I bought this tape in the Dalston Oxfam shop some time ago. It was a free compilation tape which came with the May 1996 issue of Select Magazine . It's unique because it has a slightly electro rock version of a Moby track that he did for this compilation only - so you can't find it anywhere else. And it's quite good. There is also a track from Cable which was recorded with John Peel which is only on this tape as well. Unfortunately the sound quality is not [...]

The very warm and bright studio sound puts an oil lamp glow over Trashcan Sinatras ' single People , the third single off of their 2009 album In The Music . A melancholy synth-glum Echo and the Bunnyman-influenced verse is followed by a major key love song response with a rich vocal harmony for the chorus refrain "People, people will fall in love". It's the sort of chorus where people join hands and sway. There's a heart-warming understatedness to the single, which makes it easy to listen to but at the [...]

Trash Can Sinatras, "Charlie's Atlas"

Six Of The Best is a semi-regular feature that pokes, prods and persuades your favourite bands, bards and barometers of hip opinion to tell us six of the best tracks they've ever heard. The tracks could be mainstream million-sellers or they could be obfuscatingly obscure, it doesn't matter. The only criteria set is that, aye, they must be Six of the Best . Think of it like a mini, groovier version of Desert Island Discs… Number 4 [...]

[Just in time for the beginning of baseball season — and the arrival of the Baseball Project — your humble blogger returns from some time in a distant land, away from the noise. That one mixtape I made for driving through the Midwest was pretty killer, though ...] Already, my most difficult show-going decision of spring: ► Scottish songsmiths Trashcan Sinatras gave a memorable performance last summer (the photo is from a June show at the Key Club) [...]
Trashcan Sinatras can lay claim to the pretty, jangling Scottish pop of the early '80s, a sound forged by Orange Juice and Aztec Camera. Frank Reader's doleful voice earned the group deserved com... Continue reading "Catch Trashcan Sinatras at Knuckleheads on Sunday night" >

Seamus Murphy Throughout her career, Polly Jean Harvey has managed the difficult feat of being artistically chameleon-like from one to the next, each often stylistically miles removed from that which came before it, while remaining consistently interesting and by and large excellent throughout. Her last effort, 20072s fragile piano-led White Chalk , certainly didn't hint at what Let England Shake - out next week - has to offer. Just posted to stream in its entirety at NPR , it's a strange [...]

Good evening children. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. White Horses was a late 60s/early 70s TV show that readers here of a certain vintage will remember. I don't, but I am more than familiar with the show's theme tune, thanks in no small part to the Trashcan Sinatras and the lost art of the b-side. The original, sung by Jacky (real name Jackie Lee) is a light 'n breezy affair, all mellow parping brass, plucked strings and perfectly e-nun-ci-ated [...]
