In 1981, The Go-Go’s gave the classic girl group a modern makeover (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Go-Go’s bassist Kathy Valentine still remembers the moment she knew her band had struck it big. They had been opening for The Police across North America. As she tells it, after a show in Atlanta, Sting and his bandmates greeted the Go-Go’s backstage with champagne and the news that their debut album, Beauty and the Beat, had just climbed to number one on the Billboard charts. Talk about a message in a bottle. It marked the first time in history that an all-female band that wrote its own songs a
Review: Lily Seabird, 'Lightspheres On Their Way' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve spent the last few years telling friends about Lily Seabird’s music and always end up looking a bit foolish. Anytime I think I have the young Vermont artist pegged, she releases a new batch of songs that blows my prior conceptions of her music to smithereens. So, for my own ego’s sake, let’s skip the indie rock and singer-songwriter labels this time. Seabird’s third full-length, Lightspheres On Their Way, defies simple categorization. It’s the kind of record that breathes and moves to a rhy
Bob Dylan pieced together an old-fashioned masterpiece with Modern Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Those early songs were almost magically written,” Bob Dylan told 60 Minutes’ Ed Bradley in 2004. He recited the opening lines from 1965’s “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” as an example of that sort of songwriting alchemy. “You don’t think you can [write] like that today?” asked Bradley. “Nuh-uh,” responded Dylan. “I can do other things now, but I can’t do that.” For some, this admission might have further confirmed the idea of Dylan as an almost mythical figure who once emerged from nowhe
David Bowie helped transform 'Labyrinth' into an unexpected psychological thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jim Henson found himself at a creative crossroads after completing 1982’s The Dark Crystal. The experimental, all-puppet dark fantasy—now viewed as a monumental achievement in worldbuilding and technical filmmaking—had failed to capture public imagination the way Henson had hoped. Eager to prove that he could still innovate and entertain without leaning on his classic Muppet characters, Henson began working with Dark Crystal conceptual designer Brian Froud on another foray into the realm of fant
mary in the junkyard: 'Role Model Hermit' Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Mary’s a nice name, and the world’s a junkyard,” the trio who make up London’s mary in the junkyard told a Dutch interviewer a couple years back. Since then, bandmates Clari Freeman-Taylor (vocals/guitars), Saya Barbaglia (bass/viola), and David Addison (drums) have been exploring the idea of matching “the serene and peaceful with the chaotic.” It’s a dynamic that’s quickly evident as Freeman-Taylor’s airy, fragile voice wades into the mayhem concocted along with her bandmates. It’s also just o
