  • Interview – The Twilight Sad

    Here’s a no-brainer: We love The Twilight Sad here at the site (specially the Frog and his Pals, as you can see from the illustration by our pal Miller) and The Wrong Car 12″ has blown our socks off all the way back to the shop we nicked them from (a goal in life complete,…

  • The Dark Side of Music : Live

    Who? They had a couple of great albums in the 90s. You probably remember them more for ‘Lightning Crashes’ (link)than from ‘Lakini’s juice’ (link), but both are great songs. And they played together since they were 15.

  • Interview – Nat Johnson & The Figureheads

    It was a cold day in August and the weather prediction was cloudy with a high chance of rambling and ranting. I have to interview Nat Johnson and the Figureheads. They are Nat (vocals/guitar), Kevin (guitar), Chris (bass) and Neil (drums). One of the bar staff graciously puts a table for us outside, and we…

  • The dark side of music : U2

    Who? A quartet from Ireland. You probably a few songs in your collection. It’s like dustmites: they are everywhere. Also “un, dos, tres, catorce!”
