DURAN DURAN MISS the CUT on NEW B-SIDE ALBUM Submitted By: Liquid Public Relations Wednesday, 16 July 2014 DURAN DURAN MISS THE CUT ON NEW B-SIDE ALBUM Submitted by: Liquid Public Relations Wednesday, 16 July 2014 Today we reveal the 21 tracks which our panel of experts, including Laura Mvula, Horace Panter from The Specials and Phil Etheridge from The Twang, have chosen for a unique virtual album of the best music to come from the West Midlands over the last six decades. There are, as you can see, a few surprise omissions, but some favourites in there too... *******STRICTLY EMBARGOED******* *******UNTIL 4PM, WEDNESDAY JULY 16th******* ULTIMATE WEST MIDLANDS ALBUM FEATURES BLACK SABBATH AND ELO; DURAN DURAN AND LED ZEPPELIN FAIL TO MAKE THE CUT #BsideBrum A diverse range of artists from Black Sabbath to Broadcast and from The Streets to Steel Pulse feature on a new 21-track virtual album showcasing the very best music from the West Midlands. Duran Duran, Led Zeppelin and The Move are three notable absentees from the playlist, which spans six decades and myriad genres including heavy metal, reggae, electronica, jazz, R&B, ska and pop. The album is the creation of B-side, a nationwide campaign by Visit Birmingham, the city’s official leisure tourism programme, to celebrate the musical creativity of the city region. It is available to hear at visitbirmingham.com/bside A long list of tracks was drawn up through public nominations, celebrity ‘selfies’ and suggestions on Twitter, which was then discussed and distilled into the final ‘album’ by a panel of industry experts, all of whom have a connection with the region. Laura Mvula, Horace Panter of The Specials and Pete Paphides were amongst the panel of singers, musicians and industry experts who met at Town Hall Birmingham on July 9th, to create the virtual album. BBC 6Music presenter Matt Everitt, who chaired the panel, said: “Birmingham’s musical output is often looked at in simplistic terms, but what we’ve tried to do (in my mind successfully) is capture some of the inventiveness, diversity, humour, passion and flair that the area has produced. “The remit wasn’t just to pay lip service to the obvious names, nor champion the unsung or promote the next generation – but to create a playlist of amazing music regardless of age or genre. A collection of songs that you’d love to listen to regardless of its geographical birthplace.” Laura Mvula said: “As a product of the city myself, I was delighted to be involved; I’ve learned so much – it’s been the ultimate music lesson – every school should have one of these!” Page 1 Visit Birmingham assembled the panel of musicians, writers, promoters and presenters, which also included Vix Vox (ViX and her MsChiefs and ex Fuzzbox) and Phil Etheridge from The Twang. Emma Gray, Director of Marketing Services at Visit Birmingham, said: “We feel the final B-side album perfectly reflects the region’s rich and diverse musical heritage, and shows that with artists including Lady Leshurr, Soweto Kinch and Laura Mvula, it is a hotbed of exciting new talent. “Music tourism is big business; in 2012 it was worth £119 million to the West Midlands economy and an incredible 50% of concert audiences came from outside the region – far higher than the national average of 41%.” B-SIDE: THE ALBUM Apache Indian – Arranged Marriage (1992) Hailing from Handsworth, Birmingham, one of the earliest UK artists of Asian origin to make an impact on the singles charts. Joan Armatrading – Love & Affection (1976) Only UK Top 10 hit for award-winning singer songwriter, who settled in Birmingham as a small child. Black Sabbath – War Pigs (1970) Opening track from the band’s second album, Paranoid. Broadcast – The Book Lovers (1996) Title track of EP from Birmingham indie electronic band, a favourite of the late John Peel. The Spencer Davis Group – Gimme Some Lovin’ (1966) Number two hit written by Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis and Muff Winwood and since covered by the likes of The Blues Brothers and Olivia Newton-John. The Devils – Barbarellas (2002) Electronic pop band formed by two of Duran Duran’s original line-up, Nick Rhodes and Stephen Duffy, the track tells the story of the Birmingham club where they played many early gigs. Dexys Midnight Runners – This Is What She’s Like (1985) Twelve-minute track from the ‘comeback’ album Don’t Stand Me Down. ELO – Mr Blue Sky (1977) Number 6 hit taken from the album Out of the Blue and a favourite of Birmingham City fans. Felt – Primitive Painters (1985) Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser guests on this mid 80s indie favourite. Fine Young Cannibals – I’m Not The Man I Used To Be (1988) Page 2 Top 20 single by trio formed by singer Roland Gift and two ex members of The Beat, Andy Cox and David Steele. Soweto Kinch – Jazz Planet (2004) Live favourite by Birmingham-based jazz sax player and rapper. Laura Mvula •– She (2013) One of the standout tracks from Birmingham-born MOBO winner’s debut album, Sing To The Moon. Musical Youth – Pass The Dutchie (1982) Multi-million-selling number one hit which is a cover of two songs, Gimme the Music by U Brown, and Pass the Kouchie by The Mighty Diamonds Ocean Colour Scene – The Day We Caught The Train (1996) Number four hit from the band’s second album, Moseley Shoals. Jocelyn Pook – Red Song (2001) Haunting track from Solihull-born composer best known for her score for Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. The Specials – Gangsters (1979) Debut single by ska revival favourites from Coventry and first release by the newly created 2 Tone Records. Steel Pulse – Handsworth Revolution (1978) Title track from their debut album, which reached number 9 in the UK charts. The Streets – Turn The Page (2002) Opening track of Birmingham-born Mike Skinner's debut album, Original Pirate Material. Torqux feat. Lady Leshurr – Blazin’ (2013) Rapper/singer from Solihull who collaborated with duo Torqux on this track from their debut EP. UB40 – One In Ten (1981) Top ten single from band’s second album Present Arms; the title is a reference to percentage of the workforce claiming unemployment benefit in the West Midlands in the summer of 1981. The Wonder Stuff – Caught In My Shadow (1991) Top 20 hit from Stourbridge band’s third album, Never Loved Elvis.

Page 3 Editors’ notes: Last year’s Wish You Were Here report by UK Music and Visit Britain revealed the ‘music tourism’ industry was worth an impressive £119 million to the West Midlands economy in 2012. The report also showed that an incredible 50% of concert audiences in the West Midlands are music tourists – far higher than the national average of 41%. Visit Birmingham Visit Birmingham is the city’s official leisure tourism programme for Birmingham, part of Marketing Birmingham’s destination marketing strategy. As one of the top visitor cities in the UK, attracting over 33.8 million visitors a year, Birmingham is a must-visit leisure destination for all. It is supported by the European Regional Development Fund, through the Investing in the City Region project. B-SIDE: FAQs How were the tracks chosen? The public were invited to submit suggestions via Twitter and VisitBirmingham.com/Bside to create a long list of over 150 tracks, which were then considered by the panel of experts at a special session on stage at Town Hall Birmingham on July 9th. From the long list, they chose 21 tracks which form the final ‘album’. What were the criteria? Tracks had to be by West Midlands artists and, in the opinion of the nominee, epitomise the diverse music of the region, past or present. I thought there were going to be 20 songs, not 21…? After several hours of deliberation and debate, the panel could not decide on the last two tracks from a choice of three, so opted to include all of them. In the tradition of all great albums, there is also a 22nd ‘secret track’. Who was on the panel? All panellists have both a connection to the West Midlands and the music industry – Birmingham-born Matt Everitt (ex Menswear and now BBC 6Music presenter) chaired the panel, which included singer Laura Mvula; Phil Etheridge (The Twang); Horace Panter (The Specials); music writer Pete Paphides; Vix Vox (ViX and her MsChiefs and ex Fuzzbox), Abigail Kelly (opera singer); Markus Sargeant (The Glee Club Birmingham); Craig Hamilton, (School of Media, Birmingham City University); Jez Collins (Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research, Birmingham City University). How many songs made the long list? Over 150 songs were suggested, with more than 80 different artists represented. No Duran Duran? No Led Zeppelin? Matt Everitt commented: “Hacking our long list down to just 21 songs was incredibly hard and we are expecting some quizzical looks when people realise Duran Duran and Led Zep aren’t present (our response Page 4 would be, the former’s roots are represented by a track from their original frontman about the band’s formation, and the latter were eschewed as they were as much the product of London as they were the Midlands) but we were collating something that would surprise people with songs that people didn’t even realise came from Birmingham. But there’s soul, reggae, pop, jazz, hip hop, indie, two-tone, britpop, metal and yes, Mr Blue Sky. What else could you possibly want?” How can people hear the album? Go to visitbirmingham.com/bside – due to licensing issues a handful of tracks are unavailable.

In her playing, singing, and writing, Stevens has a voice that can only be accurately described as her own. Her original music is hailed worldwide for its its intricate harmonies and rhythms subtly rooted in jazz and Irish Folk and West African music. Boundless in the elements from which she draws her inspiration, Stevens is known for her unique ability to craft exquisite and authentic compositions both for her own band, and for GRAMMY award winning artists who run the gamut of genre from Jacob Collier, to Michael League (Snarky Puppy), and most notably with folk legend David Crosby.

  • Wenn Das Telefon Nicht Stillsteht
    # 2020/28 dschungel https://www.jungle.world/artikel/2020/28/wenn-das-telefon-nicht-stillsteht Das neue Mixtape von The Streets Wenn das Telefon nicht stillsteht Von Jens Buchholz Eigentlich hatte Mike Skinner sein Musikprojekt The Streets für beendet erklärt, doch zusammen mit vielen Gastmusikern hat der britische Rapper jetzt neue Songs veröffentlicht. »Es ist nicht cool, mit 40 im Nachtclub stoned zu sein, aber es passiert halt!« Mike Skinner ist sich auch mit 42 noch treu. Besser bekannt ist er unter seinem Künstlernamen The Streets. Als das Online-Magazin laut.de ihn vor ein paar Jahren fragte, ob er Drogen nehme, war die Antwort ein schlichtes »Ja.« Aber Alkohol trinke er nur noch abends. Vielleicht heißt sein neues Mix­tape ja deshalb »None of Us Are ­Getting Out of This Life Alive«. Kein Album. Ein Mixtape. Die offizielle Diskographie von The Streets zählt zwei Mixtapes und fünf Studio­alben. Das neue Mixtape ist die erste offizielle Langveröffentlichung von The Streets seit 2011, zwischendurch erschienen nur immer mal wieder einzelne Tracks von ihm bei Twitter. Und obwohl Skinner die 40 überschritten hat, verheiratet und Vater ist, hat er immer noch den Finger am Puls der Zeit. Mit seinem Debüt »Original Pirate Material« erfand er 2002 sein eigenes Genre. »Für mich ist das britischer Rap«, meinte er ­gegenüber laut.de. »Allerdings nicht so, wie man ihn bisher kannte.« Mike Skinner wurde 1978 in London geboren. Seine Kindheit und Jugend verbrachte er in Birmingham. Mit 15 Jahren begann er, seine ersten eigenen Tracks zu basteln. Im Jahr 2000 veröffentlichte das Label Locked on Records seine erste Single »Has It Come to This«.

  • Sly & Robbie – Primary Wave Music

The pair began working together as a team in 1975 and they quickly became Jamaica’s leading, and most distinctive, rhythm section. They have played on numerous releases, including recordings by U- Roy, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture and Black Uhuru, while Dunbar also made several solo albums, all of which featured Shakespeare. They have constantly sought to push back the boundaries surrounding the music with their consistently inventive work. Dunbar, nicknamed ‘Sly’ in honour of his fondness for Sly And The Family Stone, was an established figure in Skin Flesh And Bones when he met Shakespeare. Dunbar drummed his first session for Lee Perry as one of the Upsetters; the resulting ‘Night Doctor’ was a big hit both in Jamaica and the UK. He next moved to Skin Flesh And Bones, whose variations on the reggae-meets-disco/soul sound brought them a great deal of session work and a residency at Kingston’s Tit For Tat club. Sly was still searching for more, however, and he moved on to another session group in the mid-70s, the Revolutionaries. This move changed the course of reggae music through the group’s work at Joseph ‘Joe Joe’ Hookim’s Channel One Studio and their pioneering rockers sound.
