A Place To Bowl

0

Culturally, Astoria Bowl is an anachronism, a vestige of the sport’s mid-century heyday era. Financially, it’s a small business housed in an enormous building, in a rapidly gentrifying city. Sociologically, it’s a hub of in-person community at a moment when that vital element of life has largely moved online. But, most importantly, it’s an oasis in the truest sense of the word, a place of pure recreation and levity in a city where life tends to be serious and weighty.

Elbow’s First Three Albums To Be Reissued On Vinyl On September 25

0

elbow fans will be able to own the band’s first three studio albums on vinyl when they are reissued on 25th September. The heavyweight vinyl pressings cover debut, “Asleep in the Back”, follow up “Cast of Thousands” and third album, “Leaders of the Free World.” In addition, the band’s B sides collection ‘Dead in the Boot’ and 2014’s “The Take Off and Landing of Everything” will be repressed and restocked to stores meaning that the entire elbow album catalogue will now be available on vinyl.

“Asleep in the Back” was the album that introduced elbow to the world. Produced by Ben Hillier (Blur, Doves, Depeche Mode) and containing the singles; “Newborn,” “Any Day Now,” “Red” and “Powder Blue,” it established the band with the UK public and led to Mercury Award and Brit Award nominations. The album closes with perennial fan favourite “Scattered Black and Whites,” recently revisited by the band in lockdown for their elbowrooms sessions.

“Cast of Thousands,” recorded at legendary Liverpool’s legendary Parr Street Studios, with Ben Hiller again at the helm, introduced cover stars Elle and Bo to the world, their life size statues causing traffic jams when sited next to the motorway during festival dates to promote the album. Taking its title from the vocal contributions of the Glastonbury crowd to “Grace Under Pressure,” recorded in a landmark performance on The Other Stage in 2002, the album artwork features the names of all those who contacted the band to say, “yes, I was there and singing.” An early indicator of elbow’s power to produce inclusive, uplifting moments, “Cast of Thousands” also features “Fugitive Motel”; another track featured during the recent elbowrooms recordings.

“Leaders of the Free World” was the first album to be recorded at elbow’s current home, Blueprint Studios, Manchester, and was co-produced by the band and Tom Rothrock, (Beck, Foo Fighters) and mixed at LA’s legendary Sunset Sound Studios. Accompanied by full length film from collaborators Soup Collective on its release, the album contains several tracks that grace elbow sets to this day including “Great Expectations,” and “Station Approach.”

All three albums were awarded 9/10 by the NME, marking the beginnings of a record run of consecutive 9/10 album reviews in the title that persisted through “The Seldom Seen Kid” and “build a rocket boys!” and all have surpassed gold status in the UK with “The Seldom Seen Kid” achieving quadruple platinum status.

“Asleep in the Back,” “Cast of Thousands” and “Leaders of the Free World” vinyl editions will be available from 25th September on Polydor Records.

Marilyn Manson returns with new album We Are Chaos out September 11

0

Marilyn Manson announces the release of his eleventh studio album WE ARE CHAOS out September 11. Co-produced by Manson and GRAMMY® Award winner Shooter Jennings [Brandi Carlile, Tanya Tucker], the ten-track opus was written, recorded, and finished before a pandemic blanketed us all. Manson heralds the record’s arrival with the title track and lead single “WE ARE CHAOS,” released today. Manson teamed up with director/illustrator Matt Mahurin for the accompanying video.

Manson’s painting, Infinite Darkness, which can be seen on the album cover, was specifically created to accompany the music. His fine art paintings continue to be shown all over the world, including gallery and museum exhibitions from Miami to Vienna to Moscow.

Manson says of the album, “When I listen to WE ARE CHAOS now, it seems like just yesterday or as if the world repeated itself, as it always does, making the title track and the stories seem as if we wrote them today. This was recorded to its completion without anyone hearing it until it was finished. There is most definitely a side A and side B in the traditional sense. But just like an LP, it is a flat circle and it’s up to the listener to put the last piece of the puzzle into the picture of songs.

“This concept album is the mirror Shooter and I built for the listener – it’s the one we won’t stare into. There are so many rooms, closets, safes and drawers. But in the soul or your museum of memories, the worst are always the mirrors. Shards and slivers of ghosts haunted my hands when I wrote most of these lyrics.

“Making this record, I had to think to myself: ‘Tame your crazy, stitch your suit. And try to pretend that you are not an animal’ but I knew that mankind is the worst of them all. Making mercy is like making murder. Tears are the human body’s largest export.”

WE ARE CHAOS Tracklist:
RED BLACK AND BLUE
WE ARE CHAOS
DON’T CHASE THE DEAD
PAINT YOU WITH MY LOVE
HALF-WAY & ONE STEP FORWARD
INFINITE DARKNESS
PERFUME
KEEP MY HEAD TOGETHER
SOLVE COAGULA
BROKEN NEEDLE

Toronto Singer/Songwriter MATT MORSON Shakes Things Up in New Rock-Blues Single, “Why Woman”

0

Canadian country to blues-rock artist Matt Morson has gone against his own grain as he unveils a spiffed-up sound in his new single, “Why Woman” — available now.

Landing ahead of his forthcoming EP, the track mixes guitar-driven anthemic rock with leave-it-all-on-the-floor bass-led blues — complete with country storytelling mixed in for good measure.

But perhaps most importantly, it signals a change in direction and creative mettle for the artist.

“After being on the country scene for five years, I took a year-long hiatus,” the Nobleton-born, Toronto-based artist shares. “Coming back, the band and I decided to shake things up a bit.”

The result is a new sound and distinct style; a dedication to the ‘old’ with the flair of the ‘new,’ he says. “The song came to me while playing with some blues riffs,” Morson shares. “I was very much — and still am — into the classic sound of blues and rock. Naturally, these sounds shift towards times of stress and heartbreak. Add a little personal experience, a bluegrass riff, some good low end and you got yourself ‘Why Woman.’

“This was a song I didn’t plan to release,” he continues. “It is the result of four years of plucking and pulling multiple ideas into one song. It was initially written back in 2016, but I held it back due to fears of it being too heavy, or too loud. I was worried about straying too far off the beaten path, and as a result kept this idea in the vault.

“That was the old me.

“Now, we are releasing it in all its fury. It’s a change of what’s expected, but it’s a direction I always gravitated towards and am finally no longer holding back from. My goal is to make music, not worry about what people think of it.

“I’m just going to play what I want.”

Hear just what that is… “Why Woman” is available now.

Multi-Award Winning Guitarist, Composer & Producer JESSE COOK Re-Records “Wednesday Night at Etric’s” 23 Years Later with Flamenco Star Matt Sellick

0

Award-winning, multi-platinum and gold selling, and Internationally acclaimed guitarist, composer and producer Jesse Cook has released a newly recorded version of his 1997 song, “Wednesday Night at Etric’s” — available now!

The multi-talented virtuoso pulled the track deep from his archives at the enthusiastic urging of friend and Canadian flamenco guitarist, composer and recording artist extraordinaire Matt Sellick; the duo collaborated for the 2020 re-record of the long-special track.

“Late one night in the late nineties, I recorded a song of mine at my friend Etric’s,” Cook recalls. “It was a hip loft downtown, but there was no recording studio; we just set up a few mic’s and started making music.

“Now, 23 years later, my friend Matt convinced me to revive the song.

“He must have been, what? About five years old when it came out?”

“Well…” Sellick chimes in. “I remember learning this tune the summer I turned 16. It was right when I started taking guitar really seriously, and it was one of those pieces that got me really excited to learn and find my own sound.

“It’s so exciting to revisit it, years later, and record it with Jesse himself!

“Teenage me would never have dreamed of this.”

2020 has been a year filled with milestones for Jesse Cook, most notably the 25th anniversary of his breakthrough release, Tempest and its title-bearing single.

He was initially set to mark the occasion with a 25-date cross-country concert special when the country shut down for COVID-19.

The unforeseen delay inspired Cook to pivot; he released a new version of “Tempest”— “Tempest 25”— the creation of which also served as an experiment of sorts along the way.

“The recording started as a simple idea,” he explains. “I’d use this pandemic time to record a new version of ‘Tempest’ and see if it would sound different.

“Have I changed as a musician, or as a producer?”

While the talent remains steadfast, the list of accomplishments and accolades continue to grow; Jesse Cook holds ten gold and platinum studio albums with combined sales exceeding two million copies, five concert DVDs and live discs, five PBS specials, multiple awards including a JUNO win, 11 nominations, three Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards, a Gemini Award, and an Acoustic Guitar Magazine Player’s Choice Silver Award — plus thousands of concerts around the world over and above millions of views and streams across platforms.

“When you write these things, at first, they’re like your kids,” Cook says, breaking down his songwriting process. “You think of them as yours.

“But then they grow up and start to live a life all their own. Other people record them, use them in their own work, or get married to them, live, celebrate, even heal to them.

“I’ve relished going back to this track and collaborating with Matt — both as a friend and a fellow artist.

“I think Matt is one of Canada’s finest flamenco artists today,” he continues. “I am so proud of the musician he has become, and feel honoured to have been an inspiration to him in some small way.

“Though… All this does make me feel really o-o-o-ld!”

Jesse Cook’s re-record of “Wednesday Night at Etric’s” featuring Matt Sellick is available now.

Hence, getting it yourself is always a better option so that you can check the fabric, color combination, and fitting, and choose the best option for yourself!

Now you might be wondering what things to consider when buying a new football jersey for yourself. So, here is the answer to it.

Things to consider when buying a football jersey

  • Type of jersey (Authentic vs. Replica)

Generally, there are three types of football jerseys available in the market.

On-field jersey

On-field jersey is the one with the highest quality! It is the one that athletes wear. This is why it is made up of the most advanced fabric and features the best sweat-absorbing technologies in it. Sizing comes with a numbered system for a perfect professional fit.

Authentic jersey

An authentic jersey is designed for the fans and is similar to the ones that professionals wear, except that they are much less costly. These jerseys are made from a mid-level fabric but still has a tailored fit. Most of the time, it is even hard to differentiate between the on-field jersey and an authentic jersey. They also feature lettering ad numbering. The sizes are the same as small, medium and large

Replica jersey

You can easily identify a replica jersey from its numbering and lettering style. These use screen-printed numbers and letters so it is very easy to find out if the jersey is authentic or a replica. Replica jerseys are made up of less durable material, hence they are light in weight and are available even at a very cheap price.

  • Fitting

Whenever you think of buying a jersey, the most important consideration must be fitting! A football jersey must fit perfectly on the body so that you are comfortable while wearing it. Generally, most of them follow this guide, but you must recheck the sizing detail of the jersey before you purchase one for yourself.

The Endnote

These two things are most important while getting a football jersey for yourself. Therefore, whether you buy from an online store or purchase it yourself from the market, make sure you keep them in a mind! Once you get the right fitting and the right fabric, you are all set to enjoy in your favorite league costume without any worries! So, good luck and happy shopping!
