I had a nightmare about college last night. It was all about being unprepared. Up until this point, I've felt okay about going to college. Most other kids don't really know anyone else, and my roommate is in the same boat as I am, not knowing me at all. In my nightmare, I was basically at Welcome Week, but I had classes on move-in day and I didn't even have a laptop yet. So I remember being bogged down with work because certain five-page research papers and other summer assignments were due on the second day of school. [...]
August 14th will see Nightmares On Wax return with their new album " Thought So" through Warp records. The Yorkshire band have changed so much over the years and although this album is no " Smokers Delight" it does show that the Nightmares have still got a fair few air miles left in them. Nightmares On Wax - Bringin It ....and while we're talking of Yorkshire Nacional - Yorkshire I'm sure you'll [...]
Summer is here and there's nothing you can do Avevo abbastanza sottovalutato l'esordio degli School , forse perché avevo assistito a una delle loro prime e incerte esibizioni dal vivo. Poi, mentre stavo cercando di mettere assieme un nastrone estivo, mi è capitato sotto mano un loro demo dell'anno scorso che conteneva il piccolo inedito Summer's Here e all'improvviso ci siamo trovati. Leggerezza da inizio vacanze appena velata da un filo di malinconica foschia, come spesso accade all'orizzonte sul mare o alle settimane [...]
O inglês OldSchoolReunion é mais um dos amigos talentosos do Let's Glow . Na semana passada, recebemos o seu primeiro release, o EP "High Five". Este EP é composto de 3 faixas de um electro pesado, há quem diga maximalista. Quem é fã de kicks pesados, sintetizadores e muita distorção, é altamente recomendado. Uma fofoquinha: A capa deste EP seria feita pelo designer do Let's Glow , mas a indecisão com o nome do EP foi tão grande, que acabou nem acontecendo a parceria. Uma pena. zShare [...]
The Low Lows - "Modern Romance" I've barely just started listening to The Low Lows and I'm already hooked. This is from their sophomore album, "Shining Violence" which reminds me of bands like My Morning Jacket and Band Of Horses. Gorgeous stuff. Pravda - "Body Addict" Fun electro rock duo from France. I highly recommend their new album "A L'Quest". Even one of the biggest loser on the planet (i.e. me) feels cool when listening to it. The School - [...]
'All I Wanna Do' is the debut single from The School . Released on FIFA Records , former home of Fight like Apes , the single has already received a lot of exposure, both here and in the UK. The School's sound is dreamy, sunshine soaked indie-pop with a naive '60s feel-good vibe. The Welsh octet incorporate many instruments like keyboards, trumpets and glockenspiel to receate their pastoral ditties. The main vocalist Liz helps create the warm fuzzy feeling (similar to falling in love or sipping a lemsip with a heavy cold [...]
Oh, Cardiff. I've discovered a number of good bands from that city, moving it up the list on possible cities to go on exchange (the list is basically a list of how many cool bands are playing said city)! This time around it's The School , whose sound I can only describe as a modern take on 60s girl groups. Without meaning any disrespect, their sound is "light and breezy", and in a perfect world the radio would be playing these tunes all through the summer. Their debut EP will be out through Elefant [...]
orkut Um dos segredos mais bem guardados (ou não tão bem assim) da terra da Rainha é uma banda que toca sixties songs como se fosse produzida pelo genial Phil Spector, numa qualidade que permeia campos já habitados por bandas como o Camera Obscura , Saturday Looks Good to Me , a indonesa Mocca , e o recente crescente do Lucky Soul . O The School toca um pop dos mais fofos e grudentinhos dessa nossa safra, e [...]
Απρίλιος 2008: Το επταμελές συγκρότημα των The School από το Cardiff της Βρετανίας κυκλοφορεί το ντεμπούτο single του στην Elefant Records σε 7ιντσο ροζ βινύλιο [!]. Στην πρώτη πλευρά του δίσκου βρίσκεται το υπέροχο all i wanna do και στο flip side [προϊστορικοί όροι] το καταπληκτικό valentine . 60s girl groups, Phil Spector, Beach Boys, Camera Obscura, Beatles, Ronettes, μερικά από τα ονόματα που θα διαβάσετε ανάμεσα στις επιρροές τους. Πιο pop και από τις Pipettes !Enjoy! [...]
If you're a fan of the Camera Obscura school of fey indie-pop, prepare to be smitten by The School , the most recent signing to Spain's always spectacular Elefant Records . The Welsh band's debut single will be released on April 14th on limited edition pink vinyl (what else?) and should win the Wales natives a slew of new fans on both sides of the Atlantic. The video for "All I Wanna Do" is equal parts Donnybrook photo shoot and Les Parapluies de Cherbourg -charming the whole way [...]

Here is a gift for the 7th day of Christmas....My first (and hopefully annual, and preferably earlier in the season) My Space Holiday Collection Vol. 1. As you may know, I have compiled several My Space tracks. Some of them may be on EPs, CDs, LPs, or online only. As far as I know, these are all online only...I don't recall seeing record names on a lot of these when I found them. You may download the tracks individually or they are zipped for your convenience, along with CD artwork in case you want to [...]
not another Christmas post? Well sort of I guess. My lengthy Christmas post has become just that – too long, so I've decided that future stuff concerning Christmas will be featured in new posts. But since we are only a few days away from Christmas trees, presents in the stockings, carols and belly aches, I have a suspicion that this will be one of the last ones (if not the last) you'll see in the blog this year! J.A. once again joins in and recommends a short and lovely [...]
