The Cribs: 'The Sex Pistols are sexually fantastic'

The Cribs played a raucous afternoon set at the Isle Of Wight festival this afternoon (June 14) at which they described The Sex Pistols, who are set to headline the festival later tonight, as "sexually fantastic".

The sunny weather brought out a typically high-octane performance from the Wakefield trio, with bassist Gary Jarman ending the set by hurling his bass guitar into drummer Ross Jarman's drum kit.

Watched from the side of the stage by singer Ryan Jarman's girlfriend Kate Nash and The Enemy's Tom Clarke, the band played a set including hits 'Hey Scenesters', 'Moving Pictures' and 'Men's Needs'.

Before playing 'Mirror Kissers' Ryan Jarman told the crowd about his night out the previous evening. "We went to a karaoke bar," he told the audience. "When we were singing songs we thought we were going to get our heads kicked in. So it's nice to sing some songs here without fear of getting our heads kicked in."

After playing 'Another Number' later in the set the singer/guitarist paid tribute to The Sex Pistols, who will grace the stage tonight. "We played with them before," he told the crowd, referring to the support slots they played with the punk legends recently. "They were sexually fantastic".

Two songs later, as set-closer 'The Wrong Way' reached its death, Gary Jarman threw his instrument a full ten feet in the air before it crashed down on his brother's drum kit. Ryan Jarman, meanwhile, knocked over an amp stack with his guitar before thanking the crowd and heading off stage.

The Cribs played:

'Our Bovine Public'
'Hey Scenesters'
'Don't You Wanna Be Relevant?'
'My Life Flashed Before My Eyes'
'Women's Needs'
'Moving Pictures'
'Mirror Kissers'

Autamata - Colours Of Sound

Ireland has never been a fertile hunting ground for electronica lovers. Whereas over the water there have always been a myriad of bands and producers bubbling away, you'd struggle to think of any Irish act that's made any significant impression over the past decade.
'Colours Of Sound', the third album released by Autamata, also known as Ken McHugh, should do its bit to redress that balance. Four years since debut album 'My Sanctuary' and two years after 'Short Stories', 'Colours of Sound' finds Mr McHugh in an up-beat and positive mood.
The band's first two releases were subsequently raided for film soundtracks and TV ads and it wouldn't come as a big surprise if the same was done for this one. Painting soundscapes is what Autamata seem to have a knack for, and tracks like 'Inter-railing', 'Watching the World Go By' and 'A Drive through the Countryside' with their themes of travel could be the perfect accompaniment for long bus journeys.
When it's turned up a notch however, the band truly gets into their swing and get feet tapping. 'What You All About', 'Come Party at my House' and in particular 'Music's All We Need' all benefit from the increase in tempo.
Earlier incarnations of Autamata contained the notable vocals of Cathy Davey. Now a successful artist in her own right, Davey guests on 'Cloud-Seekers', a hectic two minute forty three seconds of electro-pop which despite the catchy verses is let down by the chorus.
Elsewhere on the album, opening track 'Effervescent' does its best to lull the prospective listener into a false sense of security, a wispy instrumental with a decent melody, you get the feeling it could have better served the album appearing at the end.
Strings, provided by the Cora Venus Lunny Violin Orchestra, and McHugh's own talents as a multi-instrumentalist combine well, particularly on the last two songs of the album.
Irrepressively up-beat in nature, 'Colours Of Sound' is a solid album, made all the more commendable for the lonely task of flying the flag of Irish electro-pop.

Nine Inch Nails confirms lineup for summer outing

Trent Reznor has confirmed the Nine Inch Nails [ tickets ] touring lineup that he will take on the road this summer to support the recently released four-CD "Ghosts I-IV."

James Garner undergoes surgery after stroke

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor James Garner, best known for starring in the classic television series "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files," underwent surgery this week after suffering a minor stroke, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

Garner, 80, who built a six-decade career playing ruggedly charming, good-natured anti-heroes, suffered a stroke at home last Friday and was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital, publicist Jennifer Allen said.

The actor underwent surgery on Sunday, and his prognosis following the operation was described as "very positive," Allen said, adding that Garner's vital signs were good and that he was conscious and "responsive."

Allen said Garner was expected to be discharged from the hospital soon, but she had no further details about the circumstances of Garner's stroke or his condition.

Garner gained stardom in the late 1950s as the wisecracking gambler and ladies' man on the TV western "Maverick." He left the ABC show in 1960 in a contract dispute with producers but brought his "Maverick"-like persona to a series of films, including "Thrill of It All," "Move Over, Darling," "The Great Escape" and "Support Your Local Sheriff!"

Garner scored another TV hit in the 1970s, starring as canny private detective Jim Rockford, a wrongly accused ex-convict starting life over in a beachfront trailer home, on NBC's "The Rockford Files."

The role earned Garner an Emmy Award in 1977, his only victory in a dozen TV acting nominations. He also received an Oscar nomination for his work opposite Sally Field in the 1985 feature comedy "Murphy's Romance."

He received the Screen Actors Guild's highest honor, a life achievement award, in 2004. In his most recent film role, Garner played a wealthy grandfather in the 2006 film adaptation of the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift.

Brad Grey - Movie Boss Praises Iron Man Downey Jr

Paramount Pictures boss BRAD GREY has praised ROBERT DOWNEY JR. for overcoming his personal problems and resurrecting his film career - insisting he is a real life IRON MAN.

The actor fought a well-publicised battle with drink and drugs throughout his adult life and the downward spiral culminated in a year-long spell in prison in 1999 for missing mandatory court-imposed drug tests.

But the star has since sorted his life out, kicking drugs and returning to mainstream cinema.

And his biggest blockbuster to date, this year's (08) Iron Man, has triumphed at the box office across the globe.

Studio head Grey insists Downey Jr.'s struggle proves he really is a superhero.

He tells New York gossip column PageSix, "As much as I admire (Downey Jr.) for the job he did in the film as an actor, the true Iron Man is (Downey Jr.) in his real life. He persevered and righted his life after some rough and trying years."
