I didn’t originally intend this to be a two-parter, but when I got to twelve songs with the distinct impression that I’d forgotten a bunch, I thought I’d be safe and do this in two sections. That way I can bung stuff in at the end that I forgot first time round. Part one is [...]

Songs Of 2009 (Part One)
Or rather, great songs from good albums that came out this year. Or great songs that weren’t on an album at all. Or great songs that were on albums that I never got round to listening to. Oh, just great songs, alright? (Some of my favorite songs are actually on favorite albums, so see here [...]

And A Merry Xmas To Everyone
A very quick post today, as I have to go and eat lots more food, following up on last night’s Wigilia Extravaganza. No more vodka for me, thanks. *boilk* Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas, and that you can’t move by four o’clock this afternoon. Ah, gluttony is such fun! In the meantime I [...]

Albums of 2009
After many months of deliberation here at L&L Towers (ok, it’s just me sitting there looking out of the window trying to remember what on earth I’d done all year), I’ve put together my top albums of the year. Like the Albums of the Decade (starting here), the idea was to only choose albums which [...]

New Music – Oscar Charlie
Now, I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but one of the real joys of writing this blog has been getting emails from people – readers, bands, PR people, anyone really. From kind words about the blog to people’s own tales (one fella, Scott, emailed me a great story about the Bhundu Boys that I must [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Six), And A Song
This is the final part of six-part series, of my albums of the decade. It’s a totally personal view, of albums I’ve listened to tons and love dearly, rather than good albums with some great songs on. If you’d like to read the rest, here’s Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four and Part [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Four)
First off, let me say, oh balls, I missed something… Devendra Banhart – Rejoicing In The Hands (2004) Pretty much kicked off the whole freak folk movement. Not quite as mind-boggling as his first album, but a far more listenable and loveable record. MP3: Will Is My Friend by Devendra Banhart Buy “Rejoicing In The [...]

Albums Of The Decade (Part Three)
Here’s part three of my list of albums of the decade. These are albums I love and have listened to, ooh, hundreds of times over the years. Pretty much all of them are still on my very full iPhone, instead of more current stuff like Animal Collective or whoever, because they are great. Oh yes. [...]
