Slowing Down.

July 7, 2010

I am so tired. Weekends blend into weeks blend back into the weekend. And it never ends. Trains and buses and cars and bikes. I wish I blogged more. I wish I slept more. I can’t be bothered to type up the whole story of how this came about. You can read it here anyway. [...]

Back To The…

June 30, 2010

There are a few indie bands in the UK I hold very close to my heart, but Tubelord always find a way to pull a hundred strings. If they’re not being utterly charming on stage then they’re kicking the shit out of their live set. If they aren’t compelling you to try and conquer your [...]

I love you, what’s your name?

June 30, 2010

I first heard Evenings over on Get Off The Coast and since then I’ve been completely hooked. It all begins so simple and delicately but builds into something huge, heartfelt, and encapsulating in my headphones before it disappears into dust. I love this EP so much, and it’s free.

Love you so much.

HEALTH BONUS TRACKS by cityslang Sometimes the most challenging listens are the most rewarding. The first time I pressed play on You Will Love Each Other I had no idea what was going on. It was disturbing, dark, disorientating, but ultimately appealing. There was just something different about Health, and I completely fell for their [...]

Ace.

June 23, 2010

Part of me really wants to see how many tennis puns I can get into this post. Something like… Tennis are a married couples who’ve been back and forth on the blogs for the last few sets of posts. Even Pitchfork have served their music over the net, courting the band with no backhanded compliments, [...]

Broke.

June 22, 2010

Credit cards to hand, paper out. Transferring funds, cashing in favours. I’m kind of broke this month. Almost. If I had any sense I’d wait until next month to buy the Baths album. If I had any sense. Can’t stop falling for this track every time it loops on my iPod. It’s so chaotic but [...]

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.

June 18, 2010

I love you Myles Cooper. I have had you in my head for five days now and I still can’t stop smiling every time I press play on your video. Out now and limited to 300 copies. Grab yours or the mp3s over on Transparent.

Bye Bye…

June 15, 2010

Never try and talk about the music industry with musicians. And by the music industry, I mean record sales. And by record sales, I mean lack thereof. Everyone has a different theory on the Internet. Everyone has their own view on downloading, the throwaway mp3, the dead format CD. All I care about, right now, [...]

Coming Soon…

June 11, 2010

I’m not sure if this is promo or a blog post. London’s Wet Paint have been around for a while. Debut album It Rots came out last year and gigs followed, most notably supporting Foals (edit – and Bloc Party). I saw them at festivals, I saw them in pubs, but I’ve still never seen [...]

Awkward.

June 7, 2010

One of the most awkward things about working in music happens when I’m sat in the pub with a friend and they ask me to listen to their new track. Even if their previous efforts have been nothing short of brilliant there’s always a voice in my head that whispers… what if it’s shit? Thankfully, [...]
