Ting tings are looking up
the ting tings - that’s not my name (mp3)
whilst foraging through your rss feeds or rummaging through your well worn bookmarks you may well have seen this on other mp3 blogs of late. however, i felt compelled to let the unbridled joy of this little ditty into our summer of rain and despair. the sun […]
Beef rock - the fall out report
breakwater - release the beast (mp3)
the yellow moon band - chimney (mp3)
well thanks to all who came down to saturday’s rock special, props are due to mr christopher “stevo” stephenson stevenson for the original guitar-led concept and mr daniel “danny” webb for keeping the place rocking whilst myself and mark got a little worse for […]
A thank you from me…
edwin birdsong - cola bottle baby (mp3)
so it’s the day after, d-percussion is no more, and i can look forward to a good night’s sleep.

Spider-pig
arthur russell - springfield (mp3)
drunk and with a brew to hand, is there really a better recipe for blog magic?

i know kev’s posted a couple of things that […]

The fool on the hillage
steve hillage - octave doctors (mp3)
a lovely beach-kissed balearic instrumenal for a rare sunny day here in manchester, this is taken from steve hillage’s 1977 album ‘motivation radio’. what starts off like a cosmic excursion into nick drake’s ‘joey’ continues to build with multiple layers of echo and guitar licks into a psychedelic haze […]
Blinded by the setting sun
the aliens - setting sun (mp3)
regular readers will know that as well as blethering on about silly records here in our little corner of the internet, we also run a little saturday shindig down here in manchester. long-term regular readers (yes, that’s both of you) will also be aware that this blog was originally set […]
Evans above, timbaland ahoy
tiffany evans - girl gone wild (mp3)
this blog is fast turning into a timbaland love-fest, but that’s pretty indicative of the music scene in general right now - everything mr. mosely touches turns to gold, and he shows no signs of taking his foot off the pedal or following any kind of rules but his […]
Moussa who?
moussa doumbia - mokholou (mp3)
things are a bit hectic over here at the moment, so apologies for the lack of blogging, but i shall endevour to make up for it with this cheeky piece of malian magic.
