It's been an extremely long week (so long, in fact, that it became two weeks), and I'm still feeling a little crabby because I came down with a cold last weekend in the midst of a heatwave in a house with no air conditioning. A few days later, I ended up with some extremely vomitous backpain (if this is me at 26, I may as well call it quits at 30). I'm also just feeling bogged down with work, so I'm going to do a cheer up mix. Frankly, I despise people who tell me to cheer up or smile [...]

Fosca have always been a band that I have liked the idea of. Led by the Dickon Edwards, the self styled 'dandy and fop'. I was always wary that the band were more style than substance. I'd seen the band a few times down the years and they were always 'ok' - occasionally hitting giddy heights - but I had a nagging doubt that they weren't quite the real deal. "I've Agreed to Something I Shouldn't Have" kicks off the LP. That's the song that Fosca released on The [...]

Fosca "Confused and Proud" [taken from the 2008 album The Painted Side of the Rocket on But Is It Art? Records - order the album here! ] Sorry I've been just as lax with updating this thing as ever. Still, to make up for it here's a review of a rather splended new album by Fosca, which you should all check out. Like...right now. ---- There's a school of literary criticism which [...]

But Is It art? released a limited edition Fosca live album, recorded at the Rip It Up festival earlier this year and, now that [...]
