Angry blues and more from the UK (a mysterious package).
THE HOPE EXPLOSION – DEMO This is one of the strangest but beautiful things that could ever happen to me. This morning I woke up, yes, as always, and found a package on my door, sender unknown. I first felt at unease when reading the big red inscription this carton box had glued on white…

Wake up song for today- 68
I wanted something relaxing to post on Easter Sunday, day of all roast dinners and family gatherings and chocolate eggs, and I thought of one of my favourite jazz musicians…the one and only, angel-faced heavenly-voiced Mr Baker. Here he is in 1987, one year before his unfortunate demise, with a live version of his classic recording…

Album review: Arms – EP
Just recently I was thinking about “The Dukes of the Stratosphear”, the psychedelic side project of Andy Partridge and Co. (a.k.a. XTC) and I was thinking about them because I thought that I have not heard anything like that in the past 10 years. And then I got the most-recent-mp3-web-freely-distributed EP (conveniently titled “EP”) of…

Wake up song for today – 67
From Liverpool with Love! I was pretty impressed by The Loud last Saturday at The Grapes and by perusing at their Myspace, I found they recorded this live session. It’s pretty much how raw they sound. Click ’em and check ’em! If you are in Liverpool this Saturday 3 of April, mosey down to Static…

The Loud, Lenders in the Temple and Mabel Love @ The Grapes
So after a gregarious trip to Castleton (including watching two sheep carcasses – brr), the day needed to be capped off with some cool tunes to take away some bad thoughts. The Grapes was having The Loud, Lenders in the Temple and Mabel Love as musical guests. Sounded like the best idea.

In 1968 something amazing happened. Four British rock legends came together for a tv show entitled The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. The Dirty Mac consisted of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell – too good to be true right?! Well, it is true. Check out one of the only songs…

Platinum Blind, Dynamite Victim, Left Ajar, The Hope Explosion @ The Plug
A cracking poker of bands jammed at the Plug last friday. Was it good? Was it bad? Read on! So the first band was Platinum Blind, playing some quick pop punk and relishing their time on stage with some banter and in jokes. A pretty healthy relationship with the fans, as it seems a few…

Album review: Retribution Gospel Choir – ‘2’
In 2008 Alan Sparhawk violently smashed up his guitar during Low’s performance at the End of the Road festival in Dorset, abruptly ending the set with what Sparhawk later attributed to a “crappy day”. Proceding that performance the singer-songwriter formed Retribution Gospel Choir, also featuring Steve Garrington of Low and Eric Pollard on drums, being…

The not so sad end of a booze hound
From the desk of Quintana “Quinto” Haberno (pt 4 – Decatur, or, This Joke is getting boring) “Every night turns out to be a little more like Bukowski, I know it’s a pretty good read but God, who would want to be such an asshole?”- Isaac Brock. It’s not a good Friday to be me.…
