Mudhoney : Live In Berlin, 1988 to be release on DVD
On November 13th, Mudhoney will release Mudhoney: Live In Berlin, 1988 on DVD via !K7 Records.
The footage, filmed by a professional camera crew at 1988′s Berlin Independent Days festival and only recently rediscovered, captures the Seattle Grunge band’ first ever performance on foreign soil. Playing as representatives of Sub Pop Records to a crowd of curious punters, critics and members of Europe’s independent music community, the show was also the first Grunge gig in Europe, laying essential groundwork for the genre’s subsequent global domination.
The official trailer (as seen below) for Mudhoney: Live In Berlin, 1988 provides a sneak preview of the over 40 minutes of concert footage from the history making show. Featuring one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll groups of all time at their very best, a glorious mess of flailed hair, acidic caterwaul, gnarly riffage and fried guitar skronk as Mudhoney tear through material from their epochal (but then unreleased) Superfuzz Bigmuff EP and eponymous debut album.
The DVD also features an exclusive bonus interview with Mudhoney front man Mark Arm, recorded especially for the release of the DVD this summer in Seattle. Liner notes for the DVD were written by renowned journalist Stevie Chick.

Smashing Pumpkins released “Panopticon” as “Oceania” 2nd single
Smashing Pumpkins recent released, Oceania made its debut last June and now the second single from the album titled “Panopticon” is primed and ready for radio airwaves.
The song, quickly heralded as an Oceania favorite by many critics, took a long time to develop, according to Billy Corgan. It started with a riff, but that’s where things got tricky. “It’s similar to ‘Quasar’ in that we had the opening riff and didn’t know what to do with it,” Corgan says. “It sat for a while, but everybody felt strongly about it. It had a, dare I say, ‘modern-feeling’ to it, but still in the style of guitar that I like to play.”
So how did the writing block come to an end? Corgan explains, “Ultimately, I just sat down and wrote the song on the piano.” He continued, “Sometimes, when you’ve got a riffy song, it helps to just play the chords with no rhythm, and then you hear the ‘song’ in it. It’s those very Paul McCartney/Wings-type chords – Broadway-type chords.”
The song has definitely struck a chord with music fans, and Corgan gives his take on the sound in the interview. “It goes from a very ‘majorly’ feel into something sorrowful, almost a Spanish feel,” said Corgan. “I don’t know how the heck I did that, but it’s one of my favorite things in the song, how you can keep the key but change the emotion.”
Smashing Pumpkins will be bringing ‘Panopticon’ and the rest of Oceania to the live stage. The band has committed to playing their new album in its entirety for one set followed by a second set of deep cuts and past hits. Listen to “Panopticon” below:
