  • Tis season of free songs…

    It’s almost Crimbo and several of our fave bands have opened their bag o’tricks and shared with us mere mortals their musical wares, some for free, some as a taste of things to come…

  • Interview – Wet Nuns

    It’s a calm afternoon in a dreary upscale cahootin’ pub in Ranmoor. The clientele is well dressed in penny loafers and shiny suits, with dogs in diamond-studded leashes. The only normal looking fellas are a pair of honest-to-God Sheffield Death Blues rockers. They are Terence Trent D’barndance (guee-tahr, screams) and Wired Earp (drums, sexy torso)…

  • Unfortunate letters of incidents – 14

    Welcome to our weekly column with Russ “chords of gold” Palmer. This week, he writes to that place full of wax figurines. No, we don’t mean Top Shop…

  • Why Harlem’s ‘Hippies’ will cheer you up

    As Britain freezes in a blanket of ice, thousands of people across the country have found themselves trapped (!), entombed in their cars and homes, afraid to rear their fear ridden faces in case of instant frostbite, fractured bums or death by polar bear.

This really strikes me as surprise because every time I listen to them I feel like turning my head up to the sky (or the ceiling, it basically depends where am I at that moment). I’m…

  • A Dark Summer

    Review: Bonobo – Black Sands Over a pint of winter-themed cider, I was sat in the pub with some folks from the Sloucher head office and we were heatedly discussing the ‘End of Year Lists’ for the site. You see, although Sloucher could probably profess to being ‘quirky’ in almost every respect, when it comes…

  • A free folky friday

    We’ve been on a folk roll lately on the site and we’d like to plug a couple of things we’ve found whilst roaming the net for price comparisons. -The lovely people at For Folks Sake have created a list of their “Best of 2010”, with many good artists, including the dreamy pop peddled by Just…

  • Unfortunate letters of incidents – 13

    Welcome to our weekly column with Russ “chords of gold” Palmer. This week, he had some worries about the adverts on telly… we might be helping him a bit…  

  • Interview – The Violet May

    It’s a slightly chilly day in September at the front side of the Showroom Cinema. There, Chris Mcclure and a friend of his are having a conversation about, well, life in general. The best type. I join in for a while and we talk about the current state of radio, not only in the UK,…
