Unless you're getting excited about the X-Factor winner's inevitable Christmas release, or happy to step on the band-wagoning, anti-Cowell, counter-single, usually of something equally as pointless, then you can consider December something of graveyard when it comes to discovering new music. Now that the BBC Sound Of 2011 Poll has been announced, most record labels, PR firms, or self-promoting artists are now going to wait until the new year before pushing any serious, new contenders our way. It's understandable, as Christmas retail is for the mass market and the various commentators on music also need holidays too. It's [...]

New project from Jono Ma, formerly of The Valentinos/The Lost Valentinos/Valentines Day: The Movie. Here's something you wouldn't expect - some riffy beach-side crooner psych, replete with Ghostwood's leadman on vocals: Come Save Me by Jagwar Ma Does it make you want to wear weather inappropriate clothing and writhe around in the park? Perhaps it makes you feel like playing frisbee on campus with some mates from politics class? Thanks to RadgeRadgeRadge for the [...]

What do you associate with the word ghost ? From the top of my head it can refer to Halloween, goodbye, Peanuts , white and death. But have you associated the word with the altruistic nature of Ghostwood ? Ghostwood caught my attention way back in 2007, sometime during the band's formation. What is so enticing about the post-punk indie rock band are their perfect productions (it sounds like they've been producing for decades), which is influenced by the likes of Oasis , The Stone Roses and My Bloody Valentine [...]

Ghostwood - 'Rest My Soul' ( mp3 ) I've never been a fan of this Ghostwood before but this track might just change my mind. In fact this sounds like an entirely different band from the young band I heard a few years back. A lot of bands make the trip to England hoping to get deal, for most of them nothing happens and they just come back with maxed out credit cards. Ghostwood did this, as far as I know not a lot happened in terms of deals, but they did record this in London [...]

Upon discovery of this band in the middle of 2008, I've yet to hear anything too awesome as of late. Their myspace page has some goodies, like Red Version, which is a style of Ghostwood that I've grown to like, but the others like I Am Overcast or Rest My Soul are not too awesome. Fortunately, Ghost does not resemble the latter and is a smooth, touching rock song. Ghostwood - Ghost

There's an intriguing wee scene blossoming down in London around a little indie label called Chess Club Records. Toadfans may well have encountered them already as they're home to the magnificient Mumford & Sons, who have been received favourably here at Toad HQ both live and on record . They also look after the affairs of one Justin Hayward-Young, who apparently shares a house with Marcus Mumford, and records under the rockiest of rock'n'roll monikers; Jay Jay Pistolet. His star seems to be on the rise following last year's release, on Chess Club, of a single called We Are Free, [...]

So I planned on honoring All Day Adrian Peterson with this post, since he is a rising superstar in the NFL. I had high hopes for yesterday. The kid can RUN. Sadly, he got hurt in the game. Didn't get the chance to run all over the Packers. But we still have a nice batch of Run songs. Snow Patrol ~ Run (the first mp3 I ever purchased, way back when) Sarah Sharp ~ Run Mieka Pauley ~ Run [...]

Modular bad boy, Muscles , is set to release his debut disc Guns Babes Lemonade just next week. It seems like only yesterday that Muscles was a spry Melbourne kid making synth-pop opus's in his bedroom. Sure he's still doing that, but now people are in love with him. Although it's apparently just leaked onto the interwebbie, it always feels so much nicer to have the CD in your hands and you get to smell that intoxicating "new CD" smell. So go order it at the Mod Shop ! Here's a smattering of [...]
