Having just finished a very VERY English Summer and no sign of us getting treated to an Indian one (although it’s still early and we can still hope) – here are a bunch of folk singing Beat Happening’s Indian Summer… starting, obviosuly, with… Beat Happening – Indian Summer Luna – Indian Summer Captain America – [...]
Had never heard of The Pleasure Seekers until about 10 mins ago when @randomrecs blipped/tweeted this song – but it's a sensational bit of 60s garage rock and features a pre-Devil Gate Drive Suzi Quatro… and this is how I'll always remember Suzi… or maybe like this… Posted via email from Supplemental
YouTube is brimming with Kate Bush TV appearances… most of which would fit into a blog post with "bonkers" in its title and a fair few of which came from her 1979 Christmas Special… here are a couple of examples but seriously… watching Kate Bush's videos and tv appearances is a cure for most ailments… [...]
The Sian Alice Group are where most of this month's eMusic downloads have gone – very lovely… Posted via email from Supplemental
OK – I'll put the whole of this show on Mediafire tomorrow but until then here are a couple of tracks. The show was shortly after The Go-Betweens had split in early 1991. Robert came to town with a band he'd picked up in Berlin and played a stonking set – for the encore he [...]

Last Thursday Dean & Britta performed a set for radio station KCRW‘s show Morning Becomes Eclectic. The set mostly featured tracks from 13 Most Beautiful, but slipped in near the end was a cover of Galaxie 500′s Snowstorm. Now Snowstorm is my favourite song, no question. It entered my life at a very important time [...]
Recently in one of those Facebook memes when asked to name my top seven albums I put Patti Smith‘s Horses on that list. Obviously lists like that change like the weather but it is a great album and fully deserving of a place on the rotating list of great albums that appear in my top [...]
12 days late this time. I managed to miss their London show a few months back through feeling too crappy to go – a bit annoyed about that. Here’s a cool video for a piano version of Seven Days and Seven Nights to make me feel bit better about that… My 2008 New Year post [...]
