HELLO -> This marks the first entry in a long time because etc etc personal details etc but I think I've adjusted now and I have some time to write. It was a good summer and I think it's gonna be a good year. There's been so much good music around, I hope you caught as much of it as I have. I'll do a run down of the best albums from the past few weeks in a minute. Lots of gigs coming up which I'm excited about seeing as the last live music I saw was reading and that [...]
The Italian GP on Sunday was a killer race and saw the emergence of young Sebastian Vettel (pictured above) as a racing superstar. While Vettel became the youngest ever Formula 1 race winner, the fight for the drivers championship was reduced to just one lonesome point (the same difference by which Kimi Raikkonen won the 2007 season). The video edit of the Italian GP features the song 'Steve McQueen' from The Automatic's new album This Is A Fix. It fits the race perfectly, with a line for Sebastian Bourdais (F1's unluckiest driver) as well [...]
FESTIVAL: Reading, Day 2 words: Jamie Milton top photo credit - Holly Erskire Frid ay was full of spectacular sets and a few disappointments, the general feeling I had once heading back to the camp site was that I'd missed out on a few highlights in sacrifice of a couple of dreadfully average performances. I made it my very aim there and then to make sure the same didn't happen on Saturday and to go with my instinct. Saturday was [...]
The full moon will be out this weekend, so be on the lookout for werewolves and, here in Georgia, Bigfoot apparently . I contemplated doing a Bigfoot themed mixtape this week (allmusic.com has 171 songs with "bigfoot" in the title alone), but tracks like Bigfoot Eat Bananna , Boppin' With Bigfoot , and Bigfoot By The Ocean just weren't really in line with the Friday Mixtape. So, while Bigfoot Goes to Heaven and Lullaby [...]
Blue Mary Jane - "Everyone's In Love Fuck Em" A fun little punk tune I stumbled upon yesterday and haven't been able to stop listening to since. The band was apparently born in a barn (hence the name of their album) and consists of three English blokes. If you like this one then I suggest you take a trip to their MySpace and check out the other songs they're offering for free. Lykke Li - "Hanging High" I hadn't planned to feature Lykke Li in this [...]

S o I've had an epiphany of sorts. Well not really an epiphany, but I realised tonight that I'd lost sight of why I started up this blog in the first place. I wanted to let people know about good music, and just talk about what I love. So tonight I've picked a load of songs I love right now and uploaded them. Grab them quickly because I doubt they'll last! But here's a bunch of stuff that I love; that I want you to love too. I hope tonight finds you well, I hope you're with the [...]
The Automatic - Responsible Citizen "I'm going out of my way to go out of my mind" I had Automatic's debut cd--bought it for Monster , like I'm sure everyone else did. I saw them live two times when I was in England. Yet, I pretty much forgot all about them when the year was over (as did everyone else). Well, they've got a new sound and a new album coming out, and [...]

You never send me those lovely letters any more That time you dreamt of dreaming of being taken up by the birds surfing over the capricious spirals of a wind drawn with delicate lines rising to face gaping clouds dissolving into faces telling you of things you ought not to forget, ...

Sorry this post is a couple days late, but hopefully there's enough here to make up for it. It's about a diverse a post as I've had, with the only theme being artists who are playing Bonnaroo 2008. It's a great line-up so far, with more to be added, so check it out at bonnaroo.com . First up we'll do covers of Roo artists. Patricia O'Callaghan – Better Man (Pearl Jam) Having an opera-trained soprano doing a grunge song is a shakey proposition, but it works pretty [...]
The Pennie-less punks are back. Read my review of The Automatic in NYC here. MP3: The Automatic - Gold Digger (Kanye West Cover) [ alt link ]
I love Halloween. Everybody wears ridiculous costumes all the time starting weeks in advance, horror movies run on cable TV at all hours of the day, and everywhere you turn someone is giving you candy. Plus costume parties are the most fun thing a person can go to besides maybe a TTC concert (or in Greg's case, an Uffie concert). I'm being Uffie for Halloween. Nobody is going to get it. Oh well. Anyway, so... today we've got some pretty sweet remixes for you, the first of which is the most notable. It's the Remix Artist Collective of [...]
