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 [...]
Yes, quite. Just realised that in doing a top 35 (which isn’t exactly 35 anyway), splitting it into chunks of ten will eventually offend some law of mathematics or other. Whoops. Undeterred by this, the last five(ish!) will be individually added daily next week from Monday – although as I’m attempting a jaunt off down [...]
Been neglecting these of late – partly because I’ve been working more Sundays recently (I have a South Coast Beano in December to pay for), partly because when I am in of a Sunday, I’m listening to too much stuff to bother listening to it; but mostly because these things are for one reason or [...]
It seems a bit curious that there were loads of quality tribute albums released in the early nineties featuring acts from the Sub Pop roster and their peers dedicated to bands who had influenced their respective career paths, yet now we are one generation on from this, and these artists remain largely without tribute albums [...]
It’s not unfair to say that I have been very excited about the release of this album. From the first announcement of the band’s inception by way of Jeff Klein’s bifurcation of his Let’s Be Enemies solo project, through the tease of the occasional (and familiar) song title dripfed to the masses and dropping of [...]
