Will Oldham is an odd fellow. From his innumerable monikers, his beard, to his habit of apparently releasing an album every few months, he is on a one-man crusade to corner the “rather eccentric country-tinged singer-songwriter” market. Maybe he’s seen the duller likes of Bon Iver and Ray Lamontagne come along and steal his thunder, [...]

New Music – Super Furry Animals, Here We Go Magic
A nice little email popped into my Inbox this morning whilst surfing Jobserve to try and fend off incipient bankrupcy. It was from those lovely Super Furry Animals, telling me that there’s a webcast tonight at 20:00 GMT, during which the band will be playing their new album, Dark Days/Light Years in its entirety. As [...]

Review – Love’s Easy Tears by Cocteau Twins
Do you ever walk down the road and get the sudden desire to listen to a song that you’ve not heard for years? Happened to me yesterday, it did, and that song was “Orange Appled” by Cocteau Twins. If you were going to play a song by Cocteau Twins to someone who’d never heard them [...]

Arsenal 4 – Blackburn 0 – More Acid, Vicar?
That just takes the biscuit, that does. I had two childrens parties to go to today, so had to miss the game, following the game on Twitter . After about four league 0-0′s in a row, I really was thinking we’d probably balls it up again. Plus, as I was getting my son ready for [...]

Some Live Stuff – Pavement and The Hold Steady
Thought I’d do a few little live numbers today. First off, Cause=Time (top name, that) posted some great Pavement live mp3′s the other day. Here’s the link to the Live section but for whatever reason, I couldn’t get to the post directly. Anyhow, it’s from Pavement’s last show in 1999, at the Brixton Academy. Now, [...]

Roma 1 Arsenal 0 – Who Watches The Penalties?
Ok, dear Reader, I didn’t watch the match. Instead, I decided last week to book tickets to see Watchmen at the local IMAX for last night, forgetting that Arsenal were playing. And the film’s ok, you know, considering they’ve filmed a book widely considered to be unfilmable. Not sure that it was wise changing the [...]

New Music – Phoenix, Foreign Born
I first saw Phoenix supporting Turin Brakes at the wonderful Somerset House, a number of years back. I hadn’t heard of them before and was rather concerned when someone near us said they were French. Now, the French can do many things – cook well, be stroppy, and be insouciant, but music they really haven’t [...]

Arsenal 3 Burnley 0 – Acid In The Cola
Sometimes it’s nice for us to go back to the old days when teams would come and play us and not be all defensive, putting 10 men behind the ball, and actually come and play football. It’s even nicer when we say “Thank you very much, kind sirs!” and proceed to thump them. The icing [...]
