Friday and Saturday can be found here . SUNDAY Stumbling out of the Travelodge at dawn (around 10:30), it was decided that Sunday would be the day that things were really mixed up. By which I mean we went to Sainsburys for breakfast instead of Tesco. It cost a little more, and the service was a little bit slower, but it was rather more tasty, so that's a good result I think. Shambling onto the site just before the first bands on, it was time for another [...]
Once again, Indietracks was an absolute delight. The proper review (you know, the one with words and stuff) will follow tomorrow, but here are the fruits of my photographic labour: [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Video: Indietracks 2009 in 7 Minutes by LastNightFromGlasgow The Indietracks lineup seems to be pretty much complete now (though a few more bands are still to come) with Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now and Slow Club both being added to the bill. Perhaps more excitingly though, the day by day breakdowns have now been announced, giving us a festival that looks something like this: Friday [...]
Δεν ξέρω αν και πως γιορτάζετε τα Χριστούγεννα.. Δεν ξέρω αν και πως θα γιορτάσετε αυτά τα δύσκολα φετινά Χριστούγεννα.. Δεν ξέρω αν έχετε κάποια οικογενειακή Χριστουγεννιάτι κη παράδοση.. Υπάρχει όμως μια παράδοση που δυστυχώς δεν πολυτηρούμε στη χώρα μας.. τα χριστουγεννιάτι κα τραγούδια. Δεκάδες είναι τα σχετικά τραγούδια που βρήκα στο διαδίκτυο αυτές τις μέρες, ηχογραφημένα από γνωστά και μή ονόματα, και διάλεξα κάποια ενδεικτικά. Ένα mix ιδανικό για το πρωινό πριν το Χριστουγεννιάτι κο τραπέζι, ή το απόγευμα πριν τη βραδυνή έξοδο.. Το τζάκι προαιρετικό.. 1. Saint Etienne & Tim Burgess [...]

The Specific Heats "Are You For Real, Meghan O'Neill?" - I have never dated a musician, but I reckon that hearing the words "I wrote this song about you" from a significant other must be one of the more nerve-wracking musical experiences that a person could have. The odds that the song will be awful are very, very high, and even if the song is good, what if the lyrics about you are just totally creepy or steeped in unrealistic expectations or maddeningly vague or sort of inaccurate, as if they just don't know you at [...]
I've meant to post on the new Specific Heats' album for a while now but never got around to it for some reason. Well, today I am gonna make up for it, at least in a small way, by giving you a track off of Aboard A Spaceship Of The Imagination . This has to be my favorite album title of the year hands down. I last talked about the band here and Matt from Skatterbrain posted on them here and more recently here . The album itself is [...]
Mat and Jen of The Specific Heats (Keira not pictured) You may remember a post I did on The Specific Heats quite a while ago before the new record came out. Well, the new record Aboard A Spaceship Of The Imagination has been out for over a month now and I guess I feel like talking about it again. Originally from Boston, but now relocated to Brooklyn, The Specific Heats make fun pop music
Okay, so I'm aware that Summer's beginning to wind down, but I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet. I've created a mix, using the most special of ingredients, known to be very powerful against the threat of fall and it's plans to overtake Summer. Join me in listening to this mix all day long and riding Summer out as long as we can! P.S. It's not all twee, but most of it is, so whatever. You can download the big boy .ZIP file, or if you're into having yourself a buffet, you can download all songs seperately [...]
