latest find – Plastic Operator

17 Thursday May 2007

I’ve come across a little gem of an album – Different Places by Plastic Operator (homepage, myspace).  If you can imagine early period Air (Premier Symptomes, Moon safari) combined with a slightly stronger beat and a little 80s synth in places then you’re getting the right direction.  You can hear a couple of the tracks on their myspace.

This is the debut album by Plastic Operator – yet has been well reviewed by Uncut and album of the week for Rough Trade when it was released (14th May 2007 in Europe).  If you’re really quick then you may get one of the signed copies if you purchase the album via their website (like Monster has).

“Not since The Postal Service have we heard an album that joins together electro and pop so perfectly.”
-Rough Trade Shop

Wolfgang Vault – trying establish it self as home of historic rock?

17 Thursday May 2007

 With Wolfgang Vault having acquired a large back catalogue of live performance recordings, posters and memorabilia with an emphasis on past classic artists such as Led Zeppelin etc it would seem that they are trying to consolidate this position further with the revival of Crawdaddy!

 

Crawdaddy was the first music journal started by Paul Williams. Crawddady predated the likes of Rolling Stone and Creem by several years and it helped to launch careers of music journalists such as Richard Meltzer. Crawdaddy’s creditability also attracted contributions from people ranging from John Lennon to Cameron Crowe and William Borroughs. 

 

Unfortunately Crawdaddy has had a turbulent existence with publication stopping briefly in 1969, but more notably in 1979 until Paul tried to revive it in with limited success in 1993. Paul sold the rights to the name to Wolfgang Vault but has writing credits with the first issue. Will Wolfgang Vault have any more success with Crawdaddy (even in its online only form)?
