The return of Everett True | 121. Mick Trouble
There was The Times – and they were pretty snazzy, what with all their Mod leanings and laconic London observation. There was Wreckless Eric – and man, who could resist one of Eric’s pitiful laments at closing time? There were the TV Personalities – and they were a little bit complicated. Maudlin and desperate at turns, twee […]
So boring I forgot what I was going to type | the collected Facebook War On Drugs vitriol
This one started quite innocuously. A simple and well-liked comment on Facebook, Fuck man. Has anyone actually listened to The War On Drugs? Christ, they’re bad. I hear Mark Kozelek is a big fan. I think Kozelek is probably jealous cos they’re the only band alive more boring than him. Saw ’em at the Zoo, […]
Lesley Gore R.I.P.
Feminist icon and inspirational pop singer Lesley Gore has died in a New York hospital, aged 68, from lung cancer. I love Lesley Gore’s music. She’s always one of my go-to references when I want to refer to a certain type of 6os girl group/teenage heartbreak music – indeed, I mentioned her in yesterday’s Song of […]
Charli XCX – Sucker (Atlantic)
I’ll admit right here that I’m not the most qualified person to write this review. But then, you don’t read Collapse Board for qualified persons anyway, do you? I’ll also admit that, the third time I chugged down Sucker (for that is indeed how you consume Charli XCX – bottle held high over yr lips […]
The return of Everett True | 120. The Wendy Darlings
I never do this. Or rather, I’ve never done this before. I’ve sometimes reviewed the same album three days in a row. I’ve sometimes featured the same person a few days in a row – usually in sad circumstances, or when they’re in different bands. I’ve always held off from running two Songs of the […]
The return of Everett True | 119. Dawn Richard
I’m consistent, at least. Scratch that. Much as I know folk like their comfort zones, their safe places, their writers they can turn to again and again knowing they’ll always receive similar advice, similar opinions – I’ve never really seen that consistency is a virtue. Maybe if you’re a middle distance runner. Maybe if you’re […]
Song of the Day #695 – Carriages
Sometimes the best moments, the best ways to find something new, the best opportunities in which you find yourself surprised and wonder how you’ve missed something so good, happen when a friend says, “Hey, check this out.” Instantly you fall all over again. Your head is over your heels, you’ve fallen head over heels, you […]
