Fang Island
There is something just so undeniably ‘up’ about Fang Island. Alerted by the ever reliable Steve Lamacq blog, how come these Rhode Islanders haven’t come to light before? Mr Lamacq’s post gives all the info you might need and of … Continue reading
Puzzle – Aniima
Anima came to me courtesy of @hernameiscalla when Sophie tweeted about the track Seoul which is indeed a lovely thing. A little scratching around revealed an imminent release, this CD entitled Puzzle. Being a sucker for most things, pre-sale, preview … Continue reading
The Twighlight Sad – The Wrong Car
What’s to say, another spectacular track from @thetwighlightsad (more of course at Myspace FB). Those glorious Caledonian tones, a great tune, wonderful scratchy guitars and those drums… with the habitual unsettling lyrics this time with a suitably creepy video. Wonderful
The Quiet Lamb – Her Name Is Calla
A thousand years ago an advert proclaimed, ‘You can’t hurry a Murray’s’ referring to an old school boiled mint sweet. Well there is something of the Murray Mint to Her Name is Calla. It’s been a couple of years since … Continue reading

The National, High Violet and Bloodbuzz Ohio Vid
Well the news that High Violet is out and frankly rather brilliant is no news at all. In fact quite pointless to write anything about it at all it would only sound too sucky. The splendid Bloodbuzz Ohio track now … Continue reading
Idlewild Wolverhampton
Almost goes without saying that its a bit of a schlep up to Brum or Wolverhampton at the end of the day for a gig, but needs must. Deeply irked that I missed both the Bristol and Gloucester Idlewild shows … Continue reading
Turin Brakes – Outbursts
It is just over five years since the Lad and I went to see Turin Brakes at the Academy in Bristol as the Lads first live gig. I have held a special place for TB since their first album The … Continue reading
Frightened Rabbit – The Winter of Mixed Drinks
The follow up to Frightened Rabbits The Midnight Organ Fight was going to be difficult with it its near cult status in some quarters, going down especially well in the US. Equally since MOF there have been numerous other Caledonian … Continue reading
