In November 1989, two bands from Manchester appeared together on Top of the Pops and it changed indie music forever. The Madchester sound was the unity of jangly guitars and thumping dance music: big, psychedelic, even funky and a perfect companion to taking Ecstasy. Artists like The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, A Guy Called Gerald, 808 State and The Charlatans would bridge this formerly insurmountable musical gap.

It is the story of punk and disco colliding, how Manchester became for a brief moment the centre of the musical universe, and why Bez is one of the most important figures in British music. This is Before 1989: How Manchester Became Madchester.

TayTay is popular. The singles charts are fucked.

It's weird that Kylie's Impossible Princess (first released in 1997) is that high in the charts. I checked out why.

Nu-metal fans, are you ready? System of a Down, Korn, Deftones, Chevelle, Evanescence, Incubus and dozens of other bands are playing a brand new music festival called Sick New World that's set to go down May 13th at the Las Vegas Fair Grounds in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Essentially the metal, industrial and goth version of this year's emo-focused When We Were Young Festival, Sick New World's gigantic lineup also boasts bands like Mr. Bungle, Turnstile, Sisters of Mercy, Melvins, Ministry, Papa Roach, Coal Chamber, Sevendust, Cradle of Filth, Spiritbox and Flyleaf, who've reunited with OG vocalist Lacey Sturm to play this show.

That only scratches the surface of the number of bands on insanely fucking stacked bill. Ticket pre-sales go live this Friday, November 11th, at 1 p.m. EST, and you can see the full lineup below.

You can never be DPad's woman.

A song made on the Atari ST. Which probably makes it one of @HariSeldon's fave songs.
 


For many, the commercial breakthrough of emo-pop of the mid-00s was all about the bombast of My Chemical Romance, the wordplay of Fall Out Boy and the theatre of Panic! At the Disco. But fifteen years later, Paramore are the band whose impact is the most visible.

Singer Hayley Williams' female point of view and impressive voice proved to be much needed in the sea of dramatic boys falling apart to songs about hips and hearts. To the pity party, Paramore brought a barrage of solid-gold anthems, recalling the best of Jimmy Eat World, with choruses that, rather than bitterly commiserating, uplifted and consoled. However over the years, their biggest hit proved to be contentious. This is the story of Paramore and their Uneasy History with "Misery Business."

Emo is tough to define. As Andy Greenwald wrote in Nothing Feels Good: "Emo means different things to different people. Actually that's a massive understatement. Emo seems solely to mean different things to different people." For the most part it's more of an insult than a genre, and because of this, no band willingly considers themselves Emo.

However at its essence, it's an offshoot of punk that is in touch with its more introspective feelings. Maybe the guitars twinkle, maybe the guitars smash you over the head. The key element is there needs to be emotion, sung from the very bottom of their heart. But how did it get from its original emotional hardcore guise to the music featured on The OC? What were the essential steps along the way? And why is My Chemical Romance referred to as Emo? This is How Emo Became Emo.

Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Tupac etc. will probably be making comebacks soon with this tech.
 


What is Industrial? In its original form it was an aggressively mechanistic and uncompromising sound formed of tape-loops, samples, often self-made synths and electronics. Bands like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Nurse With Wound and Einstürzende Neubauten produced avant garde noise that thumbed its nose at pop music as a production line and made sounds from the literal tools of production.

But how did it get from its pipe-bashing, static-cloaked anti-music guise to the music soundtracking in the club scenes in The Matrix? What were the essential steps along the way? And how did Nine Inch Nails force Industrial into the charts? This is How Industrial Became Pop.
