There are many lessons to be learned in the practice of attending live rock shows. They include: "Don't drink too much if you've got a good spot in front of the stage, unless you plan to piss your pants" and "Don't wear your brand-spankin' new tour T-shirt at the gig because you'll look like a tool." The latest lesson to be...

Those hopes are dashed rather quickly, however, with the second track, the frothy faux string platitude...

Richard Ashcroft — Alone With Everybody

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) June 27, 2000 10:07 am
As hard as it is to believe, a long time ago I knew a score of rockers who preferred to drink and party with Guns 'N Roses' Lies, Lies, Lies as their soundtrack as opposed to the much more ballistic Appetite For Destruction. Now nobody's comparing Richard Ashcroft to Axl Rose, but there's a fairly compelling argument to be made that the ex-Verve...

Pittsburgh has declared Dec. 7 "Greg Gillis Day" (it's now a public holiday!) in honour of Girl Talk, who calls the city home. Excuse me, Rob Ford, where is our Rush Day in Toronto?

Evolve Festival organizer Jonas Colter was arrested by a Mountie in Halifax last weekend and charged $4,500 for postering. The Chronicle Herald Yellowcard are releasing a new album on Hopeless Records after a two-year hiatus. They'll continue to be overshadowed by more popular emo bands that no one gives a crap about, either. Alternative...

United Nations Of Sound (Richard Ashcroft's New Project) — "Are You Ready?"

in
By CHARTattack Staff January 19, 2010 1:30 pm
United Nations Of Sound is former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft's new project following the band's second breakup last year. It's full of soccer references (sorry, we mean FOOTBALL...) and I'm smiling at the thought that Ashcroft's a Man United fan, which probably really pisses Man City fans like Liam Gallagher off.

Pretty much everything Richard Ashcroft has done solo is kind of lame. This album is no exception.

When it comes to pop art, there's no contest for Richard Ashcroft — Brian Wilson trumps Andy Warhol every time. "Pop art is in its ultimate form in pop songs," says Ashcroft. "Andy Warhol never created anything on that level. "There's a communication on a mass level that art can't create. Now, the Beach Boys' 'God Only...
