Yeah, I know I’m either slightly late or incredibly early with this, but it’s fairly pertinent to be a-writing about this EP in the middle of January, but for one thing there is a large supermarket chain (who, incidentally, started selling chocolate Easter Bunnies on Boxing Day and who are now taking orders for 2013 [...]

When I first started to do these weekend asides around this time two years ago, I had this particular record in mind. Grand Procrastinator that I am though, I never got round to doing anything about it and it wasn’t until last week that I remembered what I was going to do. In the previous [...]
We in Great Britain are rubbish at weather to a ridiculous degree. One of the most boring and temperate climates in the world, and the country goes into meltdown at the first sign of anything slightly different. I use the term “meltdown” in its loosest sense of course, as that would imply that something would [...]
The first record of 2012 is here at last! Well, the first one I’ve got round to buying, anyway. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while after buying their (his?) debut EP on a whim at the end of last summer and really enjoying its baffling stylistic multi-direction, each song suggesting a [...]
I do like singles. Honestly. It’s just that they’re an absolute sod for me to go on about on here due to the nature of how I do things around here, which is basically Put record on Type Stop when record finishes Check spelling (not necessarily in 100% of cases) Check sense made (this one [...]

Eschewing the usual “hello, buy my new thing” standard method of selling stuff, Thomas Morgan Dolby Robertson assembled a [...]
Well, everyone else is doing it. This isn’t the first time I’ve done something on a record that’s twenty years old, and such is the amount of stuff from that period that shaped the way that I listen to music even now, it probably won’t be the last. Where this one is largely unique [...]
Band names are curious things. They can define a group’s soul, sound and attitude without even having to play a note. Chosen wisely, they can draw people to shows and records by sheer virtue of an awesome or mysterious moniker. Or they can pick a really rubbish name like The Beatles and become the biggest [...]
First things first: this is three and a half quid on iTunes. This alone, for thirteen tracks and forty minutes of good-natured and off-kilter indie-pop, is a steal. Which isn’t the only reason why I bought it. I bought it partly because Teenage Fanclub’s Shadows was a huge highlight of last year, this project [...]
