[2] There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings. [3] It is anything. [4] It is everything. Some brand new (relatively eerie) yet very-thoughtful hip-hop heading your way [...]

WOAH. February already? It only seems a few days since we were all glum about taking down those Yuletide decorations for another year… Well, in some cases it actually was a few days, which is possibly a lesson in arsing yourself to Actually Do Stuff. Those new year resolutions about being POSITIVE, PROACTIVE and PRODUCTIVE are evidently falling by the same wayside they disappeared down last year. The only possible solution is to ensure that our gig schedules are as full as possible for the next few weeks. And given how skint we’ve all been throughout January, it’s ...

A few weeks ago I posted a selection of my favourite songs of 2011 . A selection of 15 or so powered by the beauty of You Tube. Since then I have read some excellent lists that went a whole lot further. Up to 100 in fact. Like here , here , here , here and here . So I decided to create a list for myself. No real reason other then that I like to create lists. I see some list makers will limit each artist to only one song. Some go unlimited. I have decided to compromise. A limit of three songs per ...

War On Drugs">The War On Drugs‘ video for “Brothers” takes a hostage situation to delightfully creepy heights. Dubbed a “western nightmare” by directors/brothers Ben and Alex Brewer, the video features a gun-toting geriatric, scenes from old Westerns and plenty of duct tape. Shades of “No Country for Old Men” come through, fitting perfectly with the band’s atmospheric [...]
