Wake up song -138
I’m really enjoying ‘Serotonin’ – it’s got this poppy, synthy 80’s vibe that the Mystery Jets can really pull off. Here’s the video to the latest single and, if you can ignore the girl that looks like the love child of Claudia Winkleman and Liz Hurley in drag, it’s pretty entertaining. Enjoy! – Misky p.s. They should…

Wake up song -137
My FAVOURITE new band at the moment. Straddling the gap between Crystal Castles, Bikini Kill and complete chaos and lunacy, Sleigh Bells are completely addictive not to mention the fact that they’ve got their A machines on the table, their B machines in the draw. Organised or what?! PM

Review – KiN (demos)
While we wait for the proper review of KiN‘s first EP ‘…’, here’s a quick review of the first batch of demos contained in their Myspace: No outline The intro is great, with the little droning buzz being a little canvas where samples and the “goat voiced girl” start improvising. There’s some moody stuff, but…

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…

Intertwined and dissonant
Interview – The Loud I remember the day. It was the end of March and I had spent the day rambling at Castleton. Was knackered, but still managed to drag myself to The Grapes and catch some good bands. The first one, I knew nothing about, but got an EP from them. It read The…

The Ark that Jonny Sock built
(with apologies to Asleep at the Wheel – Q) The Unfortunate Incident – Build your own ark There are some bands that really make me cry out loud: “why am I not in the UK!?” Thanks to the magic of this blog and to the band’s official site, there’s access to their songs for someone…

Tramlines 2010 – Saturday
Saturday 24: Pata de Perro (Sheffield Alabama Death March). Day started out nicely with the Bromheads‘ flashmob in front of the Student Union of the University of Sheffield. A sparse but eager crowd was there, told by organisers that as soon as the band started playing, they had to freeze in position, with poses as…
