I've got all these thoughts swirling around in my head, ever since I wrote about not being so hard on yourself. I keep thinking about forgiveness. About how hard it is to forgive yourself and how hard it is to ask for someone else's forgiveness when you really and truly don't deserve it. I'm also obsessively listening to one song, "Borrowed Your Gun" by Spiritualized. It starts off ki...

--- - |- Either someone is cheating death, or the camera is lying-- regardless, it's a fitting theme for the video of "You Lie, You Cheat", the B-side to second single "Sweet Talk" from Spiritualized's Songs in A&E. Director Jake Chapman's entire clip is shot in a sped-up first person steadycam, and takes the viewer through a series of city buildings, racing up staircase after staircase, and l...

Though I enjoy the minimal, droning, shoegaze thunder of Spacemen 3, what I've heard of former member Jason (Spaceman) Pierce's Spirtualized, most of it being orchestral and mellow, hasn't really appealed to me.I found out they were playing the Late Show with David Letterman last night, so, taking into consideration all the positive reviews for this year's Songs in A & E and my appreciation for...

Jason Pierce is maddening. His live performance at the Coachella Festival last April was underwhelming. Immobile other than strumming an acoustic guitar, sitting sideways to the audience whilst barely acknowledging them and wearing mirrored sunglasses, you could say Pierce was the antithesis of enthusiasm and energy. I've been a fan from the time I bought his "Royal Albert Hall October 10, 1997...

I have to admit being skeptical that the new Spiritualized would be good. Not only is it good, I would maybe say it is even great. J Spaceman (Jason Pierce) nails it with this one. Songs in A & E drips thoughts and emotions of pain, suffering, hope and joy while screaming frailty. It really seems to capture his recent near death experience. I can't help but feel encompassed by the sincerity tha...

On November 16, 2009, the updated album will arrive in both a collectors edition (mini CD & two bonus discs of extra material including demos and alternative mixes) and a special edition (standard CD with the two bonus discs).

Spiritualized have revealed the cover art for their upcoming LP Songs In A&E. The album will be released on May 26th via Universal/Spaceman. The deluxe CD and double LP versions were designed by Mark Farrow, who's been designing the band's album art since 1997's Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space "blister pack." Allegedly, the imagery was inspired by Jason Pierce's near-fatal expe...

With a new album on the way and summer tours getting sorted, Spiritualized announced they will tour the US this summer. The US dates begin July 19th and I hope they use this time to work on their stage presence. Because a lot of people have reported back from Coachella that the Spiritualized set was bOring! And this coming from big fans of the band! (See Augustus1's comment on my previous S...
