Dear Eugene Kelly...A few years ago, I was in King Tut's in Glasgow, and, I must confess, I was drunk.The Posies had just played a fantastic gig, and I was chatting with some fellow Posies fans in the bar. We talked about what a great gig it was, and how stoked we all were - even though with hindsight, it was like a scene from an 80s American prom movie.At one point, a girl I was talking to said "

I dig out Nirvana's Unplugged CD today, as inspiration for my guitar-learning.It's been a while since any music really affected me, but this CD just hit the spot. Cobain's voice just kills me. And as for my playing along to it? Well, it'll make any pro guitar player weep, and call social services to get my instrument taken away and put into care!

I'm starting to take it personally....I listen to Humphrey Lyttelton, he dies.I threaten to listen to Phil Collins, he announces his retirement (sort of) http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article3808340.eceThe last time I went through a phase like this, I killed Hunter S Thompson, and got Josh Homme & Mike Mills sick.

What's wrong with me? OK, so that's an open ended question that could elicit many many answers. But I find it so hard to get excited about "new music" anymore. Bands like the Wombats.... it's aural spam, and I filter it out. It's like the McFly generation are growing up, and perpetuating the awfulness. I'm too old for 30 Seconds to Mars, Arctic Monkeys and Babyshambles leave me cold. I don't get D

Spice Girls. All Saints. New Kids On The Block. All have reunited, no one asked them too. (And thankfully, the first two have got the hint and gone away again.)A few weeks back, I interviewed former Fugazi bass-man Joe Lally, for JoshKlinghoffer.Net. We talked a lot about Ataxia, the "Super Group" of Joe, Chili Peppers' John Frusciante, and every other band's Josh Klinghoffer.One of the questions

There's been a lot of hype and publicity because, yes, REM have released a new album. It's their best ever. Or, that's what I am led to believe by everything I read. It's loud! It's rocky! It's better than Around the Sun! And yet.... last time they came out with something loud and rocky, following on from two more melodious albums, REM were slaughtered in the press; hung out to dry; Does anyon...
