The curse has finally been lifted. Eduardo started last night’s match against Cardiff, scoring two goals. I must admit, I had a little tear in my eye when Eduardo ran to the crowd to celebrate. I firmly believe that we’d have won the league last season if Eduardo hadn’t suffered his appalling injury – not [...]

Off To The Cardiff Match
Right, off to the Cardiff game now. Thank the Lord, Buddha, Yahweh, and any other deity I can think of right now; Eboue is suspended. Hurrah! And Diaby is injured. Hurrah! Song’s ok though. Boo! So we may well get to see Jack Wilshere, the little 12 year-old terrier, fed with sausages and tripe, running [...]

Review – Hold Time by M. Ward
Hold Time comes at a critical moment for M. Ward. His profile has slowly been building up over five albums, with songs ranging from ragtime (Duet for Guitars #2), fascinating covers (Let’s Dance, To Go Home by Daniel Johnson, and Well Tempered Clavier by, er, Bach), campfire songs (Fuel For Fire), to soulful country rock [...]

Update on Bad Science and LBC
It’s still kicking off over at Bad Science, with letters and emails being sent to and fro. Personally, I am very firmly in the science camp. It’s a tribute to modern medicine that people think that vaccines don’t seem to be necessary. As a child, I had a school friend whose father was crippled by [...]

Woodpigeon, Dirty Hungarians
Got a bit of a cold this morning, and after two 1,000+ word posts on Pitchfork 500, I’m going to be quick today. First of all, here’s some rather lovely songs from Woodpigeon, from Calgary, Canadialand (home of the long-lost Searsy, who got me onto Broken Social Scene back in the day). They’ve just released [...]

The Pitchfork 500 Goes Punk – Sex Pistols to Wire
When I was a kid, punks were scary. Not quite as scary as the skinheads that followed them, but the whole mohican and Doc Martens thing was pretty threatening to a seven year old. Even now, the sight of a proper skinhead in Docs: Still scares me a teeny little bit. But listening to Sex [...]

Deerhunter/Atlas Sound Micromix 19
Those lovely Deerhunting Atlas Sounding folks have done another Micromix, number 19 this time. Wander over here to download. That’s going to be my commuting music in the morning. Thanks chaps! It’s even got the cracking Felt on it: 1. The Monochrome Set – Eine Symphonie Des Grauens 2. Magazine – The Honeymoon Killers 3. [...]

Pitchfork 500 – Bowie to Smith
So, here goes, the first proper part of me listening to The Pitchfork 500 so hardly anyone can read it. As a quick precis, Pitchfork (highly regarded and influential yet somewhat snobby music website), released a book toward the end of last year, detailing the greatest 500 songs from 1977 to 2007. And I’m going [...]

Big Trouble At Bad Science
Ol’ Ben Goldacre has managed to get into a bit of legal strife thanks to posting a 44-minute excerpt from some anti-MMR loon. So, to keep this brief, here’s the link if you can provide any legal assistance to him. And the article linked explains all the trouble, and now includes transcripts of the pointless [...]

Some New Old Music – Grizzly Bear, Here We Go Magic, Devendra Banhart
Little bits and bobs of Grizzly Bear’s new album keep creeping out, mostly live versions. It’s likely to be one of the highlights of 2009 (well, musical ones anyway), and their last album Yellow House was my most played album of 2008. Yes, yes, I know it came out in 2006. I was busy, ok? [...]
