Have we mentioned previously that we weren't really sold by Bearsuit spin-off group Grand Prix '86 and their ultra accessible indie pop twee. It lacks the madcap genius of Bearsuit or the edge of other Bearsuit spin off Cruiser Chimps. Well. Today we got hold of their upcoming debut (we believe) single, Everybody's Dancing. It starts to get a bit ( Read more... )

So. We didn't bother buying Tap Tap's album when we had the chance, then. Instead, we were lucky enough to find it up for review for a website we sometimes contribute to. So. Now we have it. The album by a member of the absolutely beautiful Pete And The Pirates. It's a bit Pirates-y but it's not the same. It's like a stripped down version played ( Read more... )

So. Klaxons released Golden Skans today. Good song, good song, we like it, sure enough. However, and as much as we bum Klaxons we're not completely besotted so we know when we're being had. I mean, three formats, £5 if you buy all at once, let's see what we get ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 21 January 2007Another week, another twenty songs and another series of difficult omissions. So hotly contested was this week's Twenty that we've had to fiddle the figures pretty badly just to fit in most of the songs we wanted to. So. Without further ado ( Read more... )

Horray, Baby Bones' MySpace music player is working again. We've already featured them on nwlx but that was without actually hearing a full song interrupted. Luckily, they stand up to actual inspection and BabyBoy especially sounds tres sweet. We'd like them to be a bit beefier but they certainly sound like they're on the verge of hitting a formula ( Read more... )

We're working. We've been doing a few contributions for other sites (stupid really, since we're so far back on our own but since nobody visits our site we've gotta spread the good word somehow) and we're clicking buttons. We ain't hitting the pussy or hitting the switch. It's almost like we're more bitches than bitches.

Lo-EgoIt's hard to say what ( Read more... )

The problem with the world and time and money is that there isn't enough space in it, enough of it, any spare really at all, for all the dagnammed music that needs to be bought and paid for and just bloody well found. Kissy Sell Out has a remix of a Neat People track apparently, a remix of GoodBooks by him out there somewhere, a new Justice song to ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 14 January 2007

This week's Twenty isn't quite as hot shit, track for track, as last week's but it is still pretty damn fresh. There are some songs that've literally just dropped into the chart in the last twenty minutes, let alone the last week. There are songs in here so warm we're getting scorch marks on our fingers just writing ( Read more... )

Shit. We should just keep this open all the time whenever we're online because my WORD there is so much good and exciting music in the world sometimes. It scares us. Just a little bit.

Kissy Sell OutTo be honest, we like France. We utterly bum the music it's producing at the moment and it feels so good to be so validated about the rebirth of dance ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 7 January 2007So. A new year a new set of Twenties and we're going for a full house this year kids, come hell or high water. Though it doesn't bode well that we're already three days late with the first one but that's not technically our fau... ah screw it. Enough pre-amble, these songs are boss ( Read more... )
