• I Won’t Flick The Switches, I Won’t Pull The Plugs; I Know It’s Just Glitches, Glitches N Bugs

  Shortwave Set - Glitches ‘n’ Bugs (MP3)

  When life really drops you in the shit some like to help get it all out to loud angry music, whilst others need the quiet contemplation of listening to sad music. Me, I turn to pseudo-Elephant 6 boy/girl scuzzle-gum Indie pop courtesy of a bunch of South East Londoners […]

• When Your Body’s Telling You You’re Too Old To Party

  Bon Iver - Re: Stacks (MP3)

  Sam Amidon - Saro (MP3)

  As I sit here in my jim-jams at half four in the afternoon I’m certainly feeling the consequences of the first proper night out dancing I’ve had in literally years (Best Foot Forward doesn’t count). It was a fine evening though and the only-just-realised-he’s-getting-old Kev and […]

• I Want You Each And All To Switch Your Tiny Mind On

  Cornershop - Good Shit (MP3)

  Gotta keep chipping away at that list, even if it takes 11 years. Now just don’t anyone even think about mentioning THAT remix: no song deserved that.

• And Not Just Because I Heart Erlend Øye

  Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) (MP3)

  Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… this is sooooooo good!

  Rubicon co-making Frenchman Fred Falke remixes one of the best bits from the yet another can-this-man-do-no-wrong Erlend Øye project that is Whitest Boy Alive and IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS (I’m not sure that even putting it in capitals […]

• So That Was 2007 Part IV

  Trans Am - First Words (MP3)

  I hadn’t picked up on Trans Am before I picked up on ‘First Words’ from the ‘Sex Change’ album the three gents in question released last year. Whilst the album as a whole is not bad, it’s more than a little schizophrenic and doesn’t quite fulfil for me the promise […]

• So That Was 2007 Part III

  Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me (MP3)

  Swedish big girl’s blouse Jens Lekman’s ‘Night Falls Over Kortedala’ wouldn’t have been in my end of year chart had we gotten around to putting together the fabled Best Foot Forward 2007 Round-Up last November or whenever it was going to be. Why? Because I only got a […]

  MAI - Like In A Film (MP3)
