  • Single reviews – 3

    (or a inconsistent excuse of a column – Q) Reviewed by: Sam. Gorillaz – Stylo These animated fiends managed to unearth class act Bobby Womack (who needs to remind the world that ‘Across a 110th street’ is a bonafide classic) and even themselves after 5 years (I feel old now) and do an okay(ish) song…

  • Review: Yeasayer – ‘Odd Blood’

    9/10 Odd Blood is the logical extension of Yeasayer’s 2007 debut All Hour Cymbals except with less filler and more mind-blowing experimentalism. From the off it’s best to view the album as more of a streamlined piece of art than a bunch of separate tunes thrown together for the heck of it; sort of like…

  • Wake up song for today – 37

    Are you even supposed to be here today? Well, since it’s our 37th video, might as well go for this one. Why this song? Watch the film ;)

  • Reviews – Bromheads @ DQ

    I guess it was a needed break. Some ol’ school rock after that debacle that I had to review the other day. Call it music therapy if you need a buzz word! Anyways, I was hanging out with Humberto and Orestes, those Mexican alcohol fiends, at DQ. Needed the extra help in case I wanted…

  • Wake up song for today – 36

    The true Mack Daddy of slow-core, Mr. Mark Eitzel and his jolly (irony!!) band of merry (double whammy!) and one of their happiest songs. Enjoy the depression known as American Music Club

  • Reviews – The Unfortunate Incident @ Sheffield Academy

    (Public apologies for the delay. It’s been hectic at Sloucher HQ – Quintana) The posters promised an “evening of aural delight and aesthetic pleasure”. Don’t know about that after spending the night outside my flat (long story short: people=shit) and sleeping in a semi-public library (you’d be amazed how comfy are the collected writings of…

  • Wake up song for today – 35

    Can’t get any classier than Mister Comeback (aka Tom Jones) and Jools “Please forget I was in Squeeze!!!” Holland doing this massively suave track

  • Review : Hadouken – For the masses

    On their second album, produced by Dutch Godlike producers NOISIA (so massive they have everything in capital letters), Hadouken! not only avoid the dreaded sophomore slump, but make a leap akin to what Godfather II did to Godfather one (or House Party III made to House Party II, yo!) Easily the UK’s deft response to…

  • Wake up song for today – 34

    Good ol’ Bromheads, they rocked DQ last saturday and now they are rockin’ this ultracool song (original version by The “5” Royales here). Thank you, dear Bromheads, for making me forget that horrid version by Bitty McLean (trust me, don’t search for it, some stuff can’t be unseen). By the way, get your FREE copy…

  • Wake up song for today -33

    My new favourite band The Golden Silvers welcome us into Friday with an eighties inspired, synth-abusing pop song with a truly elastic, funky bassline. Hello weekend! I am happy to report that these London lads also cut it live. They’ve got a great rhythm section and were among only a small handful of bands at…
