BBgail: what's the point???

Phoenix, AZ electronic pop musician BBgail, stage name of Abigail Corinne, is sitting on the fence between the mainstream and left-field excursions on her debut EP what's the point???, a small batch of introspective songs people can dance to. Recording from the comfort of her own home allowed her to layer-upon-layer without worrying about the clock in a studio.

She is a searcher for the meaning of it all, who is she is and how another person might fit into her life. As a composer she does not have to worry about that. Corinne has found her niche, with infectious melodies sprinkled on top of pulsating soundscapes, a spot-on pairing of radio-friendly phrasing and "blink-and-you-miss-it" musical inventiveness.

Johnny Marr: "Spin" video

Watch the video for Spin, the lead single for Johnny Marr's new album The Age Of Everything. His signature guitar tone is in fine fettle. Hopefuls from all over the world have tried to replicate it and they all came up short.

I Helped Edward Ball Escape – A Tribute To The Times & Edward Ball

Putting together a carefully curated Edward Ball 2CD tribute I Helped Edward Ball Escape – A Tribute To The Times & Edward Ball, took many, many years. The English songwriter, singer, guitarist and keyboard player never made it big, but he is an essential artist in the power pop, post-punk and indie pop scene. He was a member of well-respected cult bands (Television Personalities, 'O' Level, Teenage Filmstars, The Times), writing subtle songs wherein melody is king. Forever being a musician's musician he has been jheld in high regard amongst the cognoscenti, who put him on the same level as Alex Chilton and Ray Davies.

The sprawling I Helped Edward Ball Escape – A Tribute To The Times & Edward Ball, three hours of reinventing his development as a writer. Stand-out tracks Last Tango For One - with quite a bit of The Beatles classic Eleanor Rigby, the good-natured stabs at Oasis singer Liam Gallagher Our Leader who gets not one but two covers, the rollicking Controversial Girlfriend and the muffled garage rocker Pinstripes.
