Wake up to The City and Horses
Warpaint! Not only it’s a proper way to declare a hostile takeover to your mortal cubicle enemy, but also it’s the title of this ace song by The City and Horses, a band we reviewed a couple of centuries ago (you read it, right?). Get your day going on with this lovely video. Mind you,…

Patti Smith and her Band Manchester Academy 07/09/2012
Personal Reflections. It’s 10:26 pm and a 65 year old mother of two, who is also a widow, has been on the stage for an hour and a half. The Academy is steaming hot. Patti Smith has taken her jacket off. Running her hands through her hair she smiles, her eyes twinkle, “ I haven’t finished…

Looking back at : The Fall’s Grotesque (after the gramme)
Editor’s note: Pete and Ed play for a cool Sheffield band called Pisco Sour Hour. When they are not confusing new comers with their jazzy experimental rock, they go into the wild steppe that is The Fall‘s back catalogue. Here’s their recent venture…

Wake up to … Mooi
So, it’s Wednesday, which always feels like the 10 minutes before lunch break/coffee break/recess/younameit. It’s a short time (allegedly) to be safe, but still, you need something to keep you going.

Wake up to … Your New Antique
It’s September, which means Autumn (or Fall, if you will) is upon us. Green leaves turn into red, then brown, then faaaaaaaaaaaall down. So, here’s a new song by Your New Antique. Check it out in all its fast, gloomy flavour. Your New Antique Website. Soundcloud. Last.FM. Twitter. Facebook.

Cats:For:Peru – Tender Branson EP
There’s days when the cognitive dissonance between “fanboy” and “critic” exacerbate the already bloody conflict in the head of a humble servant. Today feels like both sides are out with all guns a-blazin’, as the newest EP by Cats:For:Peru puts me in the difficult position: should I be honest or should I be empathic?
