Track: The Joys of Sleeping release new track, Dude York parts I & II
I like sleeping. That feeling when you wake up and you don’t really know what time it is, or it’s much brighter than you expect is a wondrous thing. And that feeling (or is this just me) when you squeeze your fists together in the morning and they feel really weak. Is that only me? …
Track: Hudson Taylor release their new indie folk track, Care
How I loved playing football. I was reasonable, but had been injured for a long time on this particular occasion. I had moved down about eight leagues in standard to try and get back fit, on a Sunday morning league full of thugs, kickers and downright terrible players. On the plus side, I got a …
New Music: Alpine – Gasoline (High Highs Remix)
I sat out on my decking tonight. Me and the decking fell out disastrously last year when slippy steps caused me to nearly rip the rebuilt cruciate ligament out within a couple of weeks of it. Surprised as I was, I reached out with my hand, and promptly fell on it, ripping out various things …
New Music: Perth synth duo Greyjoy release new single, Strangers
Why is it children’s body clock isn’t in synch with their parents. They do take significant bits of our DNA, right? So just when I really want to lie in, my four-year old son wants to watch Spiderman, asks me if ghosts are real, sings one…two…three, four, five – once I caught a fish alive, …
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: 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: Public Service Broadcasting – Theme from PSB
There seems a lack of public service broadcasting on our televisions these days. Its probably down to having to be accountable for just about anything and everything. In my youth, we had loads of it, and I have happy memories of the evil of Nico Tine, and crossing the road with Geoff Capes. One such …
Discover: Amber and listen to their track Noah
Me and my friends came together at University to do various things, some of them very creative. Some of the highlights of this creativity include swapping chocolate slim-fast with chocolate laxatives (how were we supposed to know he had an instrumental exam the next morning) signing one of our friends up to every free offer …
Track: Editors new single – A ton of love / The Sting
I went to live in Huddersfield when I was 17, away at this music place. I’d lived in the county pretty much all my life so when I first moved to this industrial heartland of years gone by it was a little bit daunting, with its mills and canals and expanses of terraced housing in …
New Music: Lost Ghosts – Tunnels
I remember my debut quite clearly. The first concert I ever played in I was (just) eight years old. Even by eight year old standards I was rather a runt of the litter, my young body ravaged by asthma and suffering from being incredibly skinny and fairly small. That first concert was in a local …
