The Great Inbox Clearance is my way of getting through the overwhelming number of emails we received after taking a week off. Check out this post for the details behind the project. That post will also explain why lemurs are involved. There's a fella from a management group called Banter who sends me multiple emails every week promoting several of the bands that Banter represents. The quality of the music he sends me is almost-always very good. However, the number of emails received - combined with my [...]

Yes, this is a little late, but it doesn't really matter anymore. I've made some very slight changes to the list - some songs I lost interest in after a while, some I moved around, but the top thirty have remained the same. 2009 has been a good year for music, perhaps better than its predecessor, but these songs take some beating. I think the best thing to do is to stream the tracks while reading. Or just download them all, whatever's good for you. All the rather lovely artwork for this list is by Anika , who also [...]

Used to label UK band Kni9hts the “ best unsigned band in the world ”, but as mentioned in February last year the band is now working under the alias The Number (though the band mysteriously remains unsigned, thus holding on to that label). Up until a few days ago, the band had been awfully quiet since announcing the new name, but then the band finally broke the silence and uploaded 3 new demos to their Myspace page. (Luckily) the [...]
The cold weather has descended upon Tampa, dipping below freezing and killing the top quarter of my beautiful-gold-whatsit plants*. I'm countering Mother Nature's devious meteorological move with my usual trustworthy defense: excellent music! You may chill my bones, cold weather front, but the music warms me back to life. Well, technically it makes me dance, which then warms me back up. Close enough, in my book. * Not their scientific name Photo by Giulia Mazza Here's a track [...]

Catching a cold and am sneezing every 30 second; or at least it feels so. I’m fully aware that right now I’m paying the price for my behavior Saturday evening (and night for that matter), where I was running around outside in the cold drinking and partying like an 18 year old, and completely ignoring that I am in fact a middle-aged man, who should always go to bed before 10 pm, never leave the house when it’s freezing and refrain from drinking anything stronger than mineral water. Luckily I have my own office, so my colleagues don’t have to [...]

Wife's out, kids are sleeping, but no beer since it is Tuesday evening. Mailbox is jammed and there are plenty of blogs to check out. Maybe something interesting will pop up? Ivan has written a rather entertaining post on his trip to All Tomorrow's Parties . xyz

{ via } A Classic Education - What My Life Could Have Been This band is going to make a great debut album, if they keep coming up with songs like this, something so good and forcefully upbeat that I plan on waking up to it tomorrow, and seeing what wonderful things happen during the rest of the day. {Holy wow it's nearly December! The lists are [...]
Ecco un ottimo prodotto italiano da esportazione. Si chiamano A Classic Education e vengono da Bologna. Sono capitanati da Jonathan Clancy, che come altri due membri della band, fa parte di un altro ottimo gruppo italiano i Settlefish. Come troppo spesso accade in questi casi hanno più successo all'estero che in Italia e lo dimostra il fatto che per quest'anno sono stati selezionati per il prestigioso festival americano SxSW 2010 . Ora gli ACE hanno realizzato un nuovo singolo intitolato What My Life Could Have Been , in uscita per l'etichetta [...]
A Classic Education (out of the apparently lush music scene of Bologna) sent over the link to their new FREE single out on Holiday Recs, dont you just love when people hand out music for free ? The eponymous a-side is a dashing one; with an interesting choice for b-sides "Toi" by classic chanson francaise singer Gilbert Bécaud. A Classic Education - What My Life Could Have Been
Something very, very unusual happened yesterday, as I honestly cannot recall the last time I went an entire day (holidays not included), without being on the Internet for just a couple of minutes. We probably have to go as far back as 1996, but as written I'm not really sure. But anyhow this is exactly what happened yesterday and I’m rather surprised how well I dealt with it. And it does look, as if the www did behave quite nicely in my absence, so no harm done really! Working close to the city centre sure does [...]
