Happy Birthday, Paul Weller

Happy Birthday, to Paul Weller!

The legendary Weller, aka The Modfather, formed The Jam in 1976, abruptly ended the band (while still at the top of their game) in 1982, and went on to form another great band, the groove/soul-vibey project, The Style Council. In 1992 he launched his proper solo career with the release of his debut solo album Paul Weller, and he's still at it--he just released a new album, Sonik Kicks.

Weller is a true music visionary--he's enjoyed quite an amazing career and was honored with NME's Godlike Genius Award in 2010. Watch some video from Weller's remarkable career:

Sky Between Leaves - new single Sky Between Leaves

Supercool band alert!  Sky Between Leaves are a new alt-rock/Krautonica band from London.  They just released their debut single, "Sky Between Leaves" (yes, the band is named Sky Between Leaves and their new song is also titled "Sky Between Leaves" - Talk Talk did that too back in the day).  

The single "Sky Between Leaves" is awesome - it features a mighty dance groove with shoegazer/dreampop vocals, plus if that wasn't cool enough, there's also a sample of Jarvis Cocker!  Fun fact: Sky Between Leaves named themselves after a comment Cocker made describing the first time he wore glasses - realizing that the holes in the trees were "the sky between the leaves."

Listen to the awesome "Sky Between Leaves" and download it from Soundcloud or Bandcamp. 

Stream another song "The Smokeless Fire"

The Smiths' photo exhibit - Manchester: So Much To Answer For

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the formation of The Smiths, a photo exhibition Manchester: So Much To Answer For opens next month at Proud Camden in London.  The exhibit opens June 1st, runs through July 15th, and features an impressive collection of photographs of The Smiths and the city of Manchester taken by Kevin Cummins.  Cummins is a renowned photographer who spent 10 years as chief photographer at NME, and over the years has shot many exceptional bands--Joy Division, The Clash, The Stone Roses, and of course, The Smiths.  

Cummins spent a lot of time with the Smiths during their career--he took their publicity stills, traveled the world with the band, and filmed many of their live gigs.  Manchester: So Much To Answer For not only documents the Smiths and their exceptional career, but also features photos of Manchester - depicting the city's rise, fall, and aftermath. The exhibit is without question a MUST-see for Smiths' fans, and it's free! 

The exhibit opens June 1st, but an exclusive launch party for Manchester: So Much To Answer For takes place the evening of May 31st.  The launch event kicks off at 6pm with a private viewing of the exhibit, then directly afterwards the party continues with live music all night, including a guest DJ set by Smiths' drummer Mike Joyce (he'll DJ from 9:35 - 11:35).  And you can WIN tickets to this awesome launch party!  Here's how:
