What the fuck, Franky B Rockafeller, if that is indeed my real name!? I’ve only gone and Introduced The History Of Apple Pie in one of those months that happen every year but in this case it happened in 2010 when it wasn’t quite as hot as it was the month before and not as [...]

A couple of hours ago London’s The Big Pink uploaded two short snippets from their upcoming second album. There’s no word on what the album’s called, when it’s coming out, on which label it’ll be released (presumably 4AD), artwork, tracklisting or otherwise.  I suppose I could’ve just said “This is all there is to know [...]

Buy the album from Amazon – Vinyl | MP3 I’ve only recently come into contact with World Unite! Lucifer Youth Foundation, or “Woo Life” as their Wikipedia page says it can be pronounced. They’re one of the bands that sort of slipped through the cracks for me as other parts of my life got very [...]

There are some bands that I really wish I could have caught early. Bands like The Beatles, The Stones, Nirvana, Sex Pistols… (I’m sure you have yours, maybe you could let me know what they are.). The thing about seeing a band before they make it big is that you get to see them in [...]

If you’re a regular listener of 6 Music (as I am), Jukebox Collective will be no stranger to you. Amongst their 6 Music accolades are: Winner of 6 Music Rebel Playlist against Beady Eye and Carl Barat – April 2011 and Steve Lamacq Interview as “Favourite new band” in April 2011. They have also received heavy [...]

Remember September?  That month with the days and sometimes there’s rain and sun depending on where you live? Yeah that one, with the days and stuff. Well the last time that came around these parts I posted a radio rip of Jamie xx‘s debut song/single/release beast “Far Nearer”.  Nobody was sure what it was going [...]

Intermittently over the last few months you’ve seen me post about Porcelain Raft, the London-based Italian who’s been riding on that untethered downbeat Lo-Chill Electro-Wave tip. My first taste of Mauro Remiddi was as part of the 7″ split single with Yuck back in December where they each covered a song of each other’s, Yuck opting [...]

WU LYF (World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) have been around for a couple of years, releasing demos and songs as a mysterious outfit, bypassing the normal (in these days) methods of blogs and labels and PR firms to promote themselves, then as interest grew in this group of Mancunians, interest came from each of those [...]

OK boys and girls, quick musical history lesson coming up. Stay with me, it’s kinda fascinating. Why were singles traditionally 3 minutes long? Our dear friend Wikipedia says “A combination of technical factors combined with the 10 inch diameter of standard discs limited the duration of recording available on each side of a disc to [...]
