Come spin With Stephen Coates of The Real Tuesday Weld in Mashable’s Turntable.fm Room.

Coates will be hitting the decks between promoting his new album The Last Werewolf (appropriately, it’s supposed to be a full moon tonight). The disc is the soundtrack to a book by the same name, written by Glen Duncan.

This week’s picks include a young jazz bassist with an eye for classic pop
and a musical tale from the dark side.

The Real Tuesday Weld brings us a waltz, a torch song, a distorted blues, and a genuinely pretty love song. The album ends with a tune that sounds like it could’ve come from a James Bond movie, if 007 were fighting werewolves.

The album is The Last Werewolf, by The Real Tuesday Weld.
(Available at Amazon) – Picked by John Schaefer

The latest from Stephen Coates and his “Antique Beat” project takes its inspiration from “The Last Werewolf”, a novel by Coates’ childhood friend, Glen Duncan.

Campy werewolf numbers aside (a howling, bluesy tune called “Wolfman”? if you insist, Mr. Coates), the most interesting thing about this set is how much Coates continues to branch out beyond the hot-jazz-meets-trip-hop template that defined so much of his early work. “Love Lust Money” drops horns and filtered girl-group vocals (courtesy of the Puppini Sisters) into a full-blown house anthem; “Come Around”, with its gently strummed acoustic guitars, could pass for a Badly Drawn Boy ballad.

It can’t top 2007’s excellent “The London Book of the Dead”, but even a fair-to-middling Real Tuesday Weld album takes more intriguing twists and turns than most artists can muster. – AH

The life of U.K. musician Stephen Coates — AKA The Real Tuesday Weld — is full of surreal occurrences.

Like his ten-year-old whisper-sung ditty “I Love The Rain” suddenly coming to reanimated life in a recent Chevrolet commercial, sounding simultaneously vaudevillian-ancient and indie-scene fresh.

Not an easy task. But Coates seems hell-bent on climbing high creative peaks.

The Real Tuesday Weld’s just-released 19-track set, for instance is titled “The Last Werewolf — A Soundtrack,” and it does, indeed, provide genre-defying background music. But for a just-published book by Coates’ British novelist chum Glen Duncan, the great little lycanthropic romp “The Last Werewolf” from Knopf.

Not that Coates hasn’t colluded with the literary world before — in 2004, he composed another soundtrack for Duncan’s previous “I, Lucifer” book. And he also has three dirges on the new Chandler-esque private-eye video game “L.A. Noire.” And he opens the latest album with a blues-rocking “Wolfman” (which echoes the novel’s opening moments when wolfman Jake Marlowe is informed that he has, by virtue of a recent murder, just become the last of his kind — this ain’t no timid Lon Chaney slapstick) that segues down stylistic back alleys in “The Lupine Waltz,” “I Don’t Like It, I Love It,” and “(I Always Kill) The Things I Love.” Interspersed are snippets of book dialogue performed by Duncan and others, with vocal cameos from Joe Coles, The Puppini Sisters, Piney Gir and Pumajaw’s Pinkey Maclure.

But you don’t have to simply picture this collaboration in your mind’s eye — Duncan and Coates are currently on a book/album tour that brings them to San Francisco on Tuesday, July 19, for a 7 p.m. reading/signing/concert at City Lights Books and then Tosca Cafe across the street afterwards.

And if that doesn’t get the bloodlust out of your system, log on to www.tuesdayweld.com.

Today Stephen Coates from The Real Tuesday Weld tells us about “Tear Us Apart” from their brand new album “The Last Werewolf”, which is being released tomorrow! Here is the story:

“All the songs on The Last Werewolf album are inspired by Glen Duncan’s book The Last Werewolf, by its characters, relationships and situations. But they are also intended to communicate something wider, something more general and, despite the title, more human. In the case of ‘Tear us Apart’ I wanted to subvert the usual idea in pop songs that love does bad things to us – you know ‘only love can break your heart’, ‘love will tear us apart’ and so on.”

When done right, few things are as perfectly matched as a novel and its soundtrack. British band The Real Tuesday Weld, far from new to the multimedia collaboration scene, have produced an accompaniment to Glen Duncan’s ‘The Last Werewolf’.

The novel, described as “sexy, violent, and civilized,” centers on the titular werewolf discovering at last another like him, to join in fighting the anti-supernatural corporations threatening his species. Duncan reads from The Last Werewolf while Stephen Coates, of the Real Tuesday Weld, performs from the soundtrack — both of which are on sale.
