Brakes offer free living room gig to whoever has it
Nov 6 2006 Brakes - The Beatific Visions
For their second album Brighton’s Brakes seconded to Nashville and let the rich history of country music flow through them. Though the sound is largely a mix of The Pixies, The dead Kennedys and The Clash, the country influence is apparent across the eleven tracks and a few country songs do make it into the […]
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 […]
Mar 16 2006 Brakes - All Night Disco Party Remixes

Jan 7 2006 Belle & Sebastian - Funny Little Frog
Belle & Sebastian write twee pop music and come from Scotland. You probably already know this. They are a band people either love in an obsessive and slightly scary way or are completely indifferent to. I fall into the latter category - if some of their music comes on I don’t mind. If it isn’t […]
Nov 14 2005 Babyshambles - Down In Albion
The much anticipated album from Babyshambles, given a mighty boost in the world’s general awareness by Pete Doherty’s drug problems, relationship problems, etc. I was listening about him before I decided to check out his music and I got a shock. The shock was the kind you’d get if Tom Jones started singing reggae, or […]
