Yeah my shirt got a fuckin’ wolf on, what you know about that, hipster muthafukka? Following the nod from Benny, The Fader and now Wire magazine, it looks like Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are going places real fast – that said, the places they go will likely involve hard drugs, sex crimes, [...]

If it ain’t broke, then BREAK it and record a 7″ single, bitch

If the whole no-fi/lo-fi thing is a bit too ‘P4k‘ for you then look away now. I’m a big fan. All the bad recording, tinny sound, hard-to-decipher vocals and homemade t-shirts/album covers/everything makes me feel like I’m back in school listening to Bleach again. There seems to be very few bands from the Captured Tracks/ [...]

If there’s a blogeur equivalent of ‘doing a Pink at the VMAs’ and metaphorically dangling myself upside down from a buff acrobat, banging away on the keys of a keyboard thing to impress you, the agog reader, then this is it. Shiny and new like the Ceann Comhairle’s expensed, and expensive, Pringle jocks (no little [...]

I ill-advisedly clicked on a youtube link to watch a Marianne Nowottny clip earlier, got The Fear immediately and so had to watch this to regain some semblance of mental balance. This is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite artists. As Jools Holland might say, by way of introduction, “Hapablap habahappahap [...]
There was blood

Having spooked the bejesus out of myself by watching Let The Right One In recently, it has taken me a few days to get back to a normal, uneventful, solid night’s sleep. Even Amityville II: The Spookening (or something) seemed scary, having subjected my human eyes to a Swedish vampire film with one of the [...]
Magik Markers release their new album, Balf Quarry, in May on the esteemed Drag City label. Now, I won’t pretend to know a shit load about this duo of Pete Nolan and Elisa Ambrogio but their album and homemade CD-R releases are well into the double figures at this stage, they’ve played with Sonic Youth [...]
Animal Collective – My Girls from Rob Chesnutt on Vimeo. Not much point me posting this here as you probably already saw it on Nialler‘s blog but it’s just too good to not re-post. So many ideas overflowing in this video for Animal Collective’s My Girls by Rob Chestnutt – it has a cracking hodge [...]

Listening to the ‘friends’ of bands you like on myspace can be a tough swamp to navigate but when you are the cap’n of an airboat as canny as I am, it can turn up some mighty fine results with a real tang.First up are Mazes, UK fuzz-pop with an unknown amount of members. Check [...]

Wavves gig was great last night, although it made me wish I was 10 years younger and had a fringe/mullet.Will have a review up on The ‘D soon but, for the moment, those beautiful Brooklynite synth sirens, Telepathe, have kindly returned my Q & A so go check that out EDIT: Wavves live review from [...]
