My Q&A With The Pajama Men
This is taken from an interview I did for this week’s Beat Magazine. If slightly insane sketch comedy is your bag then checking out The Pajama Men this Comedy Festival is your ticket to LOLtown. New Mexico’s favourite Barry award winning absurdist comedy duo met during High School and have been performing together under the […]
St Vincent the Magnificent/AKA the Worst Blog Title Ever
I saw St Vincent last night at the Hi Fi and I would just like to state for the record that she is amazing – just one of those really mesmerising, charismatic frontwomen. Well, frontperson in general. Myself and a friend of mine were debriefing afterwards and we realised we kept comparing her to other […]
Oppenheimer Analysis – Devil’s Dancer
This song does things to me. Oppenheimer Analysis are a duo who formed in London in 1982. Doesn’t seem like they were particularly prolific, but they had a cassette release (LOL) in the early 80’s that you could get at shows. This track ‘Devil’s Dancer’ was re-released on Veronica Vasicka’s label Minimal Wave record label […]

What’s Up with Dreamy DIY Music Videos These Days?
I caught the much hyped Lana Del Rey video the other day for ‘Video Games’. I got sucked in after seeing the third or so person tweet about how amazing the track was and how they’d watched it a billion times. It is indeed enchanting: combination of a beautiful song, eerily atmospheric music video and […]
Four Tet, Caribou, James Holden, Nathan Fake and Rocketnumbernine at the Coronet Theatre: November 19th, 2010
Back in November my friend Fay asked if I’d like to come and do interviews for a video project she was producing at the Coronet Theatre for Four Tet and promoter Tom Baker’s Eat Your Own Ears. It was kind of a reunion show for a gig that Kieran (Four Tet) and EYOE had put […]
VIDEO: Oxford, Blessing Force, Neon Pulse and Chad Valley…featuring moi!
A few months back I headed down (up? sideways?) to Oxford, a town you probably know from the mega famous University that lives there. There’s also a buttload of music coming out of Oxford these days. My friend Alex (Neon Pulse) played at a very cool warehouse party in February and invited me down. The […]
