Morrissey - People Are The Same Everywhere/Action Is My Middle Name/The Kids A Looker

Morrissey, this wonderful rebellious child of Mother Brittania is one restless spirit. To prove that he recorded a brand new yet untitled album, tenth in his solo career and performed three new track off that album which were broadcasted on BBC Radio 2. Now judging from what I've heard, Morrissey has not lost his songwriting and performing abilities and once more delivered some really astonishing songs. But then again this is Morrissey, no one expects by less from him. The guy's simply great. I can only imagine how good would his new album be. Well here's a glimpse of what's to come. Below's three songs recorded live at Maida Vale on the 10th of June for BBC. I think they're absolutely brilliant. Hopefully they won't be the last to hear from Morrissey.

Morrissey, този лиричен и непокорен син на Майка Британия е както винаги неподатлив на времената и нравите. Доказва го с чисто новите песни, които наскоро пусна в нета и които можеш да чуеш по-долу. Освен това Morrissey има записан изцяло нов материал под формата на албум, десети пореден за който все още няма издател, поне според думите на самия артист. Затова колко добри са новите му парчета можеш да се убедиш и сам, като преслушат тези постнати по-долу. Записани са на живо и излъчени на 10-ти Юни по радио BBC Radio 2. Да се надяваме, че това няма да е последното, което ще чуем от Morrissey.

Yuck

Yuck is one of those rare gems that you either find by chance or someone recommends it to you because that's not the type of music you'll find easily. Well there's always the possibility to find it on your own if you dwell deep enough in the indie universe. What one will actually find is this relatively new London-based indie/shoegaze band that sound really diverse from most things you've probably heard so far for their sound is more like an amalgam of The Jesus And Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine. To be honest the shoegaze element is to my delight very strong and present in their music. It's been awhile since I've heard something that good. I have to admit that most new shoegaze bands I've heard lately comes from the UK but that's no surprise really as the genre I came to love so much originates from there and it's been ever popular with the local bands. Yuck borrows heavily from their UK shoegaze heritage and that's evident in songs such as "Rubber". In the same time it's obvious their attraction to american indie bands as heard in "Holing Out". For some reason it kinda reminds me of Dinosaur Jr. Throw there a pinch of Sonic Youth in songs like "The Wall" and you'll get an idea what to expect from this band. But "Georgia" is gotta be my favorite from what I've heard so far. A song truly crafted in the best traditions of the american indie bands. To some extend the work of the band is reminiscent of the early nineties with it's distorded guitars and psychadelic/noisy yet melodic sound all so very present in "Get Away". So far the band released it's debut self-titled album through Fat Possum Records. Of course Yuck are much more that just few songs and I would like to invite everyone to explore the enigmatic mystery that is Yuck. A surge of new and exciting feelings are sure to follow.

The Vaccines

The Vaccines are a super-cute four-piece indie rock band from England formed in 2010. Currently they have one released record titled "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?" and at the moment are touring with Arctic Monkeys. They definitely got a fresh sound that demonstrates their youthful attitude. Interesting to see where that will lead them.

Long Live The Monarchy!

Today's the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. All hopes for a brighter future of the Royal family now lies on the shoulders of that young lad. Will he succeed in restoring the former glory of the British Royal family after all the scandals in the past, will the monarchy be strong again and most of all will he be the next king of England are all questions that only time will answer. Hopefully the young prince will be a more fitting candidate for the throne than his father. And above all I hope that this marriage is born out of love. Here's something fitting for the occasion. And long live these two lovebirds :-)

Prince William finally proposed to his long-time girlfriend

Cheers mate. I bet your grandmother is having a hard time accepting that her grandson and supposed-to-be heir to the throne will marry a commoner. That news alone made a laugh in certain social circles, I'm sure of that. Well everybody makes mistakes. Congratulations. Here's a salute to you:

Bloody Tourists

Listening to the Bloody Tourists's debut album "Kink" is like making love to a beautiful woman while driving to the edge of a cliff and not giving a shit about it. That's how bold these guys from Bath, UK sound. Their music is one that can't leave a person passive and still. You'll be sucked into atmosphere of pure rock music fueled with dirty guitar reefs, shameless vocals and catchy songs that you'll make your head spin like you've been high for weeks. "Kink" is twelve track musical extravaganza about the things in life, served to you the hard way. Alcohol, girls, stupid friends, all is here in this awfuly good mixture of 70's rock filled with a pinch of indie music. While listening to "Kink" I couldn't help myself but to think that all the time I was listening to a combination of Led Zeppelin meets The Pixies, and it sounded damn good. One thing I love about this album is the guitar solos in songs like "Gram and a half" and "Shanghai Low". It kinda made me wanna grab a guitar and start playing myself. Good thing I didn't do it, otherwise I'd be in jail by now for disturbing the peace. On the other hand there's a handful of catchy songs like "Pop Song" that'll stuck in your head for weeks. And then there's songs like "Up The Dosage" that embodies best the first line of this review. One just have to listenten the whole album to understand what I'm talking about.Still Bloody Tourists's music definitely awoke the sleeping rock monster in me.Bloody Tourists knows how to stir the water with a music that is clearly inspired by the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Pixies and maybe Jimi Hendrix. And the best thing is that they don't try to sound like someone else.
