Britain-based indie rock vets Cornershop were never really a band noted for their political activism, but on the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Tibet by the People's Liberation Army, Tjinder Singh and company have made a stand in the cause for justice and freedom in the Asian region. To help the cause, the band has partnered with Free Tibet to create a video for "Don't Shake It (Let It Free)," the closing track and latest single from 20112s Cornershop and the Double-O Groove Of , which enlisted the help of Punjabi newcomer [...]
Italian sound stacker Casa del Mirto made an effort to remix "Non Stop Radio" by London's Cornershop and Celeste. I must say he managed to do it very well. The video was also edited by its original creators Rocket Science. The remix is a part of " The Italian Job Remixes " with works by Casa del Mirto himself, Lorenzo Marinelli and Lorenzo Venturini. As Cornershop describes it, "it's for those of you who would like to end the night next to a pool and parma trees." More Casa del Mirto? Check [...]
While Cornershop 's monthly Singles Club is still going strong (head here to get the latest single or anything you've missed), today the UK indie-rock outfit premieres the video for Casa Del Mirto's remix of their single "Non-Stop Radio". Along with the track getting a new interpretation, the production company behind the original video , Rocket Science, also remixed the visuals. The end result is more of the same wacky, wonderful collection of moving pictures, a blast of neon-colored psychedelic freakiness to make the rest of the week pass by in a shiny [...]

Indo-British rockers Cornershop have been busy touring, collaborating with new talent and reinventing their sound in general. Last month, we reviewed the first of their Singhles Club releases ( buy here ), the Royksopp-esque 'Non-Stop Radio' .

We played a select amount of gigs, but as we sound so different to other groups, especially the groups, we are afforded even more appreciation, so were very [...]

Held at Cheltenham racecourse amidst the beautiful English countryside, their is something quintessentially British about the whole weekend. Whether it's the two red double decker buses which serve Pimm's and tea or the complaints about the ever-changing weather, it's definitely one for us Brits. Despite there being two bigger stages at Wychwood, a lot of [...]
The dark treatment of the "My Name Is Trouble" is countered with this all-white video for the second single from Keren Ann's album 101 . "Sugar Mama" is one of the stronger tracks on the disc. Although we would have opted for "All The Beautiful Girls," we are keeping our hopes high for a third single release.

These are my 100 favourite songs of 2011: songs I love more than plums & peaches & lesser harvests of almonds. I follow just one arbitrary rule: that no artist may be listed twice. I made similar lists in 2005 , 2006 , 2007 , 2008 , 2009 and 2010 . The best way to browse this list is to click the little arrow beside each song and then to listen as you read. The things you like [...]
