  • Bed Time Songs – 4

    ‘This is not just Groove Armada, this is M & S Groove Armada’…perhaps now more famous after being used for those adverts, this is still one of my most favourite chill-out tracks. The lyrics of ‘sandunes’, ‘salty air’ and ‘quaint little villages’ are sure to transport your thoughts away from the steel city and incite…

  • Interview : An all night out blitz with Smokers Die Younger (pt 2)

    Part 2: Where we decide that talking about Cult stuff and childhood crushes is better than music. As the rain wanes into a gentle drizzle and the alcohol quantities go into Bukowski levels, Amy, Ian and James look more comfortable and my voice becomes slightly more slurred and lisped than usual. After Amy has joked…

  • Bed Time Songs – 3

    I know this isn’t the most obvious choice for a bed-time song, but hailing from Manchester I always whack this on before bed if I’m ever feeling a bit homesick. I also think it sounds so much better at night time and can’t get the full effect of it otherwise, the overall eeriness emphasised when…

  • Interview: An all night out blitz with Smokers Die Younger (pt 1)

    Part 1: Of sweets and alcohol. It’s a rainy Thursday in the outskirts of Brown Street, the Rutland Arms, to be precise.

  • Bed Time Songs – 1

    So I know Sloucher have been concentrating on wake-up music, but sometimes you just need a little something to help before catching some shut eye, so I thought I would compose a list of my favourite bed-time songs. This is currently my favourite bed-time song, taken from Forgiveness Rock Record which was released earlier this…

  • We’ve been hacked!!!

    You might notice the place looks a little…strange. This is what happened: we usually change the master password every month. This month it was the turn of our second favourite Spammer. Turns out the idiot went out with some members of Smokers Die Younger for an Ale Tasting Tour round Kelham Island. We’ll dock his…

    Smokers Die Younger – Smokers Die Younger “These abject terrors and complexities / may do for you, but they will not for me / take your hands from my throat / Put them back on the wheel / and drive” – Bad Driving Too, Smokers Die Younger The skinny: The first album was Jason, this…

    Kevin Drew – ‘F–Ked Up Kid’: From Broken Social Scene leader Kevin Drew’s debut solo album, Spirit If…(2007). Speculation that this song is about on-off beau Leslie Feist can now begin…-PM
