  • A lo-fi dessert

    Sophie Mac  – Apples EP Play a song while you read the review! The Skinny: An impromptu session in a living room. You bring the wine. The review proper: Pretty much what you it says in the tin: “a live recording in a living room with borrowed equipment and a cup of tea”. Sounds like…

  • Primus @ The Fillmore, Detroit

    Primus @ The Fillmore, 3 de Octubre, 2010. Detroit, Rock City (I see what you did there – Q). I remember the first time I heard Primus. It was 1995 and a friend from high school lent me an album she had abandoned in her desk. She told me she didn’t listen to it often…

  • Interview: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

    Or: Hangin’ with Boris Yeltsin dans le metro… Listen to their latest album, Let it sway,  while you read this interview! It’s no secret that Polyvinyl gets a lot of love from us at Sloucher.org. It’s no secret either that we are into bands that do have a sense of humour. How chuffed were us (Tonan…

  • Unfortunate letters about incidents – 4

    Welcome to our new weekly column with Russ “chords of gold” Palmer. This week, he writes with grave concern to Mates Condoms…

  • Wake up song – 151

    It’s October now so it’s officially time for creepy, weird things and I have to say that this video totally freaks me out. But it’s also COLD so it’s time for a winter ‘hymn’! Misky

  • More Sour than Sweet

    Interpol – S/T Interpol are one of my favourite bands. I thought I would get that part out of the way right now so we all know how it stands. I’ve waited three long years for their new album but even the anticipation that I’ve built up in that time could not mask the fact…

  • Some stuff we’ve been spinning at Sloucher towers

    Reverend Sound System (or RSS) Who? The new(ish) project of Jon McClure (he of Reverend & The Makers fame), mixing some indie and dubstep (genres are as fluctuating as my waistline).

  • From Austin, with love (for acid)

    Black Angels – Phosphene dream The Skinny: A very psychedelic trip. The Review Proper: The newest album by The Black Angels is a proper punch to the head. Now with more tremolo. And Stephanie Bailey drumming the hell outta the water a lot of her male colleagues.

  • Singles – Bromheads, Firesuite, Chickenhawk and Kong

    Bromheads – Friends The little ditty that could. A bittersweet song about the ups and downs of friendships and maybe that the best course of action is just to shrug your shoulders and soldier on. Getting kicked out TWICE from a building might be the side-effects of this earworm of a song. Love the drumming…

  • Tribute: ‘King of the Buskers’

    Don Partridge I’d like to take a moment to remember a dear family friend and a great musician and songwriter, Don Partridge (affectionately known as the ‘King of the Buskers’). Don is well known as a busker and has played all over the world; he was the first person to make the one man band famous on the…
