Oh, found my suffer strider tiger lifting my hay, truth’s like you say Drown me now in down of fire get me to black" So many quality releases have come thus far this year and yet there are so many more to come. One example of the latter is the forthcoming new record British indie stalwarts [...]
![[Introducing] – Aerials Up](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3184643_lg.jpg)
Go on Scotland, go do your thing (I know Frank is all about the homeland); as he should be, especially with good music coming out of it like Aerials Up. Aerials Up is an outfit from Glasgow, making some serious noise this past year. This is a good one, a seven piecer with a wide range of instruments coming together to make melodically intricate but with a simply beautiful sound. With a few notches in their musical belt, they've been associated and played with huge names like Snow Patrol, The Futureheads , Doves , Ash, and Paulo Nutini [...]
I'll keep today's post brief, because I don't actually have much information to give on The Son(s). News of their new single hit my inbox earlier this week and despite my attempts I can't find much about the band. What I do know is that they've been around for a while. They started with three members but are now down to one. They're from Scotland, like so many bands I love. And they have a new single coming out on January 17th, which would be this Monday. Word on the street is that it's the precursor to a full-length slated [...]
This is Doves live at the Axis Nightclub; Boston, MA, USA, back on the 28th June 2001. The concert was recorded for radio broadcast by Bostons WBCN. Doves are an English alternative rock band, originating from Wilmslow (near Manchester). The band comprises brothers Jez Williams (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (bass, vocals, guitar). The members started working seriously together after meeting at The Haçienda in Manchester. Doves' unofficial fourth member is Martin Rebelski, who plays keyboards. To date, the band has released four critically acclaimed and [...]
Steve Brooks has been tearing it up this year, not only through Torche's great new record, Songs for Singles, and better-than-ever live show, but also by bringing back his pre-Torche band Floor. If you managed to catch any of the spectacular Floor shows (especially the Chicago one!), you already know that Floor just fucking brought it. If not, the folks over at Chunklet have something to
ED NOTE: Re-posting an old one, back from 2009. In my run up to 2010's incredible year of music, I dig up an earlier post of superlative 2009 tracks. What's that you say? Lame and campy? Bastardization of the perfect novel? Most definitely. Anna Karenina, music from 2009 Commentary on how I made this mix, Part 1 (if you scroll to the [...]
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]

In the winter of 1977 the film magazine Cinefantastique dedicated an entire issue to a largely forgotten 1973 movie The Wicker Man, calling it 'the Citizen Kane of horror movies'. With hindsight, this can be seen as the moment that the fortunes of The Wicker Man began to change and a film that was poorly [...]

When I was first discovering the joys of hip hop back in the early 90's, I looked up to many of the artists that I listened too. This was partly because, in all my teenage wisdom, I believed them to be wise old men (most kids think anyone who is over five years older than them is ancient, after all). There were a bunch of artists in my age bracket during my hip hop infancy of course, but I never really had that much time for them. Call it ageism. Call it jealousy. Whatever it was, most of [...]
![[Listen] – #MusicMonday – 20 Songs Of The Week – August 30th](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2786938_lg.jpg)
If you're unaware of what Music Monday is, it's a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too. Using the hashtag (#) followed by "MusicMonday" you can easily find new music posted by the thousands of people making recommendations each week. Every #MusicMonday I upload a playlist of 20 songs that I've been listening to (new and old) over the past week [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , UK Doves played their last live show "for quite some time" at V Festival on Sunday night, Aug. 22 -- but their swansong was marred when frontman Jimi Goodwin threatened to beat up crowd members who upset him. The Manchester outfit announced earlier this year that they were taking "at least" two years off after tiring of the record-tour-record-tour cycle. But the set in Chelmsford [...]

I was going through my blog archives the other day and wanted to see the official date that I started my blog. Sure enough it was July 30th, 2008, which means we are now officially 2 years young. Woah, where the hell did the last two years go? It seems like it was only yesterday that I got the sudden urge to really start my own blog after some outside motivation from various people. It was partly a way for me to put all of my musical obsessions out there for my friends to see, but deep down [...]
Whiskey pong was a bad choice. Sometimes, something sounds like a great idea at the time, like whiskey pong (especially after being already drunk from the flowing keg of cider), only to find out later* that it was in fact a BAD IDEA. But by the same token something may sound like an awful idea, [...]
Scottish people have a very tuned-in bullshit radar and it came in particularly handy when I went along to the media launch of MILLER FILTERED MUSIC , the latest gig-related venture from the American beer company. The previous one, you may remember, was called The Mill and it gave fans free entry to watch over 200 local acts play in Glasgow and Edinburgh from August 2008 to March 2010. The new project will see three established bands do one-off shows at Glasgow's Oran Mor in [...]
