Yodelling Hillbillies/Kindred Symphonies
Who? Vetiver Why? As a professed fan of the psyc-folk phenomenon I still can’t help but roll my eyes when something, someone, some band, come ‘Devendra Banhart approved’. Don’t get me wrong I love the rambling lunatic as much as the next person (he’s an alt-jesus prophet for a worrying proportion of music lovers) but…

Wake up song – 136
In honour of the new stuff being so brilliantly different, I thought we should take a trip down memory lane this morning and have a listen to one of the great, melancholic anthems of bygone LCD Soundsystem. PM

La Folie, c’est mon truc
La Folie – Risus Sardonicus I got a very interesting album today, though the cover seemed a little bit as if all of my childhood traumas were reflected on that image: circus, an elephant, acrobats… anyway, I was pretty excited to listen to this new acquisition called Risus Sardonicus, by La Folie (I dig the…

Friday 23 : Ecky Thump (the full-on rock day) Tramlines kickstarted on Friday with a quick visit to The Circle (for the press wristband) and then to Penelope’s (for a chat with the wonderful people from Counterfeit Magazine). This was the first year for us covering a massive festival and needed some advice from pros…

Tramlines (what it was and what will be)
Can’t say I’m not excited for Tramlines. Last year’s edition was a total blast and this year’s is mammoth-sized and chock full of bands (maybe too many, but the beauty is in the variety, so scratch what I just said). What was so great about last year? Well, besides finally getting to see the 80’s…
