I make up less than a quarter(originally uploaded by grange85) So Everything’s Swirling gets a long overdue overhaul – and a new URL (feel free to update your bookmarks, blogrolls and RSS feeds – although the old ones will probably keep working) Hazel’s blog Let’s Fold Scarves has also had a refit and is whipping [...]
P1020715 (originally uploaded by mountmccabe) I must admit that It bothered me when I read on Damon & Naomi’s website that… Naomi has been dressed for this tour by designer Gary Graham. You’ll have to follow the band to see all the outfits …because…well…nothing really looks cooler than jeans and a T-shirt so why bother [...]
I often wake up with music in my head and no real understanding how it got there, more often than not it’ll be Bohemian Rhapsody or the theme from Terry and June. Today it was The Doors. I haven’t listened to The Doors for many MANY years. Part of stretching my musical awareness beyond what [...]
Naomi-5.jpg(originally uploaded by kirstiecat) Kirstiecat has a a short review and a lovely set of photos of Damon & Naomi’s recent show in Chicago… I’m looking forward to the end of November when they reach London although I’m a bit sad that they only seem to be doing a support slot in a mid-sized venue [...]
(originally uploaded by the_moog) Between acts at the Albert Hall last week I started looking around the venue thinking of all the different places I’d sat and I suddenly realised that I’d been to quite a few shows so here’s a top 6 (but aside from the first one they’re not really in any order)… [...]
[Jennifer] Pariser [Sony BMG's head of litigation]…then made perhaps the most startling comment of the day. Saying that the record labels have spent “millions” on the lawsuits, she then said that “we’ve lost money on this program.” RIAA anti-P2P campaign a real money pit, according to testimony (via BoingBoing)
Joanna Newsom(originally uploaded by KezOnTour) She was wearing daintier little strappy heels at the Albert Hall but I couldn’t find any decent pics, and she does seem to wear these great clodhoppers more often (as can be seen a little clearer in this rather odd picture).
I have very vivid memories of standing in Beggars Banquet in Kingston and NOT BUYING the first Radiohead EP Drill because they were on a major label – and I was very suspicious of major labels even back then (1992) and doubly suspicious of a band with no (recording) history turning up on a major. [...]
(originally uploaded by Schrollum) Recently I’ve found it hard to enjoy music in big sit down venues so despite the long wait (I’ve had the tickets for six months!) I was a little apprehensive about seeing Joanna Newsom at the Royal Albert Hall. Ys may be the best album I own and that’s the first [...]
The very very lovely Blanket finally have a real album out. Blankit is out now on Try Harder and can be bought from there or directly from the band As much as I’ve loved all the downloads and the lovingly crafted CDRs I’m quite looking forward to having something "real" to love and cherish… Previous [...]
