It would seem that I have neglected my duties. My mind has been so preoccupied with that other place, of flesh and motion, that i’ve been somewhat absent. But I have have returned. I don’t know if this is good or not, time will surely tell. Looking through the posts here I see history but [...]

Once again a current favourite song is lacking lyrics on the interwebs. This situation cannot go uncorrected. So here’s the words to Peggy Sue – The Remainder as transcribed by yours truly during one of those lovely nights when insomnia and me are bosom buddies (that would be most nights then). The rythmn surrounds the [...]

Broken Wing

Back from Morocco (which was ace btw) and back to putting stuff online. Current favourite song Broken Wing by Leeds based Grammatics appears to be lacking any lyrics on the interweb. I’m pretty sure I can fix that: Every mistake that you watched me make I made again. Sat up wide awake, a coma sounds [...]

Seattle based Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head are one of my current favs. Blending just the right amount of insanity and cool to produce an album “Glistening Pleasure” that is just so much fun to listen to. Tuneage: Holding Hands In The Shower L.A. Noir

It would seem that muxtape.com has finally succumbed to the might of the RIAA. Shame that, I kinda liked it’s simple, no frills approach. Oh well, time to find the next interesting thing (or just use last.fm playlists).

We got our answerphones on, What are you worried about? I think I liked you more when you were worse. How hanging out of the 15th storey window has never felt so relaxing. Bring out the real fun. Turn on the real drums.

Montreal Might Eat Its Young

July has been filled with so many things. Gigs, Partying, Geekery. At some point I’ll get it all down here (well maybe not all) but until then just make do with this month’s Muxtape which pretty much describes my July in chronological order. “That was the one.”

Made Her Smile

Caught Black Kids doing an instore at HMV today totally by accident while trying to get some of this week’s vinyl quota. Pretty good band if you can get past all the hype they’ve been getting, which will probably destroy them. A short set of course but it was most enjoyable despite it interfering with [...]

This book is interesting me a great deal at the moment. That and I’m also re-reading Michael_Azerrad‘s excellent “Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground, 1981-1991“. also

So I managed to turn up to Johnny Foreigner and Dananananaykroyd last night at The Proud Galleries, Camden (unlike Monday and The Weakerthans, oops). We got there a bit late and missed Tubelord, who were very good so I’m told. Awesome gig, plenty of energy from both bands and some cracking music. Good stuff. Shame [...]

Your Life Is A Song

But Not This One… Going to see Johnny Foreigner later this week. Getting excited. Recovering from an excellent London Web Week at the moment. I don’t think I’ve drunk as much since I was a student, also probably learnt more in a single week than at any time since I was a student (I’m even [...]

Awesome band. Awesome song. Super awesome video: Technorati Tags: Ladytron, Ghosts, velocifero

Yeah, I’ve been a little (a lotttle?) slack with my updates. I guess it’s just been my winter hibernation. Well what have I been up to in the last 2-3 months? Seeing several awesome bands (and missing a few unfortunately). Highlights have been seeing Stars again at Koko. Good gig, I especially enjoyed catching Apostle [...]
