People don’t like change do they? What day is it? Wild Smiles have their debut album Always Tomorrow out on Monday, can we cover it? They’re a great singles band full of ideas, not many of them their own but that’s alright, the bits that don’t sound like the Ramones or Nirvana sound rather like…
No news on the choice of colour today, wonder why that is? Anguish? A gathering of artists and their alter-egos for your entertainment and inquisition? Beg? Steal? A generation less skilled in DIY? Wednesday bloody Wednesday, “Watch this superb new video by Anguish Sandwich. ‘Of Your Heart’ is on the debut LP ‘An Actual Thing’.…
ORGAN THING OF THE DAY: We make no secret of the fact that we’re really enjoying Shepard Fairey colour pallet right now. The pop artist has just unveiled a new George Harrison portrait… “I was honored to be asked by Dhani and Olivia Harrison to work on a portrait poster to coincide with the major…
Five hundred? Never mind, on with it all, have some remixed Swans while we fire up the coffee and deal with this flood. The original version of ‘Oxygen’ is taken from the new Swans album ‘To Be Kind’. ‘Oxygen’ (Daniel miller Mix) will be released as part of a four track single on November 24th on…

We Could Not Agree is an ambitious art show, a show that opened last Monday evening in a delightfully brutal concrete…
Spotted some art from the top deck of a slow moving 55 bus that was weaving us through the building work of Hanover Square (LondonW1) earlier this week, a glimpse of some rather expensive paintings through the big windows of a upmarket gallery that demanded more attention. Made a point of going back the next…
Glorious day don’t you think? Here’s a taste of something new from super furry Diagrams. Phantom Power is from Diagrams’ upcoming album Chromatics, more of former Tunng member Sam Genders’ lush chamber pop glowing with a simple, almost whimsical feel. You don’t need words, there’s the song and here’s a link should you want more. Chromatics is out…
