Somehow, I have managed to amass 302 spam messages overnight. Looking forward to reading them all, but sadly I can’t promise to reply to all of them. I’m a busy man. Of course I say busy, I’m looking forward to spending a night outside with a telescope and a cheeky bottle of red while staring at [...]

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 [...]
I usually do these things when I’ve nothing else to do and want to keep my brain in some sort of gear. This time, I’m doing it because I’ve got a pile of stuff on the go and I want to slow the grey matter down a bit, giving myself time to sit down and [...]
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 [...]
I’m probably being a bit unpatriotic or something as I’m typing this as the closing ceremony to the (it has to be said, rather wonderful, once all the corporate nonsense was summarily buggered off) Olympic Games, but it’s on in the background and – as is compulsory with these sort of things – somewhat baffling. [...]
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 [...]
It’s time to dig out the commemorative teatowels and give the posh spoons a bit of a buffing, as Sunday Whatever’s Silver Jubilee is upon us! Or upon me, at least. Anyway, hooray for a series that I just do to keep my typing fingers occupied at times when I generally can’t be bothered typing, [...]
Hooray, past the halfway point! Sort of, anyway – the top ten will be a lot more in-depth as befitting something or other, as tradition dictates. Anyway, the futility of this sort of thing has become apparent today as there are things not on this list because they only arrived today, have yet to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
