The new Marina and the Diamonds: it’s good news for people who like a donk on it
In: Music Video| New Music
22 Aug 2011It was only a few short weeks ago that I received an email regarding some new material from Marina & The Diamonds. Regular readers of this blog will be aware that I am a bit of a fan of Marina so this was an excellent email for me to get. The track contained inside was [...]
Bitter Fingers Radio Volume 12: Two Festive Fingers
In: Uncategorized
3 Jan 2011After writing up my Festive Ten for this year, I felt that mere Spotify and YouTube playlists weren’t enough to convey just how amazing a year it’s been in music. So, in a first for Bitter Fingers Radio, I’ve recorded a special two-part show playing out in full both mine and Mr. Matthew Sheret’s Festive [...]

Festive Ten 2010
In: Music Video
24 Dec 2010It’s that time of year again. The time of year I pick out my favourite tunes of 2010 and put them on here for you to disagree with. That’s what making a year end list is all about, right?

It’s a sort of comic book, pop art inspired video with all sorts of bright colours and on-screen graphics and boxes of cereal. It [...]
Pile of Promos for 26 July
In: New Music| Pile of Promos
22 Jun 2010In what may or may not become a recurring feature, I listen to some songs that are being released in the future and give my thoughts on them. Some of them don’t make a lot of sense. Some of them are quite erudite. I’ll leave it to you to make the distinction.

After perhaps one of the finest pop tracks of the year in Mowgli’s Road, I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting this track from Marina and the Diamonds.
It’s not as immediately catchy as its predecessor, but stay with it – the heart of a pop superstar is beating very [...]

Wow, so how excited am I by this new Marina record? Like, a lot. I mean, really.
I’ve heard the name bandied around a bit of late, and there’s some particularly interesting remixes, but this is the first time I’ve heard their actual stuff. And wow. Just wow.
There’s a [...]
