paris match – paul weller and everything but the girl
aaaah getting all nostaligic now… this was once a favorite of mine, tracey thorn of “everything but the girl”, which by the way took its name from a furniture store ben watts and tracey lived above that sold everything a bachelor could want… except the girl of course (what a great name). on this track, stacey sings over paul weller’s guitar for style council. by dd

the smiths – this charming man
i was never the biggest fan of the smiths (sometimes remind me of kate bush…) but i have to say i love the fact they used this photo of jean marais by jean cocteau without permission… even if the damn thing was taken out of circulation really quick and replaced with something else… and about the original artwork, well… it’s very the smiths 😉 by pp + ps

social distortion: short film premiere
so cal rock and roll veterans social distortion recently released a music video for the song “machine gun blues” from their new album “hard times and nursery rhymes“. this isn’t just a music video, it is a short film based on a fictional bank robbery in la circa 1934. i think it’s great to see such a core band putting themselves out there by making more than just your ordinary watch-the-band-play music video. it’s a nice production that tells a story. by jr
