It's about time we heard some fresh noise from former Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland and his new album has plenty of it. The double disk, twenty track monster that is Happy In Galoshes should certainly put a smile back on the faces of Velvet Revolver fans. Now not every track is going to be a top ten hit but the record still has its highlights, however, you do get the feeling that a few concept tracks were left on to make up the numbers. The variety on display is honestly [...]

The boys of Lime Green Shirt ( Archangel , Sylock and Cosine ) put together a tune called ' FrosTAY ' for Xmas '07. And it was amazingly ridiculous. They returned with a remix this year and I took a swing at remixing the remix. Hope you dig. Or at least laugh a little.

THE PLAYLIST THAT BRINGS INNER P EACE ... Jesus, is it December already? Then I must be ten posts behind schedule by now, better pull out something special to make up for the lack of activity round these parts recently...... How about the the follow up to last months encouragingly successful ZenList ? Ten of the most head turning tracks from serious talent and seriously talented amateurs alike, cherry picked from the dozens of artists all eager [...]

Anyone else notice that I've missed the Friday mixtape? It wasn't intentional- rather, I spent the holiday getting a killer cold (again! this season sucks!), and am still recovering. I've managed to pull something together for a MONDAY mixtape, but it's just not the same. I've gone nearly three years without missing a Friday, and now this. It's like the Chelsea home record lately. Anyway... I'll do better in 2009. Tracklisting: Archangel - How To Lose Your Best Friend Blind [...]

Archangel , a.k.a. Nick Webber, has been in my CD pile for some time now. The only reason I haven't written about him is that it's so good I couldn't stop listening long enough to say something smart about him. I still don't have anything smart to say, but I do have something honest to say - this is pretty great. The first few times I listened to 'How To Lose Your Best Friend', I couldn't help but feel it was like hearing Chris Corner (IAMX) fronting the Foo Fighters (the track's melody is eerily reminiscent of 'Everlong'). [...]

This week I've been OBSESSING over one-man-band 'Banjo Or Freakout'. His beautifully hand-packaged CD 'Covers' features choice cuts from artists such as Burial, Sonic Youth and Pavement reinterpreted as whacked-out, echo-drenched ballads. Check the version of Burial's "Archangel': Banjo or Freakout - Archangel Now go buy the CD .

[Photo credit: Good Day ] MP3: Archangel - How To Lose Your Best Friend Pumping indie-funk probably wouldn't work without this one man at the helm, playing all the instruments, controlling the direction, perfecting every piece, riding solo and powering through. Archangel demonstrates that as Tom Vek did (and with similar funk, dance sensibilities) a one man attack is a smart attack. The album is good good great, hear more at myspace . ********************** Recently: The NBGL Gigslist is [...]

what do joy division and burial have in common? and how about banjos and freakouts? if you're starting to feel a little disoriented, don't worry as that's exactly what's going through in my head right now as i listen to banjo or freakout 's cover of burial 's "archangel". banjo or freakout is the schizophrenic moniker of london-based alessio natalizia from turin, who's been making dissonant waves lately resembling a more freewheeling atlas sound. in his version of "archangel", there is indeed both banjo and freakout working in distracting tandem with each other. while the vocals seem to [...]

What a few months it has been. I apologise to those that have sent emails unanswered and similar, but I have finally finished listening to the backlog of music and have made this mixtape with what I think have been the highlights that I have missed while I was away travelling the Middle East (This was actually delayed for an exra week due to my laptop finally giving up the ghost). The trip was just awesome, seeing deserted sights and meeting amazing people throughout Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel. Eventful it was - hit up the photos on [...]

The relatively anonymous world of dubstep producer/artist and nominee for last year's Mercury Prize Burial came to a screeching halt yesterday when the artist himself revealed both a photograph of himself (right) and his real name. For a while there's been some talk about who I am, but it's not a big deal I wanted to be unknown because I just want it to be all about the tunes. Over the last year the unknown thing become an issue so I'm not into it any more. I'm a low-key person and i [...]
