"Yubiwa" is the Japanese DIY-recording scene's equivalent of The Avengers , a long-awaited meeting of some of the most popular bedroom-based projects in the country today. This song brings together the shadowy Jesse Ruins (signed to Captured Tracks), swirling-pop maker Sapphire Slows (Not Not Fun) and the hazy rock of Hotel Mexico (Double Denim). Despite having connections with Western labels, "Yubiwa"arrives as a limited-run cassette and digital download, with all profits going towards victims of last year's Tohoku earthquake. Each contributin g artist manages to standout sonically over "Yubiwa's" nearly six-minute playtime, but no single one dominates the song, with [...]

Sapphire Slows : Animal Dreams - Video
Heading into the FunFunFun weekend, I figured I might give you some stuff to chill to when you make it back to the house to decompress. What better than an installment of tracks from the IT Department? I do a featured FFF6 artist in this edition, so I am "relevant" and "thoughtful". Heh. Tycho melts your face, Small Black continues to mellow, Simian Ghost blurs influences, Sapphire Slows is and Grimes is the fun feature. [...]
I'm on a roll tonight and my inbox is treating me well, serving me up delicious tune after delicious tune. Here's a new track from Estonia's Maria Minerva from her Sacred & Profane EP due out on November 15 on 100% Silk . And here's an also awesome track from fellow 100% Silk labelmates Sapphire Slows in the form of "Spin Lights Over You". You can find this track on their True Breath EP due out on November 8. I really, really, really like both of these songs. Have a pleasantread [...]
At a time of great output by our beloved up and coming indie artists and groups, the lamestream corporate music media is on an agenda of pushing the same old faces in the same way that Rolling Stone keeps questionable rock legends in print. Normally I can duck away from most Chris Martin press blast blitzkriegs, but Coldplay was everywhere this week on account of some new album, then there was Beyoncé's seductive but forgetable "Party" with J. Cole, while the Black Keys comp...

As some of you may know, 20JFG's recently recruited belligerent Sci- Fi dinosaur - Preston G. Parallax - is also something of an armchair academic. Allegedly, he was one of the pioneering forces behind the emerging field of Psuedo-musicology - holding an MAPhil in the subject from the Open University. Lauded by the forces of regular Musicology as a 'piss take', Preston maintains that Psuedo-musicology offers a much deeper and clearer insight into the function, and history of popular music - because it is 'unbound by anything that actually happened'. Let's take a look at an extract from one of his most radical [...]
