Hecklerspray’s Tuesday Tune Tangerine: New Pornographers, Minus The Bear, Josh Ritter

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh segments from the stone pips and skin of this week’s major label releases. Banks. Say what you like about them – that they’re malicious, predatory beasts whose owners derive actual, physical enjoyment from bullying scared old ladies – but they are kind to us once in a while. Which is [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Hole, Melissa Etheridge, Daddy Yankee

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Life is just one big game of  Whac-A-Mole. We get born, and up through a hole in a great big plastic machine in some celestial games-room pops a little furry head. At some point later on – it could [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Jeff Beck, MGMT, Murs & 9th Wonder

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. They say you should never meet your heroes; that they will always leave you underwhelmed and disappointed. And it’s true: we once ran into Frankie Boyle in a chip shop in Leicester. We made numerous attempts to goad him [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Bonobo, God Of War 3, Wu Massacre, Memphis The Musical, Lady GaGa

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Things are a little different this week. For some reason, there are quite a few good albums being released in the next few days, so instead of the usual three reviews, we’re going to have… well, we’re not sure [...]

Review: OK Go – Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 13/01/10

by David Scarborough

OK Go, the funky fashionable band whose music explodes as much as their music videos captivate millions on YouTube, are currently on tour in the UK. Playing Shepherd’s Bush Empire on January 13, this intrepid hecklerspray writer braved the doom-laden weather and went along to see them kick ass. Unfortunately, we missed the opening act [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Sigh, The Doughboys, Ringo Starr

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. It’s Monday. Just another plain old Monday. Another day of sighs, cries and whys. Why, dear God? Why would you do this to mankind, the very fruits of your celestial loins? Why would you torture us so, when we [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Katharine McPhee, Ke$ha

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Look, treat us easy, okay? We’ve overdone it a little bit on all the good stuff that’s bad for you. The wine, the eggnog, the…gingerbread? Seriously? Whatever, point is we’re barely up for this at the moment. But that’s [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: James Horner, Caroline Herring, Morphine

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. Christmas is almost here. We can feel it coming by the nip in the air; we can smell it coming by the everywhere-scent of cinnamon; we can see it coming in the wide-eyed desperation of parents trying to locate [...]

Hecklerspray’s Monday Music Mango: Hollywood Undead, Jimmy Buffett, Snoop Dogg

by Paul Gibson

Separating the sweet, juicy flesh from the stone and skin of this week’s major label releases. We have spent the last week playing with a three-inch remote controlled helicopter. It taught us two lessons. Firstly, three-inch remote controlled helicopters can be “awesome” (us) or “so scary I did a wee and some poop at the [...]
