Tagged a while back by maurinsky (via Hazel) This is tricky, mostly tricky because of all I’ve had to leave out (two Galaxie 500 albums for starters). On Fire – Galaxie 500 (1989)Best album ever. Nothing more to say (except that its appearance in this list also represents the band’s entire output and that of [...]
50,000 little piggies!originally uploaded by Mr. Mark I had decided that my 50,000th track played on last.fm would be carefully chosen and played (just for myself obviously) with a little bit of a celebration. Today I noticed that the Billy Bragg track I was playing was number 50,027 and that the time for celebration had [...]
Not only has it been a four year wait for this album but it’s been a nine month wait since they announced the new album…but now it’s less than a month away. The new album by The New Year is called The New Year and rccrdlbl.com has a track from it to download and it’s…well…unmistakably [...]

Silje Nes There were four acts on the bill at the second Fat Cat Records night at the Theatre Royal in Brighton – the middle two Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad were both enjoyable enough guitar rock bands…but they weren’t the reason we were there. The first act Silje Nes also was not the [...]
Dean and Andyoriginally uploaded by moley75 I’ve just finished Dean Wareham’s book – for a fan it is a slightly frustrating gem of a read – it’s written in an easy casual style with Dean’s dry wit recognisable from 20 years of listening to his lyrics.

I created a Flickr group to collect all the pictures of Britta singing You Turned My Head Around just because I wanted to look at a slideshow of them. How sad am I? The answer is “very”. All the pictures are in the group pool – Photo credits: 1. Dean and Britta at the El [...]
Dean & BrittaOriginally uploaded by modernmod The last time Dean appeared in this series I rushed off to the Puma website to try and buy his shoes (now that’s the dedication of a fan). I do rather like these white shoes but they are white and I don’t think I can pull that off ( [...]
