The latest release from Tucson’s magic men see’s another all instrumental album in the vein of several previous tour accompanying releases. After what myself and some other ‘diehard’ Calexico fans viewed as an off colour release with Garden Ruin, it’s nice to here them step away from the more poppy sensibility of that album – [...]

Situated in the beautiful Galloway Hills, the Wickerman festival is a lovely small to mdium scale festival with a laid back atmosphere. This years festival had a pretty good line up to compliment the the natural surroundings and Scottish bonhomie.

A walk in the park

After attempting and failing the herculian 30 minute walk to the park some 3 or four weeks ago our determination to reach our destination couldn’t have been greater and as such, we only stopped in one pub along the way and even then I had coffee. Least said about the “Red Mist” rasberry bitter my [...]

Thanks to pixelspin for the image
Mogwai: Are Tremendous. This is a fact, verifiable by both science and myself. As such I am delighted to point you is in the direction of an awesome live show by Glasgow’s finest purveyors of post-slint noise terror. The show itself is from Denver, on the US leg of Mogwai’s [...]
Eric Bachman: To the races

Particularly eagle eyed indie kids will spot that this blog’s name take some inspiration from the name of an Archers of Loaf b-side. It’s fair to say I love the Archers as much as any other indie rock guitar band, in fact more than most, if not all. The solo work of singer Eric Bachman [...]

Thanks to gretchen robinette for the Aesop photo.
So yer main man Aesop is back with a 12 inch single and boy, it doesn’t disapoint. Huge bass crunches your speakers, but it’s set back far enough to allow Aesop’s slick patter to come to the fore. The beat is funkadelic, spiraling and slinking, like one [...]

Two briliant songs for you to fall in love with here. First up we have http://www.myspace.com/derwyddondoctorgonzo – try the first song on here. It’s impossibly interesting Welsh language Afrobeat Ska madness and if that’s not your cup of tea, then franky, you don’t like tea.
Second, something almost heartbreakingly lovely. – Please try ‘Allies’ on [...]

Now, everyone likes a bit of surf guitar, right? What if that surf guitar was combined with an insanely geeky love of outmoded technology and wierd science stuff? What if, that was then combined with singing computers?
Yeah?
Like it?
