T.Rex T.Rex 1972
In 1972, England found itself staring down a very bleak decade. Inflation continued to soar, and unemployment hit its highest rate since the 1930s, with nearly one out of every four people out of work. Tensions in Ireland escalated, and uncertainty loomed on seemingly every front. Those and other trends would culminate in blackouts and dole queues, and a general sense that the country and its culture were crumbling. But the sprite born Mark Feld existed in direct and ecstatic opposition to such doom and gloom. The country moped, but he rocked. That summer the rockstar rechristened Marc Bolan...
Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal Get On Board
The original Get On Board by blues icons Terry and McGhee was a 10” album released on the Folkways label in 1952, the eventual fruits of a partnership formed a decade earlier and which thrived well into the ’60s. The record’s contents were key texts in the early musical education of both Mahal and Cooder during their teenage years in California, and a shared love when both were members of The Rising Sons (although the band’s only album, recorded in ’65, went unreleased for more than quarter of a century). ORDER NOW: Miles Davis is on the cover in the...

The making of Spiritualized’s “I Think I’m In Love”
Jason Pierce is weighing up the news that the third Spiritualized album, 1997’s Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, has secured a spot on the list of the greatest albums released in the 25-year life span of Uncut. “It’s nice, and I do like the album,” says Pierce of a record that many regard as his masterpiece. “It was lots of ups and downs, and some things came easier than others. Some of the goal is to make it believable at the end, but the whole thing is a construct. Smoke and mirrors. That’s the joy of...
Neil Young and Crazy Horse Barn documentary
Thanks to Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, Beatles fans got to be the proverbial fly on the wall for eight hours, watching the album sessions unfold in what often felt like real time. Actress/filmmaker Darryl Hannah’s Barn, which documents the making of the 2021 Neil Young and Crazy Horse album of the same name, doesn’t give viewers quite the same amount of unfettered access; it clocks in at about an hour and a quarter, for one thing. But Jackson didn’t include footage of John Lennon taking an al fresco leak, something which we get to witness Young doing here....
Various Artist Saturno 2000 La Rebajada de Los Sonideros 1962-1983
In 1970s Mexico, an entire sub-genre of music was created by DJs doing what John Peel used to sometimes – unwittingly – do, which is to play records at the wrong speed. The clubbers of Monterrey and Mexico City loved the uptempo cumbia music coming out of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru, but they often found the tempos too fast for the dancefloor. Commercial turntables with variable speed controls, like the Technics SL-1200, were prohibitively expensive, so Mexican soundsystem DJs – or “sonideros” – found ingenious ways of adjusting the electrical circuitry on their sturdy Garrard 88 turntables so...Recent Posts
