How Dr Who Also Leads to New Music

Tuesday, November 18, 2008 - 06:30 PM

Do you remember, last week, when I mentioned that it was my English buddy Jon who introduced me to Doctor Who? He e-mailed me the other day to remind me that I actually asked, when he was first explaining the show: "...So, there's been all these Dr. Whos, right? Do they elect a new one, or what?"

(Fantastic. I must've sounded so, so lame.)

Also! Jon let me know that his band Burningpilot has a new album out of indie-disco synth-rock, titled "Cold Caller". The last time I was in England, Jon was in the studio working on it, so I'm excited to see it hitting iPods everywhere.

Here are some reviews of it:

"The newcomers are burning bright on the dancefloor with this Talking Heads-meets-Franz indie disco blaster" - NME Magazine

"Two songs in and you're thinking: this, with its art-rock music, Mark E Smith vocals and William Orbit synthy sounds, is the future of indie-disco" - The Independent

"First-rate synth rock" - The Big Issue

"Burningpilot favour a metallic, Eighties rush of sound, throwing out echoes of The Fall, The Stranglers and general post punk desolation and fizzing synths. The band do a sterling job of setting out their stall, showcasing all that's good about Burningpilot on these ten tracks that justify the rush for their previous sold out singles. 8/10" - Clash Magazine

If you're interested in checking out their sound, you can head over to iTunes or Play.com. (My favorite tracks are "Accelerate", "Moving Models", and "Case History".)

3 SHELDON: Ya gotta understand: Trek has been putting out some terrible stuff lately. "Enterprise" had all the excitement of an old folks home. And the only people who went to see "Star Trek Nemesis" was the crew who worked on it. It's been awful.

4 SHELDON: But this trailer, this movie, ...it might change all that.

5 SHELDON: It could even be the movie that makes it COOL to be a Star Trek fan!!!
NARRATOR: But it won't. The end.
