Très occupé / Very busy                          ——————————————————————————————-           A l’approche de la fin de l’année universitaire, nous sommes vraiment très occupés. Apparemment pas suffisamment pour devoir abandonner le blog, mais juste assez pour faire des playlists peu inspirées. Après tout, c’était cela ou un n-ième article sur la politique française.                          ——————————————————————————————-           As the end of college year is approaching, we are really busy. Obviously not sufficiently to abandon the blog, but just enough to make not-very-inspired playlists. After all, we had to do this or an n-nth article about French politics.                          ——————————————————————————————- 1. Calm Like You - The Last Shadow Puppets 2. Plans - Grizzly ...

Virals est le nouveau projet de Shaun des Lovvers, un groupe anglais assez cool maintenant splitté. J'ai leur album quelque part ce serait peut être l'occasion de se l'écouter... Vendu comme une "double A-side" (les anglais semblent adorer les doubles faces A) ce premier 45 tours (suivi prochainement d'un EP 12 pouces chez Tough Love ) ne ment pas sur la marchandise, les deux faces sont excellentes avec une préférence en ce qui me concerne pour la face B " comes the night " et ses faux airs de Teenage Fanclub. Pour situer on est dans un registre qui ...

WHAT: The centre of Wakefield turns into a multi-venue showcase of greatness WHY: Because we went last year and had a fun day out, the promoters Rhubarb Bomb punching above their weight, not to mention that of the local venues' capacities (oxygen or Wave Pictures? Tough call) WHEN: 1st-3rd June, the bulk of the big bands on the 2nd WHERE: Eight venues across one area of Wakefield WHO: The Vaselines, Art Brut, Aidan Moffatt & Bill Wells, Napoleon IIIrd, Standard Fare, Runaround Kids, This Many Boyfriends, The Twilight Sad, Evans The Death, Herman Dune, Let's Wrestle, Withered Hand, White Town ...

REVIEW OF DJANGO, DJANGO/OMNIVORE DEMON - STEREO, GLASGOW - WEDNESDAY 29 FEBRUARY 2012 This was a gig originally scheduled for 10 days earlier but postponed due to illness.  It was one I was talked into going along to by MG  - a friend from waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy back in the mid 80s who I don't see all that often nowadays and who this year is re-discovering his love for music and going out to gigs after a long absence mainly due to his duties and responsibilities as a dad (and a really good one he is too!!). I kind of felt guilty going ...

Say what you will about the occasional inconsistencies of The Twilight Sad's recorded output but live they've always been an entirely different proposition. Read the full story on DrownedinSound.com

Supported by Childhood It was supposed to be a three band performance tonight but Let’s Wrestle cancelled last night’s London show due to illness and they don't make tonight's either. Their loss is Childhood’s gain who are promoted to main support and a later slot. They are, I believe, Nottingham based Londoners. It doesn’t start too well for them, the sound is muddy, but it’s soon sorted. At first, I think, typical indie. Could have been anyone. Probably were. Then they get a bit of a jangle going. Hmmm, quite nice. Catchy. Pleasant ...

REVIEW OF THE TWILIGHT SAD : GRAND OLE OPRY, GLASGOW : THURSDAY 9 FEBRUARY The latest stop on the year long adventure was the Grand Ole Opry, the largest country and western club in the UK. It's a fantastic but very rarely used venue for gigs in Glasgow and located in a part of the city over in the south-west which in places hasn't changed since the 60s or 70s. There's no better illustration of this than our rendezvous for the pre-gig drinks...a pub called The Old Toll Bar...a pub for which the word traditional may very ...

Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let’s Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau ’90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let’s Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – [...]

Devo dire che alla decima classifica dei dischi di fine anno suonata in radio pensavo avrei cominciato ad accusare un po' di stanchezza. Invece continuo a trovare divertente quel mettermi lì una sera di dicembre a cercare per casa e tra i vari computer tutti i dischi ascoltati, tornare sulle parole scritte qui o altrove per provare a raccontarli e racchiudere tutto in una sola istantanea. L'abituale disclaimer recita: questi non sono "i migliori dischi dell'anno secondo me", ma soltanto quelli che mi hanno fatto più compagnia nel 2011. Fate conto che sia un piccolo diario in musica ...

It’s starting to look like people recall the ‘90s pretty well. Call it nostalgia, call it remembrance, just plain call it copyism if you will – either way, there seems to be a hot mess of bands reactivating pre-millennial American indie rock. Some of them are even pretty good at it. Take London’s own Brown Derby, for instance. They specialise in perky powerpop that’s more than slightly reminiscent of Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr. and a slew of others whose records are currently listed on eBay for hair-raising sums. But man, there are worse jams to take your cues from ...

As British record labels struggle to recover from the PIAS warehouse fire, the newly formed Love Music Hate Violence group has organised a compilation record to raise funds. It’s going to be download only, and they’re still organising the full tracklist, but Enter Shikari, Let’s Wrestle, Rolo Tomassi and others are involved (and Simpson">Charlie Simpson, so oh well). Enter Shikari singer Rou Reynolds explained why you should buy this: “A lot of the UK's indie labels – including our own Ambush Reality label – had a majority of their stock there, and now it's all gone ...

Words: Saam Das It's September. Already. Another month goes by and another singles column is complete. As ever, ten of the best singles of the month and no dating advice to be seen anywhere. Or at least not here. Because that would be terrible. Anyway, the photo above hints at the winner of the August single of the month. To listen to that track and more, keep reading. Noah And The Whale - 'Life Is Life' (1 Aug) STREAM: Noah & The Whale - Life Is Life Treading between synth-pop and MOR rock comes yet another excellent Noah And The Whale single ...

Brighton label Palmist is some what of an oddity in this world of big shot A&R; men trawling toilet venues in order to sign the next big things to their multi-million pound labels. Instead palmist is run without turnovers in mind, or a certain amount of digital downloads, they are well and truly all about the music adopting a very DIY style of record production. So far, only limited run vinyl have been released of artists they feel deserve attention, and these two bands Beaters and Prize Pets sure as hell deserve recognition. Beaters don’t waste any time, on ...
