Surrender To Howler
Howler From: Minneapolis, United States In 1961 Decca Records told the Beatles that guitar groups were on their way out. With only one genuine honest to goodness guitar band making it to the BBC’s influential Sound of 2012 final 15 long list it would appear that they were a mere 50 years out. If the BBC are to be believed all that’s left to do is order the coffin, draft the obituary...
MIDWEEK MIXTAPE // September 8th 2010
I s it even worth mentioning last night’s Mercury Music Prize? It’s all a bit tiresome now, isn’t it? Oh go on then – The Xx’s snoozesome and underwhelming album won the prize, doing precisely zero to dispell the idea that ‘the Mercurys’ are little more than an award for Coffee Table Album Of The Year. The Xx can now look forward to joining Speech...
The Bowery Riots, and OH MY GOD, MORRISSEY
Last night I met a man in a bar who really likes Morrissey. There are bands that I really like – for example: by a combination of accident and desire, I’ve seen loveable scamps Art Brut a moderately unhealthy seven or eight times. Which, it turns out, is nothing. This man has managed to take the concept of ‘to like’, folded it like the most intricate origami you...
Free The Brighton Twee
Foxes! From: Brighton, United Kingdom Who would have thought that a cassette tape (yes it was that long ago) given away free with a weekly music inkie (the NME since you ask) would still hang like the proverbial albatross around the necks of any band daring enough to jangle rather than rock? Any vaguely twee band with cute, usually but not predominantly, female vocals are casually dismissed...
MIDWEEK MIXTAPE // 15th September 2010
This week I found out that the ‘seaside town that they forgot to close down’ that inspired Morrissey’s Every Day Is Like Sunday is Borth in mid-Wales. I lived near to Borth for a number of years, and can confirm that a light scattering of nuclear bombs, as also recommended by S. Morrissey, would do no harm. The ANBAD Donkey gets Welsh in celebration of the fact. Mixtape...

Much More Than OK
OK Genre: Indie / Country / Pop From: Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom Enter OK, the best-kept secret in Welsh music, until now of course! This four-piece emerged from the depths of the Welsh wilderness early last year, armed with a charm and wit set to overcome the din of today’s down-turned spirit. OK unleash the spirit...
My Top 40 Albums of 2008: Numbers 8 Through 1

The Devil's Festive Top 10
Well there goes another year and with a new one about to begin it’s a good time to reflect another year over and a new one about to begin it’s time to reflect on the year just gone and consider the top 10 tracks that rocked the Devil’s world. How will history judge the world of 2008? The beginning of the end of global capitalism with the world’s financial system in...

Burning the Box of Beautiful Things: Michael Bracewell's Re-Make/Re-Model
I’ve read a fair amount of band/artist biographies with varying amounts of interest(oddly enough, as much as I love the band Pulp, their 400-page biography by Mark Sturdy was one of the hardest to conquer). I stumbled upon Michael Bracewell’s 2008biography of Roxy Music, Re-Make/Re-Model: Becoming Roxy Music, by accident while looking for other Michael Bracewell books. You see, I...

LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM CARNIVAL
Venue: Victoria Park, London Teaser: Don Blandford reports on the BNP slaughtering event in East London. He’s obviously a bit tempted to take the piss out of Hard Fi, but something tells him that there’s a deeper meaning to the day… First para: Thirty years ago a group of gobby punks stuck two fingers up to the National Front and decided to have a party in...
