October 2018

OK im back yesssssssssssss! right lets have a quick dance Out of the window (not litterally) by Confidence Man, My oh my!  Sunshine in my eyes!!! – Then watch out for some Renegades by X Amassadors. Some Pigeon Dectectives, Enemy Lines from the Album Broken Glances, very dramatic.

Sidestepping swiftly we get to Goldon Smog, Even Golden Smog, You make it easy, oh yes you do! Then the stunning er The Stunning with Brewing up a storm or infact a nice cuppa – quite retro indie funky sound….

And then randomly just in case you want some live stuff, an acoustic version of Shed Seven, Going for Gold ahhhh

I had been mostly listening to…

Oct 2018 – Erm new sounds coming soon, honest… see above!

A random selection of music that may or may not influence you, it might just make you all angry and head towards the coffee machine in a huff. But it also might make you go ‘ooer I rather like that, I’ll need to explore more of his/her/their stuff’… Anyway Im always open to new suggestions, so mail me if you have any you think I should be getting into ! and yes i know its mostly a friday thang (and erm not that frequent either, come on CB!! pull ya finger out!)…

June16 – 2016 – Right I’m back, you know work does really get in the way, but anyway, so first up excellent new single: Red hot Chilli’s Dark Necessities followed by a bit of the good old Kasabians Days are forgotten, its not new but i like it so there you go! A terrific track now here from someone you might not know of, Winning Streak by Glen Hansard followed by some avant garde tune: Push off by the Palms and finally some hammond organ funky coolness from the reliable Charlatans: Come home baby More to come no doubt but hey thats enough to keep you going for a while!

Dec 4th – 2015 – So quite liking the following, very good to work to at home, not to intrusive! – Public Service Broadcasting – The Race For Space also like this: Mac Demarco – Salad Days and this terrific track from the Foals! Foals – Night Swimmers (mentioning the Foals you must listen to this too: Foals – Mountain At My Gates ace track!

Oct 23 – Thought i’d share this one withe you: Greg Laswell – farewell

Oct 2014 – Under the influence? no but having moved to Gods Own Country, i’ve been sampling lots of tasty yorkshire ales and so have become side-tracked, that and doing my real job, anyway I digress… Music? not much to lob your way as such, but Unkle Bob (http://unklebobband.tumblr.com/) have a new album out and also Ryan Adams has new ‘un (album) whom im hoping to check out soon… and obviously relate that vital information back to you dear reader!

Tues  14 May  –  Look i’ve been busy right? real life has got in the way of updating this website, but here are a few things to tide you over for yet another grey wet day… First up  a great cake resource for us Londonders: Great Cake Places, click here for spongetastic goings on. Next up, back to the music, lets try ‘Loosen your hold‘ by a band called South, quite Turin Brakesesque but good I like it, goes well with my cake ahem. Lastly ‘You’re not the one I want anymore’ By Alex Cornish form the Album Call Back.

Tues  19 Feb  –  Im on a new music bender! well newish as the ace Unkle Bob are now defunct (well as a full band), but still some great tracks to be had such as ‘So Sorry‘ and from the new solo EP ‘Letters’ Cold water

Tues  19 Feb  – Inhaler from the new Foals album ‘Holy Fire’ (a little groovy, a little heavy in places, shakes off the morning cobwebs) and the 2nd track ‘My Number’ is also pretty darn good
