I don't know where you're going, where you're going, where you're going But you've gotta go No time for whinin', no time for cryin' The son of sam, the late night picture shows Back from the dead, and a knife fight in the cold I knocked them back, you were getting rid of that ghost I don't know where you're going, where you're going, where you're going But we turned into the song And it went too long I don't know where you're going, where you're going You say it's the best, when you come walking in Back from the dead, and here you come again Those world collide, but you've got another thing coming I don't know where you're going, where you're going, where But you've gotta go No time for whinin', no time for cryin'

Poor blind Willie McMuffin, threw me down the railroad slats He says "now you got all of that money boy, what'cha gonna do with that?" But if he'd had a spark in that cold cold heart He would've shown the right way home If he'd had a spark in that cold cold heart He would've left a me alone Poor blind Willie Mc F*** You, came back to the modern world He had no blues, no revolvers, just a trailer and a little girl But if he'd had a spark in that cold cold heart He could had a house and wife If he'd had a spark in that cold cold heart I couldn't blame him for my life Poor blind Willie McSausage Egg Biscuit, Took a look around himself The storm clouds brewing above him, sent him packing way down south But if he'd had a spark in that cold cold heart He would've left a me alone But there was no spark in that cold cold heart So the devil finally brought him home

about

NEW ADVENTURES IN POP 025

To talk about a new group when we’re talking about a group formed by Christopher Tait (among many other things, keyboardist of ELECTRIC SIX) and Jesse Smith, daughter of the famous Patti Smith, fruit of her marriage to Fred “Sonic” Smith, the guitarist of MC5, is to say not nearly enough. But the best is that using those names as reference is nothing more than an exercise in contextualization, a way of informing the alert reader that we’re talking about people with a deep and wide knowledge of music. Because starting now, when it comes to talking in strictly musical terms, we can say that what we find here is, happily, a surprise.

Lovers of classic pop, tired of the modern world, and influenced by Scott Joplin, THE ZOMBIES, Fred Neil, FLEETWOOD MAC, and THE MODERN LOVERS, BELLE GHOUL began as a project between two friends in Detroit and New York who shared musical tastes, ideas, and remnants of songs. When the group began to take shape they asked some of their friends and co-workers to collaborate, and that’s how Matt Van, Zach Shipps, Mike Alonso and Christian Doble helped Chris and Jesse embellish and finish off their splendid songs.

This 7” debut for the North American duo is a marvelous example of elegant and luminous pop, somewhere between THE BOO RADLEYS, THE GO-BETWEENS and the Paul Kelly of “Under The Sun”, with a huge, powerful production, like that hyper-energized beginning, “(Out Of) The Neighborhood”, blown up with marvelous winds that sweep through the whole EP with incredible power. The wonderful instrumentation of “Cue The Apocalypse”, the delicious and spaced-out ambience of “No Time For Cryin’”, and the vivacious, cabaret-styled melody of “Cold Cold Heart” that evokes THE MODERN LOVERS and Lee Hazlewood confirm that we have something big before us, a record that uses music as a means to build a new world, open and optimistic.
