Babyshambles released Shotter's Nation

2007-12-13T09:07:00.000-08:00

The new album of Babyshambles called Shotter's Nation was produced by Stephen Street and recorded at Olympic Studios in London, England.
In an interview with NME magazine, Pete Doherty said that The Strokes (and solo) guitar player Albert Hammond, Jr., plays guitar on the album. Doherty did not mention the track's name, but did say it was an extremely short three bars of music.

"Shotter's Nation is about smack, crack, Kate Moss, tabloid infamy, junkies and their flunkies, and what we think we know about Peter Doherty, as it has to be. It's also about love, loss, the British urban landscape, laughing at yourself, great guitars, exciting chord changes, tight rhythms, the Stones-Who-Kinks-(Small) Faces-Clash-Jam-Smiths-Happy Mondays-Stone Roses-Oasis-Blur history of Britrock, rich, simple production, songs with layers, a really good band and a singer who has relocated his voice."

killers released their SAWDUST

2007-12-07T09:01:00.000-08:00

Second album of killers isn't so good as first one, maybe their brand new album sounds better, althought it was compilated from rerecorded B-sides, rarities, covers and remixes... That fact hardly can make album better.  But i can't help to listen sawdusts of killer's music.
Leave the Bourbon On the Shelf, unreleased track from first album remember me old killers, as i know it's 3rd part of trilogy of 'midnight show' and 'Jenny Was a Friend of Mine'. Unfortunately track appeared only now. And certainly "Tranquilize", rapid hilarious song is really new for me.
