In the late 1950s, a decade before the formation of The Velvet Underground, young Lewis Reed recorded a number of doo-wop tracks with his high school band Jades including So Blue (above), Merry Go Round, Your Love and The Ostrich, which – as well as lending its name to Reed’s Ostrich guitar turning style – brought him to the attention of future Velvets co-founder John Cale.

Morrissey has taken to his fan site true-to-you.net to deny he is behind the twitter and Facebook accounts bearing his name.
16 May 2014
I would like to stress that I do not have either a Twitter or a Facebook account. I gather that a Twitter account has been opened in my name – as ‘It’s Morrissey’ – but it is NOT Morrissey. I do not know who has opened this recent Twitter account, but please be aware that it is bogus. That’s, of course, if you should remotely care.
Untwitterably yours,
MORRISSEY

We had our doubts but you knew that already.
Honest.

Simon Maher says:
“There should be nothing revolutionary about playing Talking Heads followed by Sylvan Esso followed by The Blades at Breakfast. We play the music we like and it’s just the natural thing to do. Trust your audience and they will trust you!”
FIGHT!

Andy Martin, in London, writes:
Using the iPhone app ‘Vine’, I created a series of stop motion loops over a period of about six months. It was a good way to experiment quickly with plasticine in motion and they were fun to make. As this series of animations developed they became more focused on animations that produce sounds, this gave me a bigger idea…
I have always been interested in the way visuals can effect sound and how visual loops can be brought together to create a piece of music. This is how I produced Plasticine Rhythm; allowing each stop motion loop, made using Vine, to dictate a sound and combining these sound loops on screen to build a compatible interplay of rhythm and melody. Once this was established I then played with all the elements, including the background colour and the mini TVs containing the loops, so every element was intrinsically linked with the music.
Thanks Andy

By all accounts, Damien Rice stormed it in Whelan’s last night.
Were you there?
How was it for you?
We knew him when he was just Paddy Field…
For most of an enthralling and hugely generous 150 minute set, Rice performed alone with his guitar…His sound was also embellished by the judicious use of pedals, adding colour and depth to the music. The word for now is that Damien Rice is back – and back to his best. Long may it continue…
