Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl

Review by Cat Conway

"Hollaback Girl" sees Gwen Stefani getting a big lick off the Neptunes flavour at the Hot Producer Baskin-Robbins, delivering vocals that sound like she needs a Sudafed. Pharell Williams farts another number one.»

Review by Cat Conway

In winter the indie singles come out to be massive chart hits....»

Hard-Fi - Cash Machine

Review by Cat Conway

It's like mixing Blur, Pulp, The Specials, and Zane Lowe in a blender then pouring it through a sieve to remove the interesting bits.»

America or Buster

In Depth by Cat Conway

Those poor sods in Busted just can't catch a break. They finally get their chance to break America but after watching the final episode in MTV's documentary series America or Busted, two things become screamingly clear: they have what it takes to break the world's number one market but their label never gave them a chance.»

Blink 182 - Always

Review by Cat Conway

Fourth single from the epynomonous fifth album. If there is a way this song could rock harder I don't know what it is.»

Does the world really need a Stacey Q revival? No. It does not.»

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Siouxsie and the Banshees: The Authorised Biography

Nick Hornby - 31 Songs

Review by Cat Conway

They call it Songbook in the U.S.»

Andrew Loog Oldham - 2Stoned

Review by Cat Conway

The music fan’s library is ironic. While the music collection is a pristine archive of only the best and most pure specimens of whatever artists comprise the fan’s taste, books amassed on the subject are sometimes of poor quality, contradictory, or little more than ghostwritten»

Pink Floyd - Madcap

Review by Cat Conway

"If you can’t find any well-known Barrett tale here, then it probably didn’t happen, or is too trivial to mention." Thanks for coming out, Tim.»

Paul Du Noyer - Liverpool: Wondrous Place

Review by Cat Conway

On my first visit to Liverpool, my friends and I espied The Beatles Story on Albert Dock, and began the questioning: Where's the Echo and the Bunnymen Story? Where's the Lightning Seeds Story? Where's the Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark Story? Where's the Frankie Goes to Hollywood Story? Ha ha ha. But the qu»

Daniel Handler - The Basic Eight

Review by Cat Conway

From the author of A Series of Unfortunate Events comes The Basic Eight, yet another installment of gifted young adults getting away with murder (see Heathers, The Secret History). The book is structured on two levels: first, as protagonist Flannery Culp’s journal, read simultaneously as it is originally written, revis»

Shawn Levy - Ready Steady Go!: Swinging London and the Invention of Cool

Review by Cat Conway

For a few short years, in the aftermath of the second World War, America surrendered its identity as the centre of cool to what became known as Swinging London, the international hotspot for music, fashion, art, and film. The Sixties, as anyone over the age of fifty incessantly bangs into our skulls, was the moment whe»
