I attempt to review the top 10 singles chart

I have decided to prove how down with the kids I am and write a review of the top 10. I haven’t listened to the charts in years and years so this should be fun, I also am completely unaware who half of the artists are.

In a sad attempt to up my street cred, I have gone a step further and reviewed NEXT WEEKS top 10 (taken from the official charts website). Yes, I am even more down with the charts than the kids are!

New band in good album shocker! Django Django

I’d previously been getting very cynical about the way record labels seem to be more short sighted than ever these days, therefore it’s great to see a band such as Django Django. Signed to independent label Because, the band look set to break through into the mainstream with their debut album looking to enter the national chart this. This is a rare occasion these days as it was recently reported that sales of music by guitar bands is at its lowest in many years. Their Beta Band versus Hot Chip sound is welcome more than ever at the moment.

Roundup of new releases for 2012

It’s not often you go into the new year with a load of new releases on the horizon that you’re excited about, but 2012 seems to be such a year. Supposedly Factory Floor will have their debut album out this year and I’m sure there will be a whole load of new bands who emerge. Here’s a list of some of my favourite bands who have new albums out this spring…..

My Soundtrack to 2011

Here’s what I’ve been listening to in the last twelve months….

Veronica Falls

The thing I love about Veronica Falls, is the fact they specialise in the one thing that many mainstream artists forget about these days… and that is songwriting. Their shows are incredibly undertstated as they appear extremely nervous despite the fact they have been touring loads this year. All this though makes me love them all the more, rather like Belle & Sebastian or My Bloody Valentine when they released their debut albums, it’s just the music that does all the talking. When you’ve got songs as good as ‘Beachy Head’ and ‘The Fountain’ you don’t need any gimmicks.

Creation Records documentary from 1994

I originally taped most of this show from the radio way back in 1994 and it’s a far superior documentary than the 2004 one broadcast on Radio 2. This was originally broadcast on Radio 1 before the era when Creation became Oasis’ record label and all the fantastic bands that made the label great were cast off on the scrapheap as they didn’t sell enough records compared to their new signings, as a certain group once said ‘Money Changes Everything’.

Five festivals from hell

It’s that time of year again with the August Bank Holiday weekend to say goodbye to the festival season for another year. Last year whilst watching the Reading Festival on TV I finally got round to writing my review of the 1992 festival headlined by Nirvana.

If HMV was closing down, would that be so bad?

We all know in the last decade there has been much talk about the death of the music industry and one aspect that has possibly changed the most is the way we retail music. The usual bores always blame downloading and the record labels are naively trying so hard to get the industry back to it’s 1990′s heyday rather than looking forward.

Roundup of recent music

Spring is in the air and the days are getting longer, which is great news as life no longer becomes so much of an endurance test and and it’s loads easier to find pleasures in life. Therefore it’s time for a look at the releases that are currently floating my boat…. Read more »
