Here you are then. This weeks playlist features some pretty hot shit if I do say so myself with tracks from new albums by The Others, The Apples In Stereo, Dustins Bar Mitzvah and Hunting Lodge as well as some bloody good singles. Don't forget though, the whole point of Burning World is to bring to you good music which you may not otherwise hear and if you like it buy it. Burning World - Playlist 2 1. The Others - Thick As Thieves (Lime) [...]
Right then, for those of you wondering where the podcasts have gone....do not fear they will hopefully return next month. I'm in the process of putting together a new studio and as usual things are going far from to plan. In the meantime I'm to put together a Burning World playlist on a roughly weekly basis. As you can probably tell from the track listing below it contains some pretty hot stuff from some of the best new and forthcoming releases I've heard this week. I've zipped the file as individual tracks. If you would prefer one long file then [...]
I knew it would be worth the trip. It's just a shame that a few more people didn't. I'm talking about the brilliant Maps gig which I was fortunate enough to witness at Fibbers in York last Friday. I always find it quite embarassing when a band has to play in front of an extremely dissapointing crowd. It's safe to say however that the sparce audience did not reflect the sounds produced on stage. Maps were simply sublime. Fed on a diet of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Spiritulized etc. Maps mainman James certainly knows how to create a sound [...]
2006 has thus far been of quite a vintage as far as music is concerned. Things just seem to be getting better and better, rarely does a week pass without a record which changes my life in some way. Usually it's a record by some exiting new band which takes me completely by suprise but now and again an old favorite returns and delivers the goods. That was the case this week when some kind soul sent me a copy of the new Herman Dune album. My fingers tingled with exitement as I inserted the magical silver disc into the [...]
London anarcho-punks Xerox Teens are hitting the road in November and you would be well advised to try and catch up with them. I wouldn't get too close though because you never know if they might be carrying some kind of lethal object. I mean with names like Danny Fancy, Dirt Dog Cash, Pinstripe, Uber and Nuvo you have to start asking questions. Seriously though Xerox Teens are one of the most exiting bands around. Their blatant disregard for anything which has gone before is admirable. They really couldn't give a shit and that's why you simply have to make [...]
If it's pure lovelyness your after then you can't go far wrong with One Second Bridge. It's basically a collaboration between Vicente GarcÃa Landa, originally from Mexico City and Matias Bieniaszewski, originally from Buenos Aires. They met apparently through a record shop owning older brother and boy am I glad they did. One Second Bridge glide along effortlessly taking in beautiful gliding guitars, minimal electronics and some bloody good songs. I know some people are going to call them shoegazers but I'll tell you now there's a lot more to them than that. Let them into your life. [...]
I've never been keen on bands re-forming and making comebacks. It usually results in a damp squib of a gig, a sub standard record and a previously legendary reputation in reduced to tatters. Imagine then my dismay at finding a new album by the legendary Nightingales landing on my doorstep. The Nightingales released their first single "Idiot Strength" back in 1981 and followed it in 1982 with their debut album "Pigs On Purpose" through Cherry Red Records. Although I was too young to enjoy it at the time (eight years old) I did get a copy a few [...]
....and it's another direct hit for Glasgow. There must be something in the air up there, something which makes it almost impossible for anyone who forms a band to be crap. I'm only jealous of course, I mean... what has York done for the music world of late? Anyway the band I'm talking about are a bunch of Glaswegans called The Dykeenies. Having the honour of being the first band to sign to the King Tut's record label they have presented the world with one hell of a debut single. If you can find a copy of "New Ideas/Will It [...]
This was the first record from Liverpool's Boo Radleys. The reason for this post is that people keep asking me on almost a weekly basis if I have a copy of Ichabod & I and I dont think it will do much harm to post the whole thing now since there were only ever 500 copies pressed and as far as I know it has never been re-issued. It's a shame really because this is a brilliant record. Enjoy. The Boo Radleys - Ichbod & I 1. Elenor Everything 2. Bodenheim Jr [...]
It seems like a very long time since I did a record box so here goes. The Holloways - Dancefloor From the album "So This Is Great Britain" to be released on 30th October The Early Years - Things From the self titled debut album. Little Man Tate - European Love From the debut album "Man I Hate Your Band" to be released 30th [...]
It must be great to live in Sheffield these days at the hub of a seemingly endless production line of new interesting bands. I'm not talking about the ones which appeal to the mass media and make stacks of dosh, I'm talking about the plethora of exellent unsigned talent which circles around this great northern city. One of the best bands I've heard for some time celebrate under the rather brilliant moniker Fury Of The Headteachers. They have a sound which I'm sure Sonic youth would kill for. Loud pounding basslines, distorted guitars and a singer who wouldn't look out [...]
The Boyfriends are a four piece from London. Their debut single "I Love You" was released back in February and I'm asahmed to admit that I missed it at the time, an error for which I punish myself by beating my thumb with a large hammer on a daily basis. Their second single "Adult Acne" however did not slip though the net and was played on Burning World #7. I don't think it will be too long
Soooo, it's been a while, but it's good to be back. I made the mistake of going drinking with Mr Waaah, Man, that motherfucker is crazy! I'm not going to go into detail, but I was left in no doubt that this cat needs a straight jacket!! Great night man. So down to business. Just what has been cluttering up my ears this week? I'll tell you. First off the bat was Jerry Ropero & Denis The Menace, with Coracao . Three decent remixes, with my favourite being the Axwell remix . Big bouncy base baby yeah, reminded [...]
Yeah I know it's been a while but number 17 is finally here. I think it was worth the wait though with stuff from the brilliant new albums by Larrikin Love and Milburn, two records which should be somewhere near the top of your shopping list. I also decided to throw in an old classic from the band who celebrate under the moniker of Cud. The main reason for that (apart from it being a great tune is that the band will be playing what they say will almost certainly be their last ever gig at The Irish Centre in [...]
Larrikin Love will release their long awaited debut album on 25th September. "The Freedom Spark" will follow the new single "Happy As Annie" which will hit the shops on 11th September. The band are currently on tour in the UK... well actually they're having a few nights off because Micko has gone and knackered his shoulder by falling over whilst paddling in a shallow stream at the Secret Garden festival thus forcing the band to cancel their gigs in Swindon (1st September) and Swindon (2nd September), but they expect him to be fit enought to see out the rest of [...]
Artist: Sebastian Leger (Feat Gia Melish). Hypnotized When I first heard this, I was like, daaaaaamn baby. I thought I’d gone back in time to nineteen eighty six. This is not a bad thing so don’t get me wrong. A cool effort with some splendid “baywatchesque†drum sampling, don’t even get me started on it. Seriously don’t. A thumbs up from me, for this catchy little number. ( Some good mixes too.) Sebastian Leger (Feat Gia Melish) - Hypnotized (Radio [...]

I knew this was gonna be a good one. It's always a good sign when you put a record on and the cat runs for cover. With a name like The Victorian English Gentlemens Club you're never quite sure what your going to get but this album is anything but gentlemenly. You know the sort of thing. Noisy jerky guitars, pumping basslines and a singer who sounds as though he could scare the shit out of Mark E. Smith. This is the debut album by the Cardiff three piece and follows up their previous two singles brilliantly fulfilling the promise [...]
