Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers declared dead

While this happened a few days ago, it’s only just been brought to my attention. 13 years on from his disappearance, Richey Edwards of Manic Street Preachers has been declared dead. While it’s really just a legal status at this point, I’m still finding this incredibly depressing. Part of me has always lived in the […]

I feel like the world’s biggest traitor… Coldplay vs. Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

William Fitzsimmons – The Sparrow & The Crow

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, in the BBC Studios

So this past Saturday, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals appeared on BBC Radio 2’s Dermot O’Leary show… and man, what a treat we were in for. It was a short and sweet slot, with only 2 interview segments, and two songs, but those two songs were pure magic. The first was the always-stunning “Fix It” […]
