Wolf Eyes & Andrew WK - Fortune Dove EP (2000)
Artists mentioned:Hi folks. Sorry for the massive break in posting. I moved to London a few weeks back and had trouble getting my internet connected (deja vu), and what with having a new job it looks like i'm not going to have quite as much spare time as I used to...(read full post)

MIT - Coda
Artists mentioned:Now this is a great LP. For those of you who've been loving the neu-Kraut sounds of Holy Fuck, and enjoy mixing your analogue with your digital and your disco with your punk and all of that modern rubbish, this is your mothers milk. In fact you could use all...(read full post)

Willie Nelson - Phases and Stages
Artists mentioned:I'd say that this is probably my favourite Nelson studio album by a fair bit. I'm not quite sure why, considering the albums that surround it are just about as good (those are Shotgun Willie and Red Headed Stranger if you like the songs below and want more), and when...(read full post)

It went straight into the UK album charts at number one, the first number one placing for any release by the band on a national pop chart. I...(read full post)

Cymbient - Out On The Waves
Artists mentioned:Cymbient are one of those bands that sat in my 'to listen to' pile for quite a while before I actually got around to hearing them; mostly because as much as I enjoyed their record, the artwork really stunk. Which is silly, obviously, but then so are they. It turns...(read full post)

My Top Records of 2007
Artists mentioned:I'm drunk and feeling lazy, and thus there will be no flashy graphics to excite you during this forthcoming list of my favourite records of 2007. A bumper year indeed, although isn't every year? People who say it's been a shit year (and there are some every year) just haven't...(read full post)
