If you were ever into the shoegaze music scene back in the early 1990's, you're probably familiar with the band Ride and their legendary label Creation Records. A documentary about the label, Upside Down: Story of Creation Records, was just released in the U.K, and the label's founder, Alan McGee, has been doing a lot of publicity for the release. He recently wrote a piece about Ride for Rhino Records, who released a 20th anniversary edition of Ride's classic cd, Nowhere. Check out the piece, "Alan McGee on Ride" here. What's interesting is McGee declares Ride's classic song, "Leave Them All Behind" and "D'You Know What I Mean" by Oasis to conceptually be the same song. Check out both songs below and see what you think. Unfortunately the version of "Leave Them All Behind" is an edit of the powerful 8 minute album version, but hopefully you'll get the picture.
If you're interested in Upside Down: Story of Creation Records, it will be released on import in North America on May 17th, as will the double disc soundtrack. Check out the soundtrack's impressive tracklisting here.
One last tidbit for Ride fans. Ride's Mark Gardener and Andy Bell reviewed the band's entire catalog here.

David Gahan and Warped Tour organizer Kevin Lyman were honored last night for several years of sobriety at the 7th annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert. The annual concert raises money for MusiCares, which provides musicians access to addiction recovery. Gahan, introduced by Steven Tyler, spoke at the event, then later performed a set of covers. Martin Gore joined Gahan onstage to perform the Depeche Mode classic, "Personal Jesus." Jane's Addiction and Paramore also performed live sets. Read more about the event here, and watch video from last night below:

An Elliott Smith documentary is set to debut at a film festival in Los Angeles soon. Read an interview with the film's director, Gil Reyes here. Interestingly, Smith's music does not appear in the documentary. His family did not grant permission for the music to be used because the film included Smith's girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba. Chiba was involved in the open investigation into Smith's death which was initially reported as suicide and later questions were raised about possible homicide. Read more about the circumstances surrounding Smith's death here, and here's the autopsy report from the Smoking Gun.
Check out some previously unreleased songs from Smith on TwentyFourBit.com. And enjoy a few songs below:
