For me, 2010 was one of the best years of my entire life. So many great events occurred in 2010, but none as important as marrying my love Abby. The music was great too. Each post will contain a list of 10 songs with somewhat of a theme. Don’t think too hard. I’m not very [...]

I didn’t plan to make a compilation with just Swedish women. I just stumbled on all these good tunes, either by Swedish solo artistas or by Swedish bands with a female lead singer. Here is some very important information : ) Little Dragon are currently supporting Gorillaz on tour. The band’s Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano [...]

you know the year has flown by when you have to check the song to make sure it’s the right year…saying that it’s been a great year for good music not to mention decade (ooh that might mean another compilation to follow!!). SXSW 09 really set the tone for the year so much that we [...]

I’m over a week into 2010, but here is my best of 2009. I have seen about 80% of the groups on this play list, and the hope is to see the rest in 2010. My highlights would be The XX and Yacht. Notable omissions for ‘09 would be the Silversun Pickups, Muse, the bay [...]

I’ve had this compilation in my head for over a year, so I’m really pleased to finally put it somewhere else. Not sure why these two bands merged in my mind – musically they don’t have a great deal in common, apart from being filed in the ‘indie’ or ‘alternative rock’ section. I suppose what [...]

I recently learnt to record music on the internet with this free (and legal) sound recorder: http://applian.com/sound-recorder/. If you download the toolbar you can simply record any streamed music online and save it as an mp3 file. Thanks for the tip Mr Galvin – very nifty. So here’s a bunch of bands I’ve been meaning [...]

After an hour with Dan Deacon it’s easy to forget which way up is normal. This guy just does not follow the rules. Don’t believe me? Just look at this blatant disregard of the way things work on the indie/dance/rock scene: Rule #1 Let someone else build your stage. Following the support acts, a crowd [...]
Let’s get the disclosure out of the way first: I’ve been a big fan of Chris T-T for some years having been a fellow Brighton neighbor back in the day (the mighty Rifa did a good job on the promotion front). We were witness to some blinding performances with and without the full Chris T-T [...]
