Well, it took almost two years, but one of my foremost rock crushes (and a former member of the power-popping band Ash), Brit singer-songwriter-guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, is finally about to release her third solo album New Worlds. From where I hear, her first two - 2004's Grey Will Fade and 2007's The Deep Blue - far outstrip anything recorded by Ash. Hatherley's mix of hard-edged, pop-tun...

Well, the Best-of-2007 lists continue to roll in. Me? I’d rather not join in. Not a list-maker. You all know what I like by now if you pay a little attention to my MOG page – although I certainly don’t expect anyone to give a rat’s ass. I will go on record as saying that there were myriad thrills in the digital “grooves” for me this past year. But I continue to wait (seemingly in vain)

You guys remember that mix I made for my youngest son Joshua as a Christmas present? If you don't, "+here's a refresher on what I did.+":http://mog.com/Dale/blog_post/133112Here's the good news: the mix has gone down a treat, he loves it. He listens to it anytime he's in his room, and it has become the preferred soundtrack to our car rides together. He sings along, despite his brothers' protest...

My previous post was all about the stunning moment when you encounter music that makes your ears prick up, and your brain flip, and your body shudder with excitement.That’s what discovering English singer-songwriter-guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was like for me.I have to say that my zeal about Hatherley (an ex-member of the punky, poppy Northern Ireland rock band Ash) has not diminished in the .

CHARLOTTE HATHERLEY – THE DEEP BLUE (2007)Charlotte made the correct decision to relinquish her Guitar duties with Ash 3 years ago, and her two solo releases prove that sonically she was grounded in the more experimental Power Pop than her former charges who have recently become a more mainstream Rock act. Her debut, “Grey Will Fade” was packed with punchy, upbeat and often funny odes to rel

Charlotte Hatherley, formerly a guitarist for Ash, is releasing her second solo album, The Deep Blue, on March 5th. More details at http://www.charlottehatherley.com/. This is a UK release; heaven knows if it'll ever see a US release. Her solo debut hasn't so far. I pre-ordered my copy on Sunday. The second single off the album, "I Want You To Know," is poppier and peppier than the first single...

Ex-Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley recently released her 2nd solo album "The Deep Blue" (in the UK - it's available as an import here). I didn't really dig the first single "I Want You To Know", which has one of the worst videos of all time, so the video for the other single from the record was a really pleasant surprise."Behave" really sneaks up on you, like the best songs. The video really ...

I really liked the hooky power pop on the former Ash guitarist Hatherley's 2004 solo debut Grey Will Fade. She's now set to release a new single, "Behave," on Dec. 18 and a new album, The Deep Blue, in March 2007 on her own, newly founded label Little Sister. (UK release dates. Who knows if the stuff ever sees US release.) "Behave" is streaming on Charlotte's MySpace page now. On the first list...

It’s strange to think that Charlotte Hatherley was once in the amazingly popular rockers known to many as Ash. In the time since she was asked to leave the band, the career paths of band artists couldn’t be any more different. Ash have remained as a three-piece and have notoriously ditched the album format in [...]
