I have to say that the real Mercury Prize shortlist this year is a bit of a disappointment this year in the respect that it’s a bit on the vanilla side. Thankfully this means that everyone can get all in a strop about *their* faves not getting a mention, and this is the real spirit [...]

Um. Yeah. Quite. A bit late, but this blog being down for most of Sunday (I pressed nothing! Honest) coupled with it being a bit sunny and me being a bit lazy has meant that this is now so late, it’s almost qualifying as being early for the next one. So, as it’s a bit [...]
Two weeks of awfulness over, now it’s back to mere drudgery. And now I have a bit of time to myself, I’ve got a small pile to navigate that will start getting bigger after tomorrow plus I’m going to force myself to do the thing I keep saying that I’m going to do and delve [...]
Erm, yes. Well, it feels like one, doesn’t it? Am already one week late with this thanks to illness, so one more day isn’t going to make much more of a difference… Not quite sure what’s going to be happening this week as proper work is going to take up almost all of my time, [...]
I’m not entirely sure if this means that I can’t make my mind up, or that I can’t count, as this technically makes the whole malarkey a Top 51. Then again, even before I started to compile this list I knew that these would be top of the pile, and as I was further [...]
I have to admit to being especially pleased when this album arrived last weekend. Thanks to a friend letting me know in the nick of time that not only was Richard Warren supporting Josh T Pearson in Leeds (after seeing the pair of them play great sets in Manchester earlier in the year), but also that [...]
This was not a gig I was planning on going to see until last weekend (already having a ticket for Josh’s upcoming Manchester show in November), when a friend pointed out that Josh was to be once more supported by Richard Warren it was too good an opportunity to pass up. The impressively CV’ed artist [...]
It’s been a few years since I last saw Josh T Pearson on stage, and I must confess that I don’t recall a huge amount of his set, squeezed inbetween the moody and occasionally shouty Tenebrous Liar and the evening’s headliners the Soulsavers. What I do recall is a set where nobody was entirely sure [...]
This may well get confusing. Because after counting these installments up from one to three, I’m now counting down from five to one. I have nothing against the number 4 in particular (which will hopefully become apparent during the course of my next update), unlike – interestingly enough – people who plan Hospitals in Japan, [...]
It’s quite a good time to be my ears at the moment, with lots of great new music either already here or just around the corner, and plenty of hitherto forgotten things rediscovered and reloved. It’s a crap time to be the rest of me though, as I’m absolutely knackered. Still, the promise of an [...]
