So. We've just spend a small pony on music from Puregroove. Amongst the euro-electro 12"s and jagged art rock 7"s we got a shedload of compilations ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 25 February 2007Another good selection of songs, helped immensely by the fact we went on a little jaunt and had lots of time to listen to lots of lovely, lovely music. Really, it was a blessing for the ears. In other news, we're bored and want to a) travel more (invite us to your town) and b) play records to people. We can almost ( Read more... )

Hahah, how good is this? This person has indexia, anglepop and slut wave in their Last.fm tags. It's like... it's like.. they took our word for it.

All the things that will happen to us in our lives, all the disappointments and heartache, loss, loneliness and failure, the pain and injury, we will forever give thanks that the song I Luv U by Dizzee Rascal exists.

Amen.

We've just written our three hundredth, uh. Well, we don't call them reviews do we (we'd be breaking the trade descriptions act). Still. Three hundred down, and another fifty still to go just for us to catch up from the end of last year. It was a nice one, though, we were happy with it. Not the write up. The song ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 11 February 2007

Yep. Bit late but it was a busy week last week. We went to Newcastle to miss Blood Red Shoes and Manchester to miss an NME aftershow party. However, we didn't let that bring us down. Instead we got back on the surfboardhorseaphorism and rode. This is the result.

We kick off with the newie from The Maccabees after ( Read more... )

Have we made this point before? I dunno. However, we're getting really annoyed at record labels constantly sending out one track single promos. What's the point? For review purposes? We're not going to DJ them, we're not going to play them on a radio station. If you send out a gash CD it's probably best you hedge your bets and put a b-side on it. ( Read more... )

Right. I reckon for the next hour - an hour isn't a short period of time - we're going try and recreate a Rock Night DJ set. Like, our local student club, between nights of nigh impenetrable cheese has a full on latex suit and blue dreadlocks Rock Night. The music isn't usually to our tastes (although heaven knows, we don't actually go - even now ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 4 February 2007I don't know about everyone else but my personal favourite Twenties are the ones where we've literally had to fight off the virtual need to make it a Twenty Five or Thirty. We separate songs out into fives to keep track of how many are in the list and after shearing about seven we were happy until we spotted that we had ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 28 January 2007Bit of a late one this, a few obsticles over the course of last week made it harder to compile and then regurgitate on your unsuspecting selves. The songs as such aren't as delicately chosen as we'd hope. Luckily they are of a generally high standard so that kinda glosses over our lack of professionalism ( Read more... )
