Suede - Dog Man Star - Coming Up

I'm currently counting the days, almost hours, until the gigs at Brixton Academy this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Amazing it will be, I'm sure of it!

Here's an article from Beat; an interview with Brett.

Brett on Jools

It's a very short interview, but you get to see the reissues, that's something.. How I would love to have them now...

Words

"But I'm confident there will be a sixth Suede album. I am. I am going to put all of my energy into making a fantastic record. And when I put all of my energy into something, it tends to happen."

This quotation is of course from Mr Anderson, and you can read the whole interview done by BBC America here.

Suede: Slightly restless euphoria, yet another interview with Brett. This one is different though, it's about music, art and more... and I like it.

Whipsnade

This past Saturday Suede played their first show for many years in the U.S.; you can find some footage from it on the web.

Amongst some youtube videos I found this interview with Brett and Simon. The sound quality is really poor, but apart from that I think it's a good interview. And I must say I like the interviewer's top three Suede songs. It's not often I hear Whipsnade being mentioned as a favourite and I’m also a fan of that song. It's in part therefore I've used lyrics from it to name my other blog: 'While pylons hide the suicide'.

The interview from Coachella:

My heart needs a love dance

Since I don't live in the U.K., I don't have the opportunity to run from record store to record store this Record Store Day to find this beautiful 7" Suede vinyl...

Because of this, I simply lose myself in some other music than Suede today. I listen to gimmeindie.se, or why not this lovely video to You Say Party's 'Laura Palmer's Prom':

If anyone's missed it, Suede are now on Twitter!

Dates to keep in mind

This summer's going to be something special for Suede fans. Even though many hard core fans have collected most of the available material (and even material not available) this release of the remastered records and the additional material (e.g. Love & Poison finally on DVD) should include something extra for the most of us.

Check out these links to Suede's webpage to read the full content of the releases (and preorder):

on May 30 Suede
on June 6 Dog Man Star
on June 13 Coming Up
on June 20 Head Music
on June 27 A New Morning

And before these releases we have the concerts at Brixton Academy on May 19, 20 and 21 to look forward to. Suede playing their first three albums, one each night. And, Chapel Club warming up the audiences beforehand. It sounds fantastic.

I do have a three-night-pass but I'm not sure I will be able to go to London. However, I will certainly try.

Gimme Indie

There is this site that you must visit if you have a somewhat love for indie music, like I do. Here's some info for you: www.gimmeindie.se

There you'll find:

• web radio playing a mix of good indie music,
• live shows aired directly to your computer (or iphone),
• a back catalogue of previously aired live shows that you can listen to again.

If that's not enough, you'll also find great tips about new interesting music.

The site's in Swedish yes it is, but don't let that stop you. There are tweets in English that you can follow!

It's hard to believe that there is only one man behind this site. Read about him here!

Production

Found this interview with Ed Buller via the Suede forum, and I think it'll be a nice read in between the Christmas celebrations.
