Since releasing \u003Cem\u003EEye to the Telescope\u003C\/em\u003E a year and a half ago, Tunstall's blend of folk rock with kooky edges, sung with a distinctive and often husky voice has become flavor of the month.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"fullpost\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"fullpost\"\u003EOne way Tunstall deals with the negative baggage of the 'Girl with the guitar' cliché is by working and touring at a rate that the fragile and whimsical Phoebe never could.

Staying in America on an expired visa, he survived by painting houses and driving trucks. Around this time he also met his future wife Bridget Regan, an accomplished Irish fiddle player, and other members of the band. Motivated more by homesickness and nostalgia for the traditional Irish music of his childhood than by any commercial ambitions, King started to play music that reflected both his Irish roots and hard rock background. \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cblockquote class=\"tr_bq\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;verdana\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"fullpost\"\u003E\"It was one of those light bulb moments,\" King recalled. \"It seemed like somebody switched on a light that lit up so many things.

After a few seconds of this avant-gardism, a burst of more conventional drums and guitar feedback arrives (in a production room package) and injects a surge of frenetic energy, after which a plodding but pleasant melody emerges as the guitars and drums are pushed up and down in the mix to maintain energy levels.

Because this music effectively signals three things: (1) avant-garde gesturalism, (2) commercial conservatism, and – most importantly of all – (3) a sense of claustrophobia, which I believe is the dominant note of all modern rock music. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe claustrophobia is the most important, so let’s deal with that first as all else flows from that. The real cause of this is the cultural “Super Gravity” of the GRAND TRI-DECADE.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Grand Tri-Decade refers to the Golden Age of rock and pop that covered the three decades of the 1960s, 70s, and the 90s. This was effectively a realization and exhaustion of musical possibilities that were themselves created by intensified cultural links and new technologies. To be young and musically talented in this era was to walk like a god among men, the epitome being David Bowie, who died earlier this year, and whose death brought these \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/the-revenge-of-riff-raff.blogspot.jp\/2010\/02\/album-review-gomez-in-our-gun.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Elong-harboured ideas\u003C\/a\u003E into \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/the-revenge-of-riff-raff.blogspot.jp\/2016\/01\/podcast-life-and-death-of-david-bowie.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Esharper focus\u003C\/a\u003E in my mind.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBy the 1990s all the low- and middle-hanging fruit had been picked and pulped and so music, rather than shooting onwards, felt a tug and an undertow that effectively dragged it back to the musical Super Gravity of the Grand Tri-Decade. Movements like Grunge epitomize this sense of undertow, while movements like thrash-metal were an attempt to achieve escape velocity by cannibalizing the ship. Folk metal, by contrast, was a recognition of the new curved space of the musical universe and an attempt to appear fresh by vaulting even further back than the proto-punk stylings of grunge. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AWiNL7uqChM\" width=\"525\"\u003E\u003C\/iframe\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAll bands today have to grapple with this problem of running out of musical road and then being pulled back into the force field of the Grand Tri-Decade. This creates a sense claustrophobia that sees them upping the volume, the production, the echo, the number of notes, and overdubs in a desperate attempt to find that edge where the fresh breeze of the universe blows in your face.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis note can be felt in \u003Ci\u003ESpirt Party\u003C\/i\u003E, where every attempt is made to make the song mutate into a growling guitar monster, without making it unlistenable. Back in the 80s musicians of this level of technical ability would have stumbled upon some much simpler and effective way of making their song stand out.

There is also the commercial gravity that comes with the Shrinking Watering Hole Syndrome – with so many more aspiring NEETS and so much less money available for bands – those talented few who can get a tiny taste of record company lucre feel the need to produce product that is not too left-field, thus limiting their ability to aim for the still remaining high-hanging fruit. \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/the-revenge-of-riff-raff.blogspot.jp\/2016\/03\/album-review-radiohead-amnesiac.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EThe trajectory of Radiohead\u003C\/a\u003E is revealing in this respect, as they leverage their diminishing commercial appeal to gain permission to aim for the high-hanging stuff, even though they never seem able to jump high enough. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis consciousness of being trapped by the combined force fields of the Grand Tri-Decade and the Shrinking Watering Hole Syndrome incline bands today to safe, little token touches of avant-gardism.

A remarkable achievement considering it was made by Americans. \u003Ci\u003EBad News\u003C\/i\u003E can be seen partly as a British answer to this, but its origins have more to do with Adrian Edmonson's interest in the metal genre.

Grantham! (This choice was hardly incidental as this small town is the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher). With Nigel Planner and Rik Mayall on board, the atmosphere and comedy is quite similar to \u003Ci\u003EThe Young Ones\u003C\/i\u003E. Edmonson as Vim Fuego plays a less exaggerated, more intelligent, but still brutally straightforward working class character, while Rik Mayall plays a cooler but still embarrassingly pretentious middle-class prat, Colin Grigson. Nigel Planner's Den Dennis is brilliantly mind-numbingly down-to-earth in a very British way (see the scene in the roadside cafe where he complains about his sausage and chips). The fourth member of the band, Spider, the drummer, played by \u003Ci\u003EComic Strip\u003C\/i\u003E producer, Peter Richardson, is the only one who wasn't in \u003Ci\u003EThe Young Ones\u003C\/i\u003E.

The high points are when Colin Grigson is tracked down to his 9-to-5, working-in-a-bank, middle class life and tries to wriggle out of this by pretending to be his own twin brother, and also the visual comedy of the video shoot for \u003Ci\u003EWarriors of Genghis Khan\u003C\/i\u003E.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe main interest this time round is the band playing the Monsters of Rock Festival at Castle Donnington. They were actually on the bill and got bottled off the stage. Guest appearances are made by Ozzy Osborne and Lemmy out of Motorhead, basically slagging them off.
