              New album review: The Dream Syndicate – The Universe Inside

                Though they’re beloved Paisley Underground contemporaries of REM, The Dream Syndicate’s third album since their 2012 reformation sounds nothing like the Athens quartet. On opener The Regulator, an almost entirely…

                            Wendy James’ renaissance is one of the happiest recent pop rebirths. At their peak, her pin-up status meant Transvision Vamp were undervalued: hits like I Want Your Love and Baby…
