I’ve written on here before about how much enjoyment I get out of La Blogotheque. It’s a place where I can meander for hours and discover so much new and brilliant music. It’s been an unsettling week for me and for some reason this spoke to me as soon as I heard it. I love ...
“Jazz is not dead…it’s on a light strewn school bus, kicking ass.” Happy Friday. Yeah, one’s not enough.
Just a video and some blurb from me this week. I’ve had an influx of Take Five requests and finding the time to write and research those along with a post has been near impossible. So, here is my latest musical enjoyment and another recommendation from the modcast. I also like the t-shirt worn by the ...
I love finding new music. By new of course, I mean new to me. I followed a few links around the other night and came across this band. It’s pretty obvious they’re from California, their sound unmistakably of that West Coast influence. Their music conjurs thoughts of that culture; the perfect mixture of sand, sea ...
Regular followers of this blog will know how much I love music. I love discovering new bands as much as I love going over old favourites. The feeling when you listen to something that you haven’t heard for a while and it gives you that feeling all over again is indescribable. A few months ago ...
Bit of Friday afternoon music here. As ever I’m a little late to this band, but I am currently enjoying their album Dissidents & Dancers. Based in Cardiff and being hailed as one of the best bands to see live, The Method combine styles to create an energy and enthusiasm. The album is chock full ...

Yesterday (last night) Em and me went out. True story. Our localish drinking establishment had a music night on which was a bit of a folky affair. All of the acts were excellent. As always I was excited to discover some new music and really enjoyed the main act Boat to Row. Particularly their plethora ...
I first heard of this band through the incredibly insightful Modcast. One of those sit up and shout ‘Who is this?’ moments. As you can see/hear an excellent band. One foot in the past and one in the future. Clearly Janice Graham Band show their influences, of which there are many, but they have that ability ...
I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this band before. Known for their amazing cover of DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing album, Introducing are now putting Mr Scruff to the er, test? No. Not test… um… no, can’t think of it. Wait. Introducing are now covering Mr Scruff. Yes – that sounds right. Everytime I’ve seen Mr ...
