Tim Burgess will release his new solo album As I Was Now as part of Record Store Day 2018 (April 21st). As I Was Now was recorded recorded in Cheshire between December 28th and December 31st 2008. Listen to “Inspired Again” here.
On November 16th, 2017 Tim Burgess tweeted, asking his followers who they would recruit if they were putting together a band: “Who would you have in your supergroup? Excluding The Charlatans, mine would be: Vocals: Me & Ladyhawke, Guitar: Josh Hayward (The Horrors) Keys: Martin Duffy (Felt/ Primal Scream) Bass: Debbie Googe (My Bloody Valentine) Drums: Steffan Halperin (The Chavs/Klaxons).” The difference was that Tim’s band was not only a real band but they had also recorded As I Was Now.
“It was snowing, Josh had to get back (to London) for New Years Eve,” recalls Burgess. “We were complaining about how boring things were between Christmas and New Year, so we got together to record some songs. It was back then. Not now. Some songs were more complete than others, others appear on this record more finished than others.”
Tracklisting:
Clutching Insignificance
Just One Kiss (One Last Kiss)
Many Clouds
Nik V
Inspired Again
Another Version Of The Truth
Not Buying
The Savages

I’m late to the party, I know, I just found out about Lucas The Spider, and got through all the videos in a few minutes, laughing hard enough to watch them all over again. In the latest episode Lucas the Spider finds what he suspects may be a polar bear.
Field Trip, Toronto’s essential downtown music and arts festival, returns for its sixth year Saturday and Sunday June 2 and 3. The unofficial kick off to the city’s summer festival season represents a half-decade tradition of world-class music and arts programs inside the beautiful, Historic Fort York & Garrison Common.
Driven by a love of community and discovery, Field Trip 2018 again welcomes an incredible array of musical performances, family / all-ages programming, comedy and more. All the music, food, drink and activities integrate with collaborative explorations on themes of visual art, technology, fashion and beyond.
Field Trip’s one-of-a-kind immersive, intergenerational play space – the beloved Day Camp – will stage its biggest program yet with full programming to be announced in the coming weeks. As with every Field Trip, children 12 years old and under are admitted for free with an accompanying adult ticket purchaser. In addition to Day Camp, the historic Fort York will be brought to life with collaborative visual art installations from emerging Toronto creatives.
“Field Trip promises something for all of us. We challenge ourselves to improve the diversity and creativity of our offerings every year, but our deep connections to the City of Toronto and its creative communities remain unchanged,” said Field Trip Producer Aaron Miller.
“Fort York is an amazingly intimate site – the ability to stage an event like this in the heart of one of North America’s best and biggest cities makes Field Trip a weekend event unlike any other.”
All Field Trip 2018 tickets go on sale Friday, March 9 @ 10AM ET at FIELDTRIPLIFE.COM.
Stay tuned for more announcements on Field Trips family, comedy and food programs in the weeks to come.

Every year, Jon Snow describes a popular song for the Big Fat Quiz of the Year and it shouldn’t be compared to the original, and in some cases, it’s even better. No one will be inviting him to Coachella – although they should – so here’s the past videos from Jon Snow Dance Party:
Drake – Hotline Bling
Taylor Swift – Look What You Made Me Do
The Weather Girls – It’s Raining Men
The B-52s – Love Shack
Justin Timberlake – Can’t Stop the Feeling
Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass
A day before the 21st anniversary of the release of Pop, U2 announced the release of three new vinyl reissues from the group – Pop (1997), Wide Awake In America (1985) and All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000).
Remastered and pressed on 180gsm vinyl, each reissue includes a download card and faithful reproduction of original artwork and will be released on April 13.
All That You Can’t Leave Behind, the band’s tenth studio album, garnered multiple Grammy awards following its release in October 2000 and shot to #1 in 32 countries. Produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and recorded in Dublin (HQ, Windmill Lane, Westland and Totally Wired) and the South of France, it includes the singles Beautiful Day, Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of, Elevation and Walk On. The artwork comprises a 16-page booklet featuring lyrics and photography by Anton Corbijn.
Pop, U2’s ninth studio album, which reached #1 in the UK, US, Ireland and 26 other countries around the world following its release in 1997. Produced by Flood, with Howie B and Steve Osborne, the album was recorded in Dublin (Hanover Quay, Windmill Lane, The Works) and Miami (South Beach Studios). It features the singles: Discothèque, Staring At The Sun, Last Night On Earth, Please, If God Will Send His Angels and Mofo.
Wide Awake In America is a four-track half live/half studio EP from 1985. Originally released only in North America and Japan, it was subsequently re-released internationally in the late 1980s. Side A features live performances of A Sort Of Homecoming and Bad from UK shows on The Unforgettable Fire tour in late 1984. Side B features two B-sides from the 12” single of The Unforgettable Fire – The Three Sunrises and Love Comes Tumbling.
