Honestly, if brains were dynamite I’d struggle to scrape enough together to blow my hat off. This is a record that I thought I’d bought when it came out back in October, and when I was rummaging through stuff for the purposes of compiling my Best Of 2012 goings-on, it turned out that I hadn’t. I [...]

Hello, people of the future! For I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and didn’t post it. With any luck, I’ve won the lottery in the meantime and I’m pressing ‘send’ from my new beachside castle. I suspect I won’t be though. Anyways, I’m holding off a while until we’re a bit closer to [...]
Just a quick snippet before I go off and do something else – I don’t usually go on about single song releases as I struggle to get everything typed and posted before it finishes, but I’m happy to make an exception for these guys as not only is it a fine old song to start [...]
I am not a calm man. I tend to wander through life in a general state of being so highly-strung that it’s a constant bafflement to modern science that when I speak, it’s not at a frequency that only cats can hear. It’s OK though, as not only am I fairly comfortable (well, resigned) in [...]
It’s great fun being a music snob. Not only can I sit here barely managing to pretend that I have the faintest idea what I’m on about, I can also do what everyone else does and use made-up genre titles to cover up the fact that I am listening to something I like that seems [...]
Free stuff! Hopefully, I got someone’s attention with that – in which case, hello you and I hope you’re having a lovely evening. And I wasn’t lying either, as a quick jaunt over to The Local Strangers’ website (Clicky O’Here) and a few seconds later, after providing your email, vague geographical details and where you [...]
Well, it’s my own fault for moaning earlier this month that I was bored. It’s certainly picked up release-wise in the last week or so, for as well as the things already covered in the last week or so, there’s this gem released just the other day, something odd on its way in the post [...]
No idea whether I’m coming or going this week, so ramblings about short things may well be in order. And what better short thing to ramble on about than this charming debut from the aptly named Local Strangers – a Mid-Western duo now at home in Seattle, and fitting in rather nicely with the area’s [...]
This is swiftly becoming “Not really heard their older stuff, but…” month. Then again, it’s the 31st so hopefully that’s all out of the way now. Latest, and hopefully last for a bit, in a line of slightly guilty posts about artists whose work has gone a bit on the under-appreciated side over here, is [...]
I’ve been a bit lazy these past few weeks. And because of this, I’m now faced with rather a lot of good (and hopefully great) new releases coming up very soon and a whole bunch of recent purchases that I want to go on about but haven’t been on-the-ball* enough to sit down for 45 [...]
