This is taking a while to type as my right arm, as is its wont, is dangling somewhat uselessly and painfully to the side of me. That I am having to take extra care and consideration about what I type means that not only is this taking a lot longer to do than usual, there’ll [...]

Well, this has buggered up my day. In the nicest possible way though. I was supposed to be catching up on things here (and there’s a lot of catching up to do, a whole bunch of albums sit here untalked-about and about to be joined by others, plus general tidying up and adding things). And then [...]
Hmm. I was going to leave this until Christmas Eve, but sod it. External influences have put me in an incredibly bad mood (someone who wants me to have a crap Christmas has at least in part succeeded, but hey ho), and I’m listening to this as a way of both dissipating, soothing and – as [...]
Well, that’s that plan knackered. What was supposed to happen was – as I tend to enjoy doing with other such highly-anticipated titles – I was going to write about this particular record during its first playthrough. I suspect that this approach is something that would horrify most artists, who would probably want the songs to [...]
And now, a quick advertorial. I don’t usually (ever? Can’t be bothered checking) do this sort of thing, and it’s not even Mother’s Day in this corner of the Empire where I’m typing this, but the band in question are very well-regarded by this blog and the cause is a grand one… EDIT: And [...]
Well, what a strange week that was. Usually, popping down to London is the most stressful for this vaguely-panicked scribe, yet it turned out to be the most relaxed out of four jaunts around the country. They were all well worth it though, it’s nice for me to occasionally realise that I’m not quite as [...]
I’m trying to ease myself into this gently this year. Mostly because this is an even bigger pain to do than it was last year, which is a good thing, as it means that I’ve listened to more new stuff (and, more importantly, enjoyed it) than I did last year. Or, I’ve just been less [...]
One of the plus sides to this new-fangled digital approach to music distribution is that artists or labels aren’t necessarily tied down to traditional release dates. That many still do is probably a nod to tradition and habit more than anything else, as chart-bothering doesn’t seem as exciting as it used to be; overhyped drivel [...]
Another day, another Jeff Klein EP appearing from seemingly nowhere. It’s probably not unfair to say that Jeff has a better handle on the machinations and communities of that there internet than most artists, eschewing the usual route of getting someone in to knock up a website and forget all about it while some poor [...]
It’s not unfair to say that I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while, as the band who came up with one of my joint-favourite albums of the year roll into town. I’d seen frontman Jeff Klein play a few times both as travelling member of the Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins and [...]
