“ The Clash unclenched their jaws and dug deep into their roots: anti-fascist brigades and hellish visions of London; gentrification and consumerism; reggae, rockabilly and “Stagger Lee.” They’d once declared war on rock’s heritage, but now they embraced it with a vigor born of the mosh pit. ”]]> Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:22:30 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/the-clash/london-calling http://www.jukepod.fr/franz-ferdinand/franz-ferdinand

“ Fearsomely post-post-punk, appealingly brazen, and ambitiously tight, they have indeed made The Album That Saved Indie. ”]]> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:13:01 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/franz-ferdinand/franz-ferdinand http://www.jukepod.fr/radiohead/isnt-anything

“ In rock algebra you might deduce that they'd worked out some new equation involving the barbed languor of the Mary Chain, the speedfreak urgency of Sonic Youth, and a dash of the Vaselines' sauce - but none of that accounts for the savagely sensual results. ”]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:06:51 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/radiohead/isnt-anything http://www.jukepod.fr/m-i-a/kala

“ Kala is an intoxicating junk-culture travelogue, a genre-humping mash-up of Bollywood rumbles, shrieking guitars and machine-gun rhymes. ”]]> Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:06:15 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/m-i-a/kala http://www.jukepod.fr/serge-gainsbourg/rock-around-the-bunker

“ Spy themes, pop hooks, rolling rhythms, and killer choruses — all the tricks of Gainsbourg's trade are here. ”]]> Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:21:33 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/serge-gainsbourg/rock-around-the-bunker http://www.jukepod.fr/arcade-fire/funeral

“ Encompassing chamber pop melodies, angular art-rock, lavish orchestration and post-punk vocals. ”]]> Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:18:13 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/arcade-fire/funeral http://www.jukepod.fr/xtc/drums-and-wires

“ Art-rock marries pop hooks and begets "Making Plans for Nigel". Proof positive that Brits can do cerebral funk without sacrificing blood, breath or buoyancy. ”]]> Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:05:44 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/xtc/drums-and-wires http://www.jukepod.fr/fever-ray/fever-ray

“ Even when you can't quite understand what she's on about, you are happily lured into a world where classic myth yearns for modern ritual, and you're quite happy to be in a place nobody will quite understand. ”]]> Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:04:12 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/fever-ray/fever-ray http://www.jukepod.fr/pink-floyd/the-wall

“ The Wall — built around a disillusioned rock star with a troubled past — spread its bile over four sides of vinyl. Waters’ diatribe picks an assortment of targets: World War II, the death of his father, the British education system, groupies, drugs, idiot rock stars. ”]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 14:56:00 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/pink-floyd/the-wall http://www.jukepod.fr/joanna-newsom/ys

“ It’s a vivid and beautiful painting that you can walk into; a magic window into another world that I'd be happy to get lost in, and never come back. ”]]> Sun, 30 May 2010 14:55:34 +0000 Jeremy Thomas http://www.jukepod.fr/joanna-newsom/ys
