The return of Everett True | 98. Trash Kit
This series been around for a while now. There have been around 700 of these suckers, give or take. My initial vow – not to repeat the same band twice – was broken years ago (initially by Kate Nash, if I recall correct). Too many names. So much wonderful music. I forget sometimes. No reason. I just […]
The return of Everett True | 97. Twerps
I’m more familiar with this type of music than I ought to be, but that’s hardly Twerps fault. Which leaves me in somewhat of a quandary. How should I describe this, without resorting to a list of names that would bore even me? (Some way too obvious, some The Pastels, one Twelve Cubic Feet.) That doesn’t […]
The return of Everett True | 96. Bent
I’m more familiar with this type of music than I ought to be, but that’s hardly Bent’s fault. I note on the same SoundCloud that this Bent album is available from – and sure, it squalls and scratches and irritates in all the right places – that there’s a new compilation coming out, Escape From […]
The return of Everett True | 95. Some Jerks
I have a theory that Vivian Girls are more similar to Ramones than given credit for. Not only in their sound – and the fact they were the first band to truly get Ramones since Shop Assistants – but also in the way they blazed a trail through the 2000s, inspiring dozens – possibly hundreds – of […]
The return of Everett True | 94. Violent Soho
Nothing’s more obnoxious than the sight of young people enjoying themselves, unless it’s the sight of young people enjoying themselves in pretty much the exact same way you used to enjoy yourself when you were their age. Violent Soho are filed under ‘grunge’. Would I have liked ’em back then? Alcohol and largesse meant my taste […]
The return of Everett True | 93. Sylvan Esso (and a whipping for the critics concerned)
From Wikipedia. Critical reception[edit] The album has received positive reviews from critics. James Christopher Monger of AllMusic awarded the album three-and-a-half out of five stars, calling the album “club- and café-ready, artsy and cool”.[1] Tom Breihan ofStereogum called the album “a breezy, joyous piece of work”, as well as selecting it as an Album of […]
The return of Everett True | 92. Os Ovni
Who can deny the pull of gaming music? It’s been part of my life since the days I used to play Space Invaders through the night, one game. I eventually removed the Space Invaders machince forcibly from its spot, and placed it in my next-door neighbour’s room. He had some seriously fast explaining to do […]
The return of Everett True | 91. ScotDrakula
I don’t know why I continue this blog. No one reads it. It frustrates me no one reads it because I think the way I write it is both entertaining and sufficiently different to the majority of music criticism out there to be of note, and (more importantly) most of the music featured is SO […]
The return of Everett True | 90. Hannah Diamond
Both this and GFOTY are tips from Tasmin, one of my most trusted sources. She sez: “for pure pop music, basically everything on the PC Music label is great“. I trust her, so I listen. And she’s right. I can only imagine that if you’re heavily into yr classic grunge and yr Kings of Leon […]
The return of Everett True | 89. The Smith Street Band
This one goes out to my 21-year-old self, fucked up on alcohol. This one goes out to my 31-year-old self, confused and scared on the streets of San Francisco. This one goes out to Stephen Sweet, for spending the night awake in a chair jammed against the hotel room doorknob. This one goes out to […]
