Track: Julio Bashmore -Duccy, plus Tour Dates
Some people have to change names, for lots of reasons. I had an English teacher that changed her name from Miss Pratt to, actually I can’t remember, but she was still known as Miss Pratt to everyone. Making your way in the music and film world is always rather a treacherous path, but one made …
See: Burning House release new video for Turn Off the Robot
There’s never been a better duo than Morcambe and Wise. Or, as they started out, Earnest Wiseman and Eric Bartholemew. Pushed by Ernie’s mother and honing their skills extensively on the music hall circuit, before moving into tv, at first disasterously, then slowly, brilliantly they became the biggest comedy duo in British television history. A …
Track: Eliza and the Bear release new single, Friends
We all do things to make us happy. I like buying records, and hanging out with my family, playing with my children. Usual things, things that I guess a lot of people would list as being their among their favourite things to do. In my younger days, I used to visit football grounds. I specialised …
Track: Rotty – Introducing Rotty E.P.
Citizens. It’s times like these we have to be vigilant. If you happen to be in the vicinity of a nightclub, soundsystem, or even radio, never mind on the internet, you might get offered something. Like all these things its a short term fix for a long term problem, to make all those worries go …
Track: Voltage Black – Get your Iron Aligned
I thought I liked to invent genre’s. So far since I started this blog, only some seven months ago but sometimes it seems like a lifetime, the amount of time I (and the rest of the brilliant contributors we have here at the moment) spend keeping everyone updated with musical and artistic musings. I’ve sandwiched …
Track: Exit Calm preview ‘Fiction’ from upcoming album
We can all breathe a sigh of relief. 2010 saw the rugged indie rock of Exit Calm coming to the fore in the shape of the self titled album and a couple of singles, Hearts and Minds and Don’t look down, which grazed the consciousness of many, and caused some to fall for their retro …
New Music: Wretch 32 – Doing Ok Featuring Jacob Banks
Ok, I admit it. I didn’t like Wretch 32. He seemed to come from nowhere, have these huge hits and everything seemed a bit too easy for him, and to me it was a bit, you know, charty. That was until I heard his new track Doing OK featuring Jacob Banks. Now I feel like …
See: Second Hand Heart – Hold On, plus Video
I used to be a big fan of the Australian Soap ‘Neighbours‘. Yes, I know it’s still on here in the UK, but now I have other things that occupy my mind. Like writing about Music and Art just about every waking hour for a start. But in my teenage years especially, they did a …
Track: M.I.A. Releases new brilliant single, Bring The Noize
M.I.A. a.k.a. Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam is one of those born wanderers, travellers I think (clearly, not knowing her, I couldn’t say for sure but it sort of fits my point, therefore I’ll shoehorn it in anyway). Growing up between London and Sri Lanka (her father was a Sri Lankan political activist) she made her first …
Track: Josh Record announces new tour dates and releases Kate Bush cover, Running Up That Hill
Who doesn’t like a good cover. In fact, who doesn’t like a good Kate Bush cover (or a good cut-up piece of Kate Bush, remembering Utah Saints something good) for that matter. It’s the sort of pub discussion that men, well men who like music, have in pubs – the best cover of all time. …
