David Bowie – Cat People (Putting out the Fire) I cannot BELIEVE I’ve had this blog going for about three years (or something) and not once featured a Bowie song? Insanity. Alas it’s not going to be solo Bowie here, this is more of a “look how incredible this soundtrack of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is’ post. [...]

White Stripes – Seven Nation Army Now I know what you’re thinking – this song is old, everyone knows it. Does it really merit a song of the day title (yes it obviously does, despite being old in modern terms) – one can’t argue with the talent of Jack “I’m so bloody prolific it would [...]

The Rapture – Get Myself Into It I can’t remember what song of the day I’m on because it’s been SO LONG since I’ve done a blog post of any description. So here I am, attempting to drive away the hideous weather of today (my boots had leaked before I’d walked five minutes to the [...]

Depeche Mode – Photographic Sorry, did I mention that I kind of like 80s music? It’s just a small thing, nothing serious, I LOVE IT. This song was brought to my attention by Fraz-Dawg in the house last night, after watching ‘Jurassic Park’ (a lot more enjoyable with friends and when you’re not small), after [...]

Just to alert everyone – I really like 80s music. And this ranges to quite a lot. I’m talking Wham!, Depeche Mode, Smiths, Yazoo, James Brown, Kraftwerk, Talking Heads, Blondie etc etc. I’m not really going for the serious tack, but I do absolutely love it. I suppose most people would say it has a [...]

LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous! Oh LCD, how I love thee. How I wish I’d seen you more before you so meanly split and didn’t let anyone see you ever again (bastards). Even snazzier, I managed to catch them in Berlin, the line up also included Boys Noize AND Hot Chip. Even with just those [...]

Oh hello Bland City, it’s the Beige Train pulling through. What’s that? Enough dull culture already? You won’t mind some more then. This week’s edition of Jools was pretty flat, it has to be said. Which is a great shame as I was anticipating the return of the series for a while. To be fair, [...]

Metronomy – The Bay Now despite not winning the Mercury and it in fact going to an artist who probably produces much better music, there is no denying this is a good song. It’s irritatingly catchy, mainly because I didn’t like the rest of the album much, but see what you think of this one. [...]

This question was posed to us by Mr Mogwai (of Mogwai fame) at their headliner slot on the night in question. End of the Road festival was immense, it literally did have it all. I was mildly dubious as the only other residential festival I’ve done is Glastonbury, so one could imagine it might be [...]

Weezer – Pink Triangle I’m not sure which is better, this or ‘Pork and Beans’, or any of the other Weezer songs that makes you say “fuck yes!” when someone who has enough taste plays it at a soirée of sorts – either way, they’re all pretty good. This recording isn’t quite as clear/good as [...]
