Not Favours For Sailors though.  ...

Imaginary Insomnia Sleeping People, Rumah Sakit and Three Mile Pilot are three of Kenseth Thibideau’s more famed projects, but it’s his first solo album that is creating all the excitement right now.

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot
Gallops Genre: Other / Experimental From: Wales, United Kingdom Credit where credits due.

LATITUDE 2008
HOVE FESTIVAL PART THREE
Venue: The other Hove, the one in freaking Norway Teaser: Richard Artrocker is led astray by Blood Red Shoes, given free beer tokens, and left to ponder the very obvious size difference between Jack White and Beck.
