a fan writing things of little importance

I do so love these blind buyings and findings.  Somewhat annoyed that a couple of things that I’d ordered had yet to turn up, I descend upon this month’s copy of Mojo and a proprietary brand of online music vendor with the vague notion of opening the review section at a random page and buying [...]

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 [...]

Not entirely sure where I’m going with this one, but I suspect that it’s not going to be down sun-dappled pathways. I’ve not done much “From the Past” things of late; this is partly to do with a whole bunch of really good new stuff, but also because the Past has been something that I’ve [...]

Diagrams – S/T EP

No comments

There’s something altogether refreshing about a debut EP.  It’s the whole “this is what we can do and this is how we can do it” nature of that initial introductory gamble that will either endear them to their new audience and leave them wanting more, or confuse the bejaysus out of everyone.  This EP is [...]

Twitter’s been in for a rough ride this week.  It’s being blamed for last week’s riots in London, Birmingham and Manchester, rather than decades of social ills and wealth distribution, alongside a constant deluge of adverts telling people that “if you don’t have this the you’re useless” consumerism.  Naughty Twitter. And then there’s the troublesome [...]

Bloody typical.  Last full Lunar Eclipse around these parts until 2042, and it’s cloudy.  Still, all things considered, in 2042 we’ll possibly all be living on the moon watching the Earth eclipse the Sun.  So, swings and roundabouts then.  In any case, it’s due to start in about 20 mins here so there may well [...]

46 Seconds.   When Fleet Foxes first made the title track of this new album available for our eager ears to take in a couple of months ago, 46 seconds was the exact time when that song changed from being something very good turned into something utterly astounding.  Since then, it’s felt like an interminably [...]

It feels like ages since I wrote about a record from my younger days, and how certain music shaped my understanding (or otherwise) of the world around me at the time.  It’s not because of a lack of direction-changing records in my past (far from it; I have oodles), but a combination of ‘not feeling [...]

It must be an annoyance for any artist or band to have to wait several months or longer for their work to be released in certain territories (or at all).  Red Tape, waiting for some besuited thinktank to determine the most advantageous release window like some bizarre musical feng shui, or just trying to get [...]

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 [...]
