A few weeks ago we introduced you to the quite wonderful indie pop of Oxford's Candy Says ; and the song has barely been out of our head since. B-Side Melt Into The Sun was an infectious ode to falling for someone new, but it was lead-track Favourite Flavour that stole the show. Sugar-sweet vocals, Psychocandy -era percussion and a whole heap of yearning; all served up with a big, juicy slice of cool. The band have now released a video for said track and we've fallen for them all over again. We [...]
It turns out that ' lo-fi chic pop ' sounds exactly as you imagine it to. Sugar-sweet vocals, Psychocandy -era percussion and a whole heap of yearning, served with a big, juicy slice of cool. Candy Says are a four-piece from Oxford, and they do lo-fi chic pop splendidly. New cut Favourite Flavour is a hazy hop, skip and jump through classic indie-pop and we fully expect them to all be effortlessly handsome and devilishly well-dressed too. There's far more about them than that, however. Both tracks on their new Cool For Cats- released [...]
FUN FACT / DID YOU KNOW : Sacha is the sound digger behind www.gimmemoresound.fr LINER NOTES : Track One / Love : Un son chill a écouter dans n'importe quelle situation, mais qui paraît plus adéquat pour la situation présente.

Ok, so here it is. my favourite 10 tracks of 2012. I think I'll let the music do the talking instead of me crapping on about how each track made my year. All I will say though is the criteria I had for this list It had to be a track I kept on coming [...]
ok. So, here it is. My top albums of 2012. It's been a nutty year, full of some really incredible albums. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it was impossible to listen to everything, but, I did try. Continuing on with the whole Australian music blog theme this blog has taken on over the [...]

A Charlie Brown Christmas!!! Can't get better from the classics department! #4 Fuck Christmas - Eric Idle Okay, so rude as it can possibly be. Bypass it if it offends your delicate sensibilities!

Heritage Centre - Oldest Friend 4. Sarah Red - Misdirected Fire [...]
Editor's note (Allan): This post was completed in 2010 and was kept private out of error. 2009 was kind of a shit year in terms of my ability to catch up with current music. It was a year of listening to old favourites, staring blankly at iTunes expecting something to change---now I don't know what is to blame; my inability to keep up at the lightning speed changes of this ridiculously technologically inclined era of music bloggers, or the ongoing power struggle for download bandwidth that was ultimately won by porn over music, or the fact [...]
We want to know! Take Our Poll Thanks for taking this poll. x Alicia Atout
We quite often deviate away from strictly talking to bands, and catch up with some other indsutry-related folks. Today it's the turn of Jamie Halliday , the man behind Audio Antihero Records , a small DIY label that has put out the likes of Nosferatu D2, Benjamin Shaw and Jack Hayter . He took time out from writing his new blog to talk us through his Favourite Five.. . Favourite album of all time [...]

CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO After putting out the original "Year Of The Underdog" last year, I kept on getting positive feedback from various people telling me how much they loved the story and how the track was produced. For the original, I dropped a 32 bar verse with a 8 bar hook and as good as I think the finished product was, I always knew I could get more life out of the song. It was then that I decided to do an official remix... [...]

As with my favourite album posts for 2007 , 2008 , and 2009 as well as my favourite songs of 2010 (a year which I couldn't even concentrate on whole albums) have pointed out, my favourite albums over recent years have either been by established favourites of mine, or else new artists I've gravitated towards have been a select few. I've missed out on many an album released in 2011 out of the sheer exhaustion in seeking out new music but there have been a few artists that had piqued my interest that I'm [...]
End of the year. Wuu. Great time. People copying and pasting inspirational quotes all over the place. So that's deep and profound. Also a wonderful time of year for people feeling an immense desire to give you their Best of ... Continue reading
The title says almost everything that needs to be said really, so we’ll avoid a few minutes of pseudo-philosophising about the whole “end-of-year” obsession (bottom line – we love them), as these are simply my favourite songs from 2011, and therefore they are all right. But please feel free to argue in the comments, it wouldn’t be an end of year list without some of that. Fortunately, each song really does speak for itself, which is convenient because I don’t have a spare day to write about each one of these magnificent musical beasts, to be absolutely honest. So hit [...]
