The song list this year has a lot of crossover with the records list from yesterday. I suppose that is to be expected to a certain degree, but I get it's a little repetitive for me to be banging on about the same bands over and over again. Still, that's the nature of these lists, and I'm not going to throw in other things for the sake of it. 1. Los Campesinos! - A Heat Rash in the Shape of the Show Me State, or, Letters from Me to Charlotte [...]

It was two and a half years ago that I first discovered Roadside Poppies, when they were release 001 on the Weepop! label. I really liked that release, particularly the title track from it, Cycling and Crying . Since that time though, I haven't heard a great deal about the band at all. If I'm honest, I'd actually forgotten all about them. This past weekend though I stumbled across their Bandcamp page, which had a new three song EP, Live at Chateau Blanc , available on it for free [...]

Yea I love Star Wars, get over it! We got a new mix for you with a handful of dope stuffs. 16 tracks from artists you MIGHT HAVE NEVER heard of randing from electronic to indie rocky. Check'em and feed your iPods. Momu - Window Girl In A Coma - Their Cell State Bird - I Don't Love You Anymore Jeff Hanson - Night Fever Marlene - When Daniel Goodings Made It Rain [...]

Roadside Poppies es uno de los grupos que graba para Wee Pop , el pequeño sello discográfico especializado en grupos de pop delicado, contando entre sus filas con bandas ya aparecidas por aquí como The Darlings , u otras que lo irán haciendo como The Just Joans o el que es su último lanzamiento hasta la fecha, Let's Whisper. Pero volviendo a los que hoy nos ocupan, diremos que es un grupo compuesto por miembros británicos y daneses, que además de grabar la primera referencia de Wee Pop, tienen un álbum de 10 temas, que se [...]

We're just about to fly back from Stockholm, but there's still time to post another pre-prepared interview for your enjoyment. There's lots to squeeze in over the next few days before the festival begins, so keep popping back! Roadside Poppies play slapdash jangly pop songs. They started as a one-man project by Matloob but blossomed into something far greater. Currently a six piece, split between the UK and Denmark, they play songs about "summer, flowers, cycling, falling in and out of love and murderous neighbours- the usual indiepop fare!" Their first official [...]

Mér varð það á í fyrrasumar að fjölga mannkyninu. Þá fæddist lítil yndisleg stúlka sem telst þá vera sjötti fjölskyldumeðlimurinn, fyrir utan kettina og hamsturinn. Skyndilega varð fallega bláa Nubiran mín (sem gekk undir heitinu Bláa Bláberið) alltof lítil og við fórum að svipast um eftir stærri bíl. Eftir nokkar umhugsun var ákveðið að splæsa í þægindi í stað sparnaðar og verslaður var risastór 7 manna Chevrolet sem fékk nafnið Rauða Rúsínan. Síðan skall á kreppa og skrjóðurinn sá er þeim galla búinn að allir mælar eru í mílum en ekki kílómetrum. Það vandast því málið að [...]

I almost forgot.... Sorry... Happy Valentine's Day!

Freebie from Secretly canadian) The Postmarks - My little Heart (a [...]
As I've said more times than you care to remember, I love bloggal archives. So the other night I was prowling around the early days' of one of my favorite blogs, Milk Milk Lemonade, and found "Lloyd Christmas," a pure little number by Oslovians, American Suitcase. I was so intrigued that a simple click took me to AS's website, where I unpacked the first two songs below. Wowser (if I might wax

I'm not usually one to get all excited about record labels, but the folks at Weepop! deserve a little love for what they are doing. Having only launched in June, they have already put out releases by Roadside Poppies , Bugs Eat Books , Little My and Desmond Reed . While this roster may seem impressive in itself, the effort they are going to for each release is lovely. Each release is on a mini [...]

Roadside Poppies started as a one man project (that man being Matloob Qureshi) and expanded into a whole band from Cambridge. A gentle, humourous, lovesong-writing tweepop band. They have recently released the Cycling and Crying EP on WeePOP! Records and, very generously, they allow you to download 'Just Another Lovesong' from it for free. But you know you want to buy the EP as well, don't you? Roadside Poppies - Just Another Lovesong mp3 (right click and save as) On the Roadside Poppies website there is a whole album's-worth of (sing-a-long-able) [...]
Ich finde es immer wieder schön, wenn es idealistische Label gibt, die sich kleinen, unbekannten Bands verschrieben haben. Jetzt gibt es ein neues - Wee Pop! Der Name lässt schon erahnen, aus welcher Ecke die hier veröffentlichte Musik stammt - Twee & C86. Und es gibt eine weitere Besonderheit - es werden nur auf 120 Exemplare limitierte 3"-CDs herausgebracht (das sind diese ganz kleinen) mit 2-3 Tracks. Die ersten beiden Veröffentlichungen sind jetzt auf dem Markt «Killers from the start» von Bugs Eat Books und «Cycling and crying» (die inoffizielle Tour de [...]

WeePOP!'s handcrafted indiepop goodness! We love cute little indiepop labels here at Skatterbrain, and the brand new WeePOP! Records is everything we like about them! They're cute, they're little, and I love them! Each of their releases are limited-run, and handrafted with loooooooove. There's a big focus on packaging and each 3" CD is packaged in a mini jewel-case inside a little brown paper bag, with a sticker on the front indicative of the release. Oh! and each released comes with a little handmade certificate of authenticity, too! They're just [...]
