Dark Side of the Moon Quad Mix
Mmm this is a bit techie/geekie but bouncing over my RSS feeds I came across a posting from NPR, that fine institution, flagged ‘Attention Pink Floyd Fans’. You can read the post as well as I can but the link … Continue reading
Mono – Hymn to the Immortal Wind
I am somewhat taken aback that I don’t seemed to have put a post before about Mono. Thanks must go out to the Peeblemeister for introducing me to them (or is it the other way around?) not long after he … Continue reading
Loney Dear
I have been living with Dear John the new Loney Dear album for a little while now. Originally I got drawn in by the opening track Airport Surroundings after Loney Dear had been lurking on the edge of my aural … Continue reading
Elbow in Bristol
Bit slow off the mark on this post, but last Tuesday saw us at the Colston Hall again seeing friends Elbow for the third time in 12 months. By this time of course The Seldom Seen Kid is now the … Continue reading
Point Juncture WA

Wintersleep
Sometimes I feel a bit like a sad old junky looking for the next good hit – but in my case on the hunt for another band that does ‘it’ for me – you know, like when you first really … Continue reading
Wooden Birds and Tigers That Talked
I was a fan of American Analogue Set (AmAnSet to their friends) and was sorry only to have caught them just prior to their desolving. But from the ashes, or rather with one of the AmAnSet founders Andrew Kenny, comes … Continue reading
