6 Days From Tomorrow

a fan writing things of little importance

Pre-release streams are a bit of a temptation-wringing affair for me – one waits months for a highly-anticipated record to come out, and one week before it’s due to hit stores and mailboxes across the world, there it is in 1s and 0s, which can change the effect of the eventual three-dimensional arrival from “Yes, [...]

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, [...]

Well, this is a nice and surprising end to a pretty dreadful day.  And kind of ever so slightly apt, as this duo/band/collective/etcetera was the (wholly inadvertent) impetus that got this blog going two years ago.  Broken, by the Staffordshire pair (plus myriad helper-outers) responsible for the above is certainly one of my favourite albums [...]

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 [...]

Well, that looks like Autumn out of the way as it’s bloody freezing here and snow is being threatened for the high bits.  It’s also time to start looking at that most subjective and space-filling pastime, the End Of Year ‘Best Of’ Thing.  I was hoping to get a little top 10 rattled off before [...]

Every now and then, something comes along completely out from under the radar and absolutely stamps itself on the subconscious to the extent that it’s hard to remember a time when I wasn’t listening to this.  It’s an album where the mystery surrounding it gently nudges the listener to pay more attention to everything that’s [...]

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster of a week, which makes it all the more important to enjoy what little downtime I’ve been afforded of late. Which reminds me, I’ve completely forgotten to book my travel to and from the Capital for the week after next… The brain has almost completely capitulated for the [...]

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on at the moment, as I can’t remember picking up so much new music on whatever the aural equivalent is of ‘sight unseen’ since my heyday spent hanging out in any one of three record shops (Eastern Bloc, Piccadilly Records and Rhythm Trance if you must know) for whole [...]

I am getting a bit behind with this, to be honest. But it’s for a good reason – not only is the World Cup up & running, but I have been listening to so much new stuff of late (which will hopefully continue tomorrow if Ed Harcourt’s new one turns up in the post) as [...]

Last week’s affair was a bit on the miserable side, wasn’t it?  Ah well, next time I do a ‘theme’ Sunday, it’ll be about something nice and cheery…
