There's a been a small battle of the planets going on in the night sky this past month. [ image source ] Mars has been spoiling for a fight since December. You might have seen him up there, an orange-y little blot amongst the stars: Mars, Bringer of War , with an army of little green men always at hand, ready to board their UFOs and launch a Martian invasion.

Floorboards creak all night long in our house; the ghosts must go soon, all night they tremble and fold their secrets in the growing heat of the trees. I remember again the night my roots exploded and mud sloshed in my guts. How you resex the swinging trees and sing our trembling skins to sleep. - Spencer Reece. Ghazals for Spring.

I'll admit that I had no idea who Perrey & Kingsley were, but I will be looking for their music in some record stores shortly. Why am I posting some random duo from the 60's? Well because a certain Siriusmo sampled one of their tracks for 'High Together' and the original 'One Note Samba', is a delightful (and cute) track which is worth checking out! ♫ Perrey & Kingsley - One Note Samba [ M ] ← ♥ ♥ ♥ [...]

For quite a while now the floor in my room has been covered in little piles of old records I've accumulated in bulk over the last couple of years. I figured I might as well share some of the more noteworthy finds amongst seas of complete bollocks (I love that word.) It could be a bit of harmless fun or it could start violent riots... We'll see. A member of the genuine quality family is Brazilian muso Eumir Deodato who, until finding a couple of records in the stacks, I hadn't listened to very much. The [...]

Part Two of the Father Abraham " Listen To This " and a chance to redeem myself with two musical selections following his underwhelming response to the magnificence of Afrobear. I would protest that PolarBear wasnt really moaning about the hardships of making music, but more the humour of getting recognised while still struggling. Elsewhere Abraham's selections had me imagining I could cut it on the dancefloor in tight white pants, while his second choice reminded me of my utter failure with girls in my teens (a sentence with three more words than necessary if ever there [...]

" Listen To This " is back after a well earned nap with another special guest contributor revelling in the role of showing me the MP3 blogger up as a musically illiterate half-wit. 2009 has been a year of mixed fortunes for Father Abraham. On the one hand he's recently joined the ranks of the non-bailed out unemployed so he's rapping about his Ford Taurus one week and having to sell it the next. So far so fed up, but on the plus side he's in the creative form of his life. [...]

Earlier this week NASA celebrated the 40th anniversary of putting some good wholesome American men on the moon. It was one giant leap for mankind, and one great big Nerr-Nerrr-Ner-Nerrrr-Nurrrrr to the Russians who had, until now, been lapping the USA in the great space race . But no one spared a thought for the lonely cosmonaut, sitting in his rocket, orbiting the moon, watching the live footage on his miniature control panel. He thinks of his girlfriend down there on earth, as he whistles a forlorn little ditty into his Soviet-issue [...]

Smash Mouth : Walkin' On The Sun [ purchase ] It's been about a decade, so I think it's a fair call to say Smash Mouth belongs to the pantheon of two-hit wonders . They last made the charts in 1999 with All Star, from Astro Lounge, which followed 1997's Walkin' On The Sun. Nick Lowe says if you're going to nick a tune, do it outright and be shameless about it. Smash Mouth followed that advice and "borrowed" the opening riff of Swan's Splashdown [...]
