Anne T Donahue
An escapee of a small suburban hockey town, Anne has gone on to write for AUX, CHARTattack, NME and BITE, and can also be seen writing the occasional fashion piece. (She's still unsure how the last one happened.) Thanks to her family, she became a music snob quite young, and continues to blame her uncle's jukebox for a lifetime spent over-romanticizing past decades.

Last week, Nelly's stop at the Sierra Blanca border in Texas came to an end when his tour bus was allegedly found to be containing guns, marijuana and heroin.
However, more shocking than the contents of Nelly's bus (and the fact that he's still getting gigs) is that he's not alone in having his joyride go wrong. Not only ...

The London Olympics and their Paul McCartney-fronted opening ceremonies are over, and we're now deep into the actual competition (Have you watched handball yet?).
And while montages set to the "Chariots of Fire" theme may be the first image that comes to mind in times like these -- and perhaps the Belle and Sebastian "The ...

As the Horrors emerge from their crypt with third full-length Skying in hand, the British five-piece claim they've fallen victim to the international music press.
"Can we talk about how lazy most journalists are?" keyboardist Tom Furse asks Spinner. "Because that's probably the reason everything you read is the same opening ...

Mark Sultan does whatever he wants, whenever he wants. At least that's what the Montreal garage rock enthusiast sometimes known as BBQ (but no longer part of King Khan and BBQ Show) says when asked about his new and aptly titled vinyl albums, 'Whatever I Want' and 'Whenever I Want,' as well as in a recent blog post.

The times they are a-changing. At least that's what the assumption is after the Horrors' third full-length release, 'Skying,' debuted at No. 5 on the British Top 40 charts in July.
"It was just for a week," keyboardist Tom Furse tells Spinner. "But it was a small victory."
"We were up there with some really strong women," ...
