Arise Sir Bob and Roberta, well not quite but.. Now I can’t say I’m a big fan of the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list (I’ve turned my knighthood down several times now) but the thought of Patrick Brill, otherwise known as all round fighter for the right to be arty, painter, arts campaigner (and of…
A Thing of the Say or even a Thing ot the Day? Way to cold to type today, let alone paint (and there’s a lot to paint before the year ends). A slice of black vinyl, none more black. Furia, from Katowice, Poland, really do deliver their Black Metal with a slightly different edge,…
And so here’s a rather delicious one track taste of a forthcoming album, an album, the first great album of next year? An album that keeps up this delightful tone all the way through, that delicate Caravan flavouring, those glorious hints of all things Canterbury, that refined psychedelic edge, a sound that, rather like the…
stuff, things, blah, one more shot in the arm? Something? Anything more before this damned year is done with? Will Kieth make it? Will Cabbage break big on year one from Kevin? Manchester’s next big thing? And how pink is that pink paint? None more pink… Blouin Artinfo are reporting a small (amusing) spat between…

Mexrrissey have a new single, this is a good thing of course, ‘Entre Más Me Ignoras, Más Cerca Estaré’ (The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get), is to be released 27th January 2017 via Cooking Vinyl, here it is right now….. . Seems the band have become “a global phenomenon” thanks to…
Organ Thing? The ever productive Clipping have released a short film interpretation of their rather fine “Splendor and Misery” album, surely one of the albums of the year if we were to make a list of such things, I don’t expect we will, who needs more lists of albums? List? Carparks? Nah, have some more…
UgEXPLODE Records have just this very second announced the following rather important news – “The Flying Luttenbachers is a seminal band which originally existed between 1991 and 2007 and ran a renegade stylistic gamut from hardcore Free Jazz improvisation to rigorous Modernist composition, uniting many threads of outsider aesthetics under the dictatorship of composer…
Back in the summer, some people gathered for a day of going off and things, a celebration in honour the leader of the starry skies and a fundraising benefit concert for Tim Smith, he of Cardiacs stuck down with illness but fighting back… This is indeed a rather beautiful Whole World Window I think you’ll…
