Apr 25 2006 Being 747 - Health & Safety
Being 747 comprises ex-Landspeed Loungers frontman Dave Cooke (who can often be seen wearing an aeroplane on his head to justify his band’s name) and current Scarmanga Six members Paul and Steven Morricone. Together they make music similar to Belle & Sebastian but with more edge. Okay, my shoes have more edge than Belle & […]
Apr 23 2006 The Beauty Shop - Monster
It’s always nice to hear something a little bit friendlier when you’ve been drowning in a sea of, erm…less friendly stuff.
The Beauty Shop, a trio from Illinois, make raw and gentle slightly anti-folk songs. Listening to Monster is so easy, it just flows through your ears and doesn’t get annoying.
With beautiful acoustic guitar to […]

Apr 11 2006 A-ha - Cosy Prisons
Wahey! It’s ageing popstars A-ha. Cosy Prisons is the follow up single to All I Want from their popular-with-your-mum album Analogue. It’s a definite turn around from the wailing, thrashing, poke you with a big stick monster of a song All I Want. They used that to lure you back…saying ‘Ooh, look at us, we […]
Apr 3 2006 Belle & Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue
The follow up to Funny Little Frog, and the second release from The Life Pursuit, The Blues Are Still Blue is a 60’s rock influenced treat. It’s not s miserable blues song, it’s about mixing your colours in the launderette… sort of.
This song is quirky, lively and completely addictive. Right down to the little squeaky […]
Apr 3 2006 Adam Kesher - Where’s My Place
Adam Kesher is a funk-punk-electro duo consisting of two French brothers. With named influences such as Joy Division and Gang of Four, they can only be expected to be pretty cool.
There’s definitely something not to be missed in Where’s My Place, a song which is easily comparable to the likes of Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, […]
