"If you don't love me, somebody else will."
Artists mentioned:If you've not already, you should dive straight in to the new Lil Wayne album, 'Tha Carter 3', which features Weezy getting down with an all star list of producers and guests, and sounding pretty damn good at it too. I always found Babyface to be a little too sickly...(read full post)

Off he goes
Artists mentioned:I like waking up on Sundays and having a listen to a record I know others wouldn't approve of, but while they're in bed sleeping off the previous evenings booze I can listen to all the hairy rock music and techno I like. This morning, I've dug out a record...(read full post)

Wow.
Artists mentioned:I saw the Dirtbombs at Ruby Lounge last Saturday. As readers of this blog will know, Dirtbombs frontman Mick Collins has been writing about his favourite Detroit tracks on here for a little while now, and has many more planned once the band have finished their hectic tour. I managed...(read full post)

Lazy journalism.
Artists mentioned:I've found myself confronted with a couple of callous comparisons over the last few days. Firstly, on Thursday night, I discovered that Ladyhawke is actually being compared to "Tango in the Night" era Fleetwood Mac (which I strongly disagree with BTW) and is being touted as the new Stevie Nicks....(read full post)

Smitten.
Artists mentioned:I was supposed to interview the quite wonderful Those Dancing Days on Thursday, but due to a session they were doing for 6music overrunning we missed the window. I then went home and missed their gig. I'm a retard. My mate Ben went, and to quote him they "absolutely blew...(read full post)

Time for some action.
Artists mentioned:Damn, this is too good not to share. N*E*R*D have their third album, 'Seeing Sounds', dropping in the next week or so, following on from the excitement generated by 'Everybody Noze' and 'Spaz'. Despite declaring that they would not be returning to the studio following 'Fly or Die', this is...(read full post)

Radio
Artists mentioned:At work, we listen to 6Music. It's pretty much the best station on the UK airwaves, though some older listeners will say it's got a bit too talky over the last 12 months. I'm a huge fan though, and it introduces me to loads of new stuff, and reminds me...(read full post)

Little Bit.
Artists mentioned:Lykke Li puzzles me. Her dress sense has a nod to chav-chique, her voice is little and cute, and her tunes range from the tender to the danceable. She's not the kind of artist I would usually like, yet, following on from her perfomance at the Roadhouse in April, I...(read full post)

Crush on you
Artists mentioned:Wow. I found this when scouting around online for the Lumidee track earlier. I had a vague memory of it from my junior school days. I'm pretty sure I danced to it once, and I'm sure I got it on a flexi-disc mounted to a copy of Look-in or something...(read full post)

Spiritualized Vs Embrace
Artists mentioned:Gav, one of the guys I work with, last week surprised me when he turned around and said that he hated Spiritualized. Fair enough, I hate the Flaming Lips (yes I know, but I do) so it's no big deal if someone doesn't like a band I do. I then...(read full post)

Bleed
Artists mentioned:The new Kleerup album came through the other day. I've not listened to it all yet, though his collab with Lykke Li is pretty good. If you're a fan of the Robyn thing he did, I reckon you'll enjoy this too.MP3 Kleerup - Until we bleed (Feat. Lykke Li)...(read full post)
