This intimate performance marked the start of what will hopefully be a year in which I see much more live music. And what a way to kick of the year. Not only do Aqualung hail from my home town of Southampton (thus automatically grating them exclusive license to a place in my heart) but they […]

How does my MP3 player know how the link Leonard Cohen’s ‘Joan of Ark’ with The Smiths ‘Big Mouth Strikes Again’? The Nomad Zen would appear to be more intelligent that its sleek aluminium shell would have you believe. Indeed it would appear to have a musical knowledge to rival mine if the latest offerings […]

The latest firmware for the Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0 MP3 player adds some much needed nifty features. The biggest and most important change being you can now get the jukebox to pick any track from up to 16,000 that may be stored on the machine. This can throw up a few surprise tracks that […]

I’ve been getting into the music of Brighton based folk-type band Salter Cane recently. I downloaded four tracks from their site a few months ago and have been enjoying them on a daily basis since. To me they have a Tindersticks/Nick Cave type feel to them but I actually prefer the Salter Cane tracks to […]

I’ve been listening to Belle and Sebastian since first seeing them play the theme from “Teachers” (The Boy with the Arab strap) at Glastonbury a few years back. I’ve not unearthed their back-catalogue yet but The Boy with the Arab strap ranks up there with my favourite albums. Their latest disc, “Dear Catastrophe Waitress” combines […]

This album blends elements from The Orb’s finest moments with Vangelisesque soundscapes and Lemon Jelly sound effects to produce a truly thrilling chillout ride from start to finish. There’s no doubting that the tail end of this album is widescreen post-club smoking music but there’s a couple of very talented musicians at the heart of […]

Kevin Little and Wayne Wonder. Two names synonymous with slick r’n’b. Also two names that sound like they attend every Max Power event going in their beefed up Escort RS Cosworths. Kevin Little was on the radio whilst I drove to work this morning with his peculiar falsetto singing which manages to wrench itself into […]

The new Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s Peppers’ (cheers to Pendant who is currently going through my site and proof-reading it for me for FREE! How topical) compilation almost completely ignores the “One Hot Minute” album just like their live set has since John Frusciante rejoined the band. The token OHM track on “Greatest Hits” is […]

I installed Cool Edit Pro onto my ageing home PC this weekend in order to record the next Deathbru album that may or may not be entitled “Subway to Venus”. It sure was good to have more than 4 physical tracks available to me to record material. No longer must I mix down and bounce […]
