Turn On. Tune In. Freak Out…
Elbow - Red (MP3)
Tying in somewhat loosely with Chris’s Talk Talk post…
Stuart Maconie does a show on BBC 6 Music, and if you, like me, are one of ‘the children of the zone’, you will know that it is a show that requires a certain fondness for the obscure. My Monday mornings would be […]
Meanwhile, In An Alternative Eurovision Universe
Sebastian Tellier - Divine (MP3)
Carlsberg don’t do cheesy pan-European pop competitions , but if they did, you couldn’t ask for anything more than this.

Sing Me A Lullaby…
Al Usher - Lullaby For Robert (MP3)
A quick one today before i shoot off into the confines of ‘Little England’ for 5/6 days; which along with it comes the prospect of zero internet connection…
Last year Al Usher released an EP on the Misericord label which is ace (go buy it). He also released a 12″ […]
Drowning In A Sea Of Love…
Fleetwood Mac - Sara (MP3)
Nestled on a Hatchback Cosmic Disco mix recently was ‘Sara’ by Fleetwood Mac. This made me think, and think hard - ‘my favourite Fleetwood Mac record’? Now this is a seriously tough question. Selecting a favourite track from these guys/gals is no easy task (or should that be ‘tusk’). There’s just […]
