Cortney Tidwell first piqued my attention a couple of years back, after the release of her first album “Don’t Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up”. Hailing from Nashville, she was reminiscent of early 90′s act The Sundays, mixed with the gentle alt-country of Lambchop. Now, the latter wasn’t so much of a shock, given that [...]

The Pitchfork 500 Old Skool – Blow to Three
The first section of The Pitchfork 500 was entitled “Year Zero”, as this was time when rock music effectively started again, as punk exploded into a million shards which spread through the music world. But the next section starts with another almost entirely new musical form – hip-hop (or rap, if you prefer. I’m not [...]

New and Old Music – Warp and Bill Callahan
Warp Records have a special place in my life. When I was getting into dance music, they released a bunch of LP’s under the banner “Artificial Intelligence”. Featuring the likes of Black Dog Productions, Autechre, Aphex Twin (as Polygon Window), B12 and others, they made odd electronic tunes with little or no relevance to any [...]

Live Review – Stereophonics At The Royal Albert Hall
I don’t get out to see many bands at the moment. Partly it’s due to sheer incompetence in getting tickets – especially because, in London, up-and-coming acts have a tendency to sell out before you’ve bought tickets unless you’re really on the ball. Partly it’s that there aren’t many bands I’d like to see that [...]

New Music – The Kingsbury Manx
Many of you may never have heard of The Kingsbury Manx. I hadn’t, until NME reviewed their first album back in 2000 and said that, whilst they didn’t know much about them, the album was great. One very quick listen later and I’d ordered it from Amazon, and even now, “The Kingsbury Manx” gets played [...]

Newcastle United 1 – Arsenal 3 – Barcodes Wiped
5.30 kick-offs are a pain in the backside. If you haven’t got the will to go to the pub to watch it, and you don’t want to shell out money to the horrible Murdoch empire or the comically inept Setanta gang, you end up watching the first half of the match on a hooky stream [...]

Phil Brown Ends Long Arsenal Anti-Intimidation Run
Stating that Arsenal fans had “intimidated his team” during last night’s FA Cup Quarter Final match between Arsenal and Hull City, Phil Brown ended the unprecedented 762-match streak during which Arsenal fans had completely failed to intimidate the opposition. The run, spanning 17 years in all competitions, was without equal in the modern game and [...]

Arsenal 2 – Hull City 1 – Move On, Nothing To See Here
Golly, isn’t Phil Brown a bad loser? His team take a lucky lead against us in this FA Cup Quarter Final, then instead of pressing on and maybe scoring another, they shut up shop, timewaste, and generally don’t bother to really play football. Result? About five bookings for timewasting and arguing with Mike Riley (who [...]
