Post exams, pre lectures..
Artists mentioned:Woop. Finished my last exam on friday and since then have; drunk too much, wasted a day away being hungover, noticed that Aberystwyth has moved itself into a cloud, been climbing, eaten crumpets, and made postcards with far too many spelling mistakes in them for an English student.Music wise 2008...(read full post)

A brief history of the twentieth century.
Artists mentioned:It is amazing to what levels I am willing to procrastinate in order to avoid doing any revision for my exam next week. Of course, there is far too much on the internet designed to help divert my attentions. One of my favourite past-times is to read up on little...(read full post)

Happy 2008 - Here is some sound.
Artists mentioned:I've been far too lazy this Christmas. A perfect chance for me to get back into the swing of blogging is squandered, with my time going into playing Wii until the early hours. Never mind, eh? To make up for my absense I thought I'd put up a jumbo post...(read full post)

A foal is a horse that is one year old or younger.
Artists mentioned:Foals dress for the occasion and have awesome songs to match. Hailing from Oxford, these ex-art school types create a sound akin to Youthmovies crossed with the pop sensibilities of Bloc Party. The band won a lot of fans over at SXSW earlier this year, and with a couple of...(read full post)

Behind my gameboy I got gamegirl.
Artists mentioned:Tranterco is one part of Melbourne's Gameboy/Gamegirl, who you will have surely heard of if you've had your finger on the pulse of the coolest blogs in blogland during the past year. Tranterco (who is responsible for the faux rapping in GB/GC) has been djaying for awhile and as well...(read full post)

That's why I copy and paste.
Artists mentioned:Every now and again you stumble across a musical gem, that once you've heard you never will forget. About two years ago I heard a song on late night MTV2, a song which since that day I have been able to remember vividly, yet until a couple of days ago...(read full post)

This just in!
Artists mentioned:Bloc Party are good again. Honest!Bloc Party's new single is called Flux and is currently whizzing around the blogsphere like bird flu in an apocalyptic vision of the future. RAD!. We Were Rock Stars is not content to sit idly by and neglect our duties in hyping this beyond hyperbole...(read full post)

Coming Back With Power! Power!
Artists mentioned:BOOM! M.I.A is missing no longer, I have found her in my stereo every single minute since the release of her second major album Kala on the 20th of August. I feared an album too 'banging' for my tastes with the more raucous tracks; 'XR2', 'Bird Flu' and 'Boyz up...(read full post)

Sweet as Sugar.
Artists mentioned:London's David E. Sugar has been around for awhile now, and in my opinion is one of the UK's bright sparks who continues to excell himself again and again. Whilst he produces his own original material, utilising a Gameboy's default sounds to program his beats, it is his remixes that...(read full post)

Just Jak It.
Artists mentioned:Pseudonecrophile are a boy and a girl from Houston, Texas, who I seem to have stumbled across out of nowhere. However, since hearing them only a few days ago on the old myspace I have became somewhat obsessed with their irresistable blend of electronica and attitude, a mix that hits...(read full post)

2005 Version 2.0
Artists mentioned:If I have not said it before I shall say it here and now: 2005 was the greatest year for music ever. Well, for me it certainly was as it produced the most amazing albums in my living memory and it has always been albums that really make my pussy...(read full post)

I could have been one of the most notorious..
Artists mentioned:I went out last night, and as I burned it up in the back streets of Soho (on the lovely little hotbox hidden gem that is White Heat's dance floor) there was one song on my mind, Santogold's 'Creator'. Now, I know this has been around for a while, but...(read full post)

VHS Or Beta version 2.0.
Artists mentioned:Somewhere along the line since the amazing 2004 debut Night On Fire, Kentucky's VHS Or Beta lost their guitarist of 10 years Zeke Buck, who parted ways to join Matthew Johnson in a new outfit called People Noise, exchancing the experimental dance funk for massive riffs and walls of feedback....(read full post)

Messages from down under.
Artists mentioned:Sometimes I forget to check my e-mails. It's one of those things I'm not great at. Most of the time it's only messages from myspace or paypal, or the odd bit of spam, so you can imagine my surprise and joy when I log in to Hotmail and find I've...(read full post)

Goin' back to my roots
Artists mentioned:Deep down I am a black man. I have always believed this. There are certain ‘facts’ that unscrupulous types would disseminate in an attempt to disprove this. My mother grew up Chiswick and my father in Kew and, yes, they are both themselves white. I was not adopted and to...(read full post)

Kate Nash is a victim.
Artists mentioned:"A victim of what?" I hear you shout.Well, I was listening to the radio the other morning in the car and I heard a certain radio presenter compare Kate Nash to Lily Allen (yes, fair enough), Amy Winehouse (ermm..) and Sandy Thom (WTF!?). I know they are only doing their...(read full post)
