I have a crush on the violinist with Slum Of Legs, pt 3 | Slum Of Legs

I’m gone.  Solid.  Stuck here, thinking.  Stuck here, thinking that Tamsin can articulate loneliness and hope and the thrill of the dance floor much better than I ever could.  Stuck here, entertained thoroughly by all the shenanigans going on on stage.  Stuck like glue.  Stuck here.  Of course it is sadder not to dance at […]

I have a crush on the violinist with Slum Of Legs, pt 2 | The Glug

I swear, it started like this. Only not so much so. I swear it.  I was not dreaming.  I was idly watching the lady on the merch table smiling, engaging – and this gang of MEN wander on stage, dressed in orange, with an Orange amp.  Six or seven of them there were, and a clown […]

One review says Gareth Liddiard, “tells it like it is.” But […]

A response to ‘For Whatever Reason’  | A photograph of Plan B and Careless Talk Costs Lives magazines from 2001-2009

My Facebook feed has been full of commentary following my repost of Annie Gardiner’s excellent ‘For Whatever Reason…’ (Access) (an installation of copies of NME magazine from 1989-2008). My response is above (the piles lying: male-female-both). This, I feel is WAY more representative of music being made during the 2000s than that piles of NMEs. But who […]

This reminds me of Steve Gullick – and that will never make me unhappy.

Song of the day – 587: CocoRosie

This is the one I find most beguiling and strange and sad and simultaneously seductive.

Song of the day – 565: Misty’s Big Adventure

A surprisingly insightful Everett True interview from 2009

It is worth bearing in mind that writing – like any art performed in the public arena – is part-performance, so it’s worth having a persona that you can slip in and out of.
