Iceage are back!

Completely overshadowing some or other news announcement from a man named David this morning, Iceage have announced a vast array of tour dates accross the UK and Europe. As well as this, they are also streaming a new track, 'Coalition', from their forthcoming album 'You're Nothing', which I will be reviewing for Lineofbestfit.com soon and which, judging by the songs they played when I saw them in Brighton in November, is going to show a very pleasing progression from the Danes. 'Coalition', certainly, is ace, or life-affirming, or fierce, or something like that.

Take that Mr Bowie!

Listen to 'Coalition' here.

Captain Murphy: Flying below the Radar no longer.

Fantastic Mixtape Alert from Captain Murphy (who recently revealed himself as none other than the-Jimi-Hendrix-of-DJ-Shadows, Flying Lotus):
Here it is featuring a typically FlyLo-esque video montage of eighties cartoons, cult recruitment material and psychedelic laser magic: http://www.captainmurphy.xxx/

For more on FlyLo laser magic, see my Quietus review of Stephen Ellison's recent Troxy gig, complete with mindebending visuals: http://thequietus.com/articles/10760-flying-lotus-troxy-live-review 

Marching to Superfuzz: An Interview with Mudhoney's Mark Arm

Click here for my Quietus interview with Mudhoney's Mark Arm about the November release of Mudhoney Live: Berlin 1988, a DVD of their first overseas show.

"I don’t know if it was refreshing, it was just kind of funny, you know, we’ve been going quite some time. At this point I’m fifty fucking years old, I can’t quite move the same, you know? It’s like “oh wow, that’s a strong young lad!"
