Broke Down Turntable: Ask A Policeman

Quick. Name a band from the Isle of Man. Situated in the Irish Sea between Eire and the UK the island is mostly know for its furry mouse eating creatures with missing tails and a circuit for motor racing. Broke Down Turntable hopes to prove to the world that quirky pop music can be added to this rather short list. Their album Ask A Policeman is so lo-fi that you could have recorded it your self. Listening to the tracks makes you feel like you have been strapped on the buddy seat of a not particularly well maintained motorbike. Even the smoother songs are bumpy and you seem to hitting every discarded bottle that was thrown out of a car.

Broke Down Turntable is trio consisting of Mike Seed and the married couple Simon Pott and Elizabeth Pott. Fun comes howling from your speakers with all out noisy tracks like Mr Chiseljaw. They have a soft spot too, with the almost tender Clean White Sheets. Hit shuffle and the album might start with Me Versus The King, a song that could have been dreamed up by a very drunk Ian Anderson. Manc madness? Let's settle for guerrilla folk.

Kurt Cobain: $ 100,000 for a smashed up guitar

Kurt Cobain

How much would you pay for a seriously damaged guitar? A 100,000 dollars ....

A smashed guitar that belonged to the late Kurt Cobain has sold for $100,000.

As reported by Yahoo Music, the smashed Fender Mustang -- which was used by Cobain on Nirvana’s first U.S. tour -- was purchased by an unidentified collector. The seller was a punk guitarist named Sluggo (a member of the band The Grannies and Hullabaloo), who traded Cobain a working guitar for the damaged instrument at a time when the Nirvana frontman was living hand-to-mouth. Cobain had smashed the guitar on-stage and was looking for a replacement to play at the group’s next gig.
