SebastiAn – Embody by edbangerrecords
PRAISE BE. It’s only something brand new from SebastiAn, he of very good electro beats and remixes.
He’s one of those Ed Banger types I enjoy so much (Justice and the few tolerable Uffie songs) that I enjoy so much, and this is a particularly groovy new tune to come back with [...]

The Looks – Screwdriver (Youtube)
If you’re a fan of frantic guitars, stop motion video and tape then you’re in luck today, because Irish band The Looks have all of the above wrapped up in a tidy, video based package.
It has to be said that often the videos made by bands don’t require that much work [...]

Fists – Ascending (Youtube)
Here’s the new video from Bitter Fingers favourites Fists, who regular readers may recall featured on volume seven of Bitter Fingers Radio. Seems like only yesterday Tom Whalley from their label was on discussing the breakfast barter system, which I might add, has caused division up and down the land since it [...]

Belleruche – 3 Amp Fuse (Youtube)
You know, it was only the other day I was thinking to myself “I wish there were more songs that started off with timpani”, and lo and behold here’s a band doing exactly that. It’s like they read my mind! Or I made that bit up for the purposes of [...]

Those crazy cats over at the Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition have only gone and announced the longlist for the competition, which means I can reveal my actual choices that I made. They are all excellent.
Due to a “blogger mishap”, which I like to think means they got eaten by a Mac or perhaps stuck [...]

Regular readers of this esteemed blog/people I know/people I stop on the street and shout at will all be aware that I am very much obsessed with the music of the popular French beat combo YELLE. I think I’ve written about them more than any other band on here, and that is because they are [...]

Panic at the Disco – That Green Gentleman (Youtube)
I realise Panic aren’t the coolest of bands unless you’re a fourteen year old girl, but I hold a special place for them in my heart, and in particular this song.
A firm favourite on my Summer Jams ‘08 mix CD, this song sums up nicely the huge [...]

Childish Gambino – Freaks and Geeks (Vimeo)
Some of you may be familiar with Donald Glover from the excellent NBC sitcom Community, but on the side he also raps under the name Childish Gambino. Above is one of his songs and a very good song it is indeed.
Musically, the beats are influenced by Kanye West, but befitting [...]

The Mighty Wah! – The Story Of The Blues (Youtube)
This isn’t an Innocent Pleasure, or a new music video, or anything like that. It’s just a perfect tune for a Friday.
Please enjoy the story of the blues.

t.A.T.u. – All The Things She Said (Youtube)
Eventually there will come a time where I will post an Innocent Pleasure that might not be innocent by anyone else’s standards. In fact, by most standards this is one of the grubbier ones I could post, but as my love for it is pure it gets a [...]
