Track: Alex Burey – Inside World
I’m at the age now when I can just about begin to organise the important aspects of my life, such as generally being in the right place at the right time for whats needed – work, food, sleep and suchlike. But there again, I’m staring down the barrel of middle age, so I damn well …
New Music: Light Club – Youth Is Fading
In amongst the days and places that I’ve been listening to this, the debut from Portland, Oregon’s Light Club, I think I’ve found the perfect accompaniment: bright early autumn sunshine augmented by a strong, fresh breeze. I’m sat in my back garden, watching fragments of cloud cruising across the heart-stirringly blue sky, with washing snapping …
New Music: 18+ – All the Time
Out on 10th November via the Houndstooth label comes the debut album from 18+, aka Boy and Sis. It follows on from the track Crow, who’s dribbling RnB/electronica caused many to sit up and notice up its release in the Summer. They’ve shared a track from the album, All the Time. Built on Sis’s sample …

I’ve just been playing hide and seek with my little boy. If it weren’t for his constant giggling I’d get worried sometimes, as he seems to be able to think a little left of centre. Not for him behind the curtains or under the table – he managed to wedge himself behind the door of …
Track: Peppermint Heaven – The Delicious EP
Sometimes you have to go where your influences are. Not because you’re a fan, or you want to be near them, but because you need to see what made them like they are, and just in case a little bit of that thing that made them special to you rubs off on you. At least, …
New Music: Laura Welsh – Undiscovered
I’d be careful if I were you. Laura Welsh is back amongst us. She’s releasing her new single ‘Undiscovered’ on the Outsiders/Polydor label on October 28th . It’s thought that she was holed up across in America for the recording, produced by Lana Del Rey and Kanye West associate Emile Haynie, and it will feature …

Why is it scary stuff happens in Car Parks in films and TV. Yet in my life nothing even remarkable has happened in a Car Park. Once, when I was in a bit of a rush, I lost my ticket at the John Lewis car park in Sheffield, and I had to go to the …
Track: New York duo Cardiknox release engaging new single, Hold me down
I never quite got it right in the 1980’s, the bits I remember anyway. There was the case of the elasticated trousers, where my Mother, with money being very tight in our house, decided to make me my school trousers. She came out with these elasticated monstrosities, a sort of dark blue drainpipe affair, made essentially with a …
