What we’ve been up to over the past few weeks and months

November 11, 2010

I know, we’ve been quiet. Very quiet. It’s not because we don’t love you, we’ve  just been extremely busy with the move/Eliza’s (she says hi, btw) been looking for a job etc. We’ve also had something of a mid-life crisis re our blog, wondering what the point is if everyone and their uncle is writing about...

Cats, Persian or otherwise

Cats, Persian or otherwise

Take It Easy Hospital are bound to get their 15 minutes of fame after the release of No One Knows About Persian Cats. By ‘fame’ I don’t mean they’ll actually have a chart-topping record and get rich off their music, but that certain indiehead bloggers in the Hype-machine-world are going to write about their...

Review: ‘Strange Powers – Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields’

It’s not often you get the chance to see the ins and outs of the evolution of your favourite band. Particularly if that band isn’t U2 or Metallica. All the more reason to be thankful to Kerthy Fix and Gail O’Hara, who spent ten years following Stephin Merritt and The Magnetic Fields, and have made something...

Die Antwoord = the answer

Die Antwoord = the answer

These are dark days. Rain. Cold. Darkness. Unemployment. Swine flu. And it's times like these that call for futuristic rap crews like Die Antwoord. Coming on like some twisted Chernobylesque Chris Cunningham, Flight of the Conchords, Chris Morris, Tim Westwood, David Lynch hybrid love child, Die Antwoord hail from ever-cooler South Africa, and have...

Just another day.

January 28, 2010
Just another day.

Today. Just another day, but at the same time, uhm, not really because today – of all days, today! – I HAVE BEEN SAVED. Someone has finally perfectly translated feelings I often have into intelligible English sentences: “Have you ever made an effort to voice or give word-shape to your complaints or fears? Have...

I Say Fever

November 5, 2009

I Say FeverBoy Ant What a fantastic spooky video from Ramona Falls, this is. I must admit I never payed much attention to the band before we got a link to this in our inbox. Sure, I’d heard some of their songs but was definitely in the Unimpressed camp as far as they were...

The return of Kings of Convenience!

Standing at a festival watching The Whitest Boy Alive this summer, I turned to Eliza and said “this is probably the closest we’ll ever get to seeing Kings of Convenience“. Well, it appears I might well have been wrong, as our favourite Norwegian duo are back! Their new album Declaration of Dependence, out in...

A chat with Slow Club. Well, half of Slow Club. Whatever, just don’t call them twee!

It Doesn’t Have to be Beautiful When I Go We first met Slow Club 1.5 years ago, when, visiting London at Christmas, we chanced upon a rather special gig at The Social. The bill consisted of Pete and the Pirates, Emmy the Great, Slow Club and a few others (there was definitely one electronic...

Múm’s new album

  …is pretty good, though nowhere near as good as, say, Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy. It still makes you feel like you’re living in a Hayao Miyazaki movie for a while, though. Which can only mean good things; it can only mean that the magic is not yet lost.    If I...

All those summer parties, bleep bleep beep, swine flu and a sweet farewell to Daniel F

Find us a trap door, find us a plane Tell the survivors help is on the way I was a blindfold, never complained All the survivors singing in the rain I was the one with the world at my feet Goddess of battle, leave it up to me What it is and where it...
