In 2012 is the centennial of Woody Guthrie's birth. Will Johnson (Centro-matic, South San Gabriel), Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Gob Iron, Uncle Tupelo), Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket, Monsters of Folk) and Anders Parker (Varnaline, Gob Iron) were invited by Guthrie's daughter, Nora, who runs the Guthrie Archives, to pick through Guthrie’s notebooks of lyrics (most of these lyrics were written during Guthrie's time in Los Angeles) in order to add tunes to them. "These guys worked on an amazing group

I've done worse.... With a 2-month delay (...) here's the post dedicated to the 50 years of minimalism.

PJ Harvey - The Peel Sessions 1991 - 2004 (@320)

Published on 2012-01-07 10:16:00

It's the first time that the three major UK music mags (Mojo, Uncut, NME) chose the same best album of the year. It was of course PJ Harvey's Let England Shake. I have to admit I didn't expect from Polly Harvey to return with such a magnificent album since in her last two she seemed to have lost the plot. Her glorious return is thus celebrated with these Peel Sessions. Enjoy.review link: heredownload link: here

Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch (12'') (1977) (@320)

Following the previous post's subject, this is about the reunion of the Buzzcocks with Howard Devoto for two special shows as part of the Buzzcocks "Back to Front" tour on the 25th and 26th of May 2012 in Manchester and London. Their sole release while Devoto was in the group was the EP that is offered today; an inflammable material that captured the sign of the times in the most natural way and at the same time a fundamental independent release since it was the group itself that manufactured,

Stone Roses - Fools Gold 9.53 (12'') (1989) (@320)

Last year, it was the reunion of the Pavement that was nominated (by me!) as the reunion of the year. This year it's a very tough competition. We have two groups, both coming from my beloved Manchester, both being among the leaders of the music movements they belong to.The first one is the Stone Roses. Their reunion was announced in October and they've already booked two reunion concerts in Manchester at the end of June, followed by a world tour. They even plan to record new material together.Th
