The Lovely Eggs: Put It All On Red
Let’s start with flat truths: this post is to be filed under, “What constitutes ‘new’, anyway?”. The fact is that The Lovely Eggs have been lolling around New Band Town for a while – heck, they’ve even (briefly) been on ANBAD before – so for those of you who like to write furious emails complaining about how ANBAD isn’t as...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Year-End Round-Up Part 3
As the year winds down (or up, depending on half-full or half-empty glasses and whatnot), so does this blog. The Top Albums of 2008 countdown is over, and with this final installment, my weekly mix year-end round-up is now finished. This collection of mixes features themes on solo artists, travel, Scandinavia, autumn, 4AD, more synthpop, literature, more dance, more cover versions, Halloween,...

Hey Venus!
Band name: Super Furry Animals Label: Rough Trade Teaser: SFA are back with their first album for Rough Trade - and Ric braves the surf and the psychedelia to find out if they’re still playing their cards right. Pull quote 2: This is an unpredictable beast, a beast full of Venetian mandolins, Amazonian bongos and unheard of space noises… First para...
NEON NEON
Venue: Fabric, London Teaser: The Super Furry Bip-hop project has made it’s debut performance on UK soil, but how did their electro-frazzle translate to a London Superclub? Emily Kendrick counts the collaborations… Pull quote 2: for a song based around Princess Leia fantasies it ain’t half bad… First para: Neon Neon appear to have come the whole...
