Before the internet and the era of reprints, when musical knowledge traveled via radio, word of mouth and magazine articles and fanzinesa list of more than two hundred names took on a legendary role – albeit in a very narrow niche – for its ability to lead to the discovery of music out of the ordinary, extremely heterogeneous and reluctant to be labeled according to any genre criteria. This is the list included in the liner notes of “Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella”, the first album by British experimenters Nurse With Wound,…

The history of musical genres and categories is very rarely linear. The events of pop are full of bizarre terms born in reference to specific phenomena, then extended to entire strands, and often finally entered into the vocabulary of artists-public-critics with a meaning completely different from the original one. Typically, the first steps of this tortuous path take place “live” with respect to the musical events described. However, there are also retroactive labels, and the case of “Zolo” is certainly among the most peculiar. You could define it as the genre — sorry, the non-genre — weirder than pop. A…

The world of pop music and that of sport, in particular that of “ball”, are inextricably linked. Certainly also because of the homeland of football, the United Kingdom, where the passion for football and that for rock have coexisted for decades, with many rock stars who make no secret of their fever for football and often transmit it in their compositions. An example above all is that of the writer who more than anyone embodies both the music addicts and the most die-hard football fans. That Nick Hornby who wrote a bible for each of the two categories: “Fever Pitch”…

The South Asian diaspora witnessed a wave of musical innovation in the early 1980s, producing a number of records that would go on to earn landmark status. In Calgary, recent college graduate Rupa Sen was visiting her brother when composer Aashish Khan heard her singing and asked her to provide vocals for what would become Disco Jazz, a frenzied disco-rock-funk record that would eventually gain a following via YouTube’s suggested videos feature in the mid-2010s.
