A few weeks ago I posted about the new The Real Tuesday Weld album The End of the World and said that when I received it I'd give it a good listen and get back to you about it. Well I've got it, I've listened, and I can tell you it's beautiful. Painfully beautiful. This is not music for the faint of heart, as it is pretty much guaranteed to break your heart if it isn't already. Of course, ...

I love rain. I know Ann Peebles might argue with me on this fact but I love the rain. I like walking in it. I like getting caught in it. I love the sound of it. I checked my iTunes and I've got around 60 songs about the rain. More songs by Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix than any other artist. That might be because I have more songs by them in general. Who knows. It's been raining here in t...

I was sitting outside Portland, Ore.'s Someday Lounge two nights ago following an incredible live performance by London's The Real Tuesday Weld when Stephen Coates—main man behind the band—told me he wasn't afraid of death. "My experience of death has been really positive," he told me. "When my father died he wasn't scared—he was completely fortunate about the time he had here." Clearly Coat

seven out of ten stars Some albums are like love manifested; even when you’re alone they make you feel full. Isn’t it why we listen to music after all? To find love in whatever form we most prefer it? To fill up when we feel empty? “Life is good when you’re feeling love / Life is good when you’re filled with blood,” exalts Stephen Coates—who records under the name The Real Tuesday We

Lately my life has been in a constant state of limbo, with lots of changes going on. One consequence of this is that I can't use my computer for online purposes right now, so I've been playing a lot of vinyl and cd's from friends. An album that seems to exemplify the alternating turmoil and beauty my life contains right now is the newest release by The Real Tuesday Weld. "The Return of the C...

Summer left without saying goodbye. It actually never arrived but I guess it was here hiding from the rain and when the sky cleared up it just took off............and now autumn has filled its place. It is my favorite time of year. The season of second chances. Everything is possible now.........better make the most of it before winter kicks in.Bike-rides are great during this time of year. Wat...

I just discovered The Real Tuesday Weld today, thanks to a friend linking me to one of their songs on youtube. I've fallen in love with Stephen Coates's strange yet beautiful genre (which I can't even begin to pigeonhole). Each song is so different to the next and they're all so different to most anything I've heard before. Apparently he defines his music as 'antique beat'. To me it sounds like...

I haven't posted a Saturday track in a while but I felt like it today given that I have to work until at least 1 A.M. tonight (working retail on the last Saturday before Christmas). I've been listening to The Real Tuesday Weld after enjoying his remix of "Good Morning Blues" by Count Basie on Verve Christmas Remixed. I like his music but at the same time, I kind of wish more of it was instrume...

The Real Tuesday Weld just released another album and it got me thinking how much I appreciate his stuff. Some of it is downright quirky, some whimsical, but on the whole it is some of the most creative stuff I have heard in a while. And if it is not, there are very few doing what he is doing - I call it antiqued electronica. It usually inspires a love-hate reaction in people I play it for. ...

Special guests appear and disappear as both ...
