Azealia Banks – 212

In: Music Video| New Music

5 Jan 2012

In news that may well shock you, I was slightly off the pace when it came to Azealia Banks (I think I was listening to some Human League b-sides), but after hearing a heavily – and I mean heavily – edited version of 212 on the wireless yesterday it has infected my head.
She’s come third [...]

Bitter Fingers Radio Volume 18: Quite Good Songs Of The Year

In: New Music| Radio

5 Jan 2012

YES I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE PUT THIS UP IN 2011 but I had some very important Christmas dinner to be eating/wine to be drinking/merry making to be making merrily. And it’s here now so don’t go getting shirty with me – there are more rad jams in here than any one person can really [...]

I rather like We Show Up On Radar and here’s a song of his

In: Music Video| New Music

6 Dec 2011

We Show Up On Radar is the work of your man Andrew Wright, who in addition to being a stand up type of gentleman is also an excellent musician. When he’s not having tremendous fun on his own, you can also find him making noise in the pop band Swimming of whom I’m rather fond.
I’ll [...]

Fred Falke – Aurora

In: New Music

14 Nov 2011

If you’re the sort of person who likes the odd massive tune or two, Fred Falke is a chap that’s almost certainly on your radar. I featured his really rather outstanding remix of Teenage Bad Girl’s latest jam X Girl on the most recent edition of Bitter Fingers Radio, he’s done some top stuff under [...]

Jessica 6 – Prisoner Of Love

In: Music Video| New Music

26 Oct 2011

Now here’s a jam that’s been kicking about a while – when I was working on the very lovely Lauren Laverne show at 6 Music back in May we gave it away as a lovely free download. Fortunately it’s as lovely now as it was then.
Things start well with a particularly healthy donk, setting the [...]

Oh My! – Dirty Dancer

In: Music Video| New Music

24 Oct 2011

GOOD GRIEF.
I don’t even know where to start with this one, because it has everything I’ve ever wanted in a pop record in three minutes and forty seconds of RIDICUAMAZING action.
It’s not just the wonderfully bored sounding spoken word vocals, or the fact that it’s fast enough to entice someone with as little natural grace [...]

Swimming – Neutron Wireless Crystal

In: Music Video| New Music

20 Oct 2011

If I had to be pinned down to my favourite band named after a recreational/sports-based activity – and I’d like to stress that I’m in no way happy about this situation – then I’d probably have to go for the Bitter Fingers favourites Swimming. There’s pretty much no getting them off this blog, in fact [...]

Alex Winston – Velvet Elvis

In: Music Video| New Music

14 Oct 2011

Much earlier this year I threw my not-inconsiderable weight behind Alex Winston due to her having some quite good songs. I am pleased to report that some eight months later the situation is very similar, as pertains to quite good songs at any rate.
Velvet Elvis is out on Monday 17th October, so this seemed as [...]

Bitter Fingers Radio Volume 17: Guava Avoidance Strategies

In: New Music| Radio

10 Oct 2011

I’ve only been back up to the Wilton Way Café to record another triumph of a show for London Fields Radio. And now, dear reader, you can shove it in your ears. It was a lovely day in Hackney, and despite messing up the recording so it was in mono it all went rather well. [...]

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Garden

In: New Music

5 Oct 2011

YES I KNOW IT’S BEEN BLAAHDY AGES but I’ve been on holiday and doing “other stuff” so that’s that. And this is this! “What is this” I hear you cry, and with good reason because thus far this paragraph hasn’t made a tremendous amount of sense. Don’t expect that to change any carriage return soon.
Despite [...]
