The Dead Weather

2009-03-23T18:10:00.006Z

Once again Jack White is utilizing his genius by creating another really cool super group 'The Dead Weather'. This time Jack White is offering up his drum skills, vocals and guitar. He's bought along Jack Lawrence from The Raconteurs (bass) and two new additions Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age (guitar) and Alison Mosshart of The Kills (vocals). I have only heard two tracks on youtube so

...and you will know us by the trail of dead

2009-03-22T11:58:00.003Z

April is approaching and I have purchased a ticket for one of the most hard working cult bands out there "...and you will know us by the trail of dead." The new album "The century of self" cover features amazing blue ink artwork from the singer "Conrad" and is very much a combination of past and present albums. So instead of taking a new direction they have used the directions they have already

The Magic Numbers - Runnin' Out (Live from Glastonbury)

2008-12-08T15:15:00.004Z

Great melodies, vocals and my favourite bit of all the snare pattern. Genius bit of drumming. Well written songs are so pleasing to the ear.

Football Stat Attack!

Gotta love wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_records_in_England

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - The Golden Age (Live)

2008-11-27T23:42:00.001Z

The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon (live on Letterman)

2008-11-18T17:15:00.002Z

Gotta love some good popular rock'n'eggroll. Drummer spanks the snare with precision and gusto.

Richard Bone - Alien Girl

2008-11-16T16:29:00.002Z

Some quirky electro pop. Reminds me of GameBoy fun.

Stewart Francis on Family (Mock the Week)

2008-09-12T14:57:00.002+01:00

Thoughtful silly comedy from Stewart Francis.

2008-08-09T09:29:00.003+01:00

FireFox 3 has now entered our lives. Well why not make life a little sweeter. These add ons and theme are the best out there. I promise. They should come bundled with FireFox. But they have given you the choice and now you should take it. Enjoy efficient browsing.Tab Mix PlusAero ThemeBritish English Dictionary

Laura Marling - Ghosts (Live)

2008-08-08T17:16:00.001+01:00

Easily the best live female vocals I've heard this year. Even tops Winehouse, but that's just my opinion. Have a listen.

Ida Maria - Queen Of The World (at Later with Jools Holland)

2008-08-04T23:25:00.001+01:00

Norwegian rock sister Ida Maria is making upbeat fun popular punky tunes. Since I've come back from Spain I've been stumbling across loads of music that I heard before but forgot about. She was one of the artists.

Devendra Banhart - At the Hop

2008-08-04T00:09:00.004+01:00

Modern Folk at its best. He reminds me of Marc Bolan and Fionn Reagan mixed together. Inspiring stuff. I'm surprised I have not heard him on the media'box or digital'waves. Suppose there is to much music about now days.

Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning

2008-08-03T23:48:00.004+01:00

I don't usually watch music channels. But I did and stumbled across this ballsy funk pop track when I was on holiday. She's a multi-instru'mental'ist and started off playing the drums. Another artist that I have found recently who is originally from New Zealand. Seems like they have a good scene over there.

Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone

2008-07-28T19:17:00.004+01:00

I've heard she's compared to Bjork. I don't agree. But this tune is pretty catchy. The rest of their stuff I checked on myspace from the same album doesn't sound as good because it's more electronic. Looks like another band without a strong album just a good single. Ahh well we all get an opinion.

One Day As A Lion

2008-07-22T21:41:00.004+01:00

Probably the coolest collaboration in modern music. Jon Theadore (ex Mars Volta Drummer) joins forces with the most talented power political singer of our times Zach De La Rocha on Keys. Check them out now before your forced to by the radio air waves.>> One Day As A Lion <<

Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris - Dance Wiv Me

2008-07-22T20:49:00.003+01:00

Just found out this tune is number one. I'm pleased. It's catchy and I love it.

Dewey Cox on Drugs

The Subways - Alright

2008-06-09T14:12:00.001+01:00

The Subways set to release a new album "All Or Nothing" this year have repackaged themselves to a higher market value. Looking polished and fresh. Nice tune but reminds me of their earlier stuff and Blink 182's newer tunes mixed together. Americans will love it. Can't complain because they are better than most pop rockers out there. I hope the rest of the album is more raw.

Learn Japanese with Keith Lemon

2008-06-09T13:32:00.003+01:00

Keith Lemon's silly humour tickles me every time. His persona replicates the celebrities that are famous due to their stupidity. Big Brother has just started up again, so I'm sure we will see some more half brained celebrities over the next year.

Nike Football Advert

2008-05-27T09:38:00.002+01:00

I usually hate adverts. Switching to another channel as soon as they begin. But this caught my eye. The camera direction is unlike any other I've seen. Sometimes the players almost look 3D. Quality of this video isn't amazing. So I hope you notice it on TV.

Blind Football World Cup

2008-05-22T16:24:00.002+01:00

>Playing football with eyesight is challenging for some people. So for these blind players it must be well challenging. It's funny that Brazil always have to win.

Gremlins in BT Buiness Advert

2008-05-22T11:38:00.004+01:00

I never thought I would see Gremlins again but the classic little animatronic critters have appeared alongside Dragons' Den's Peter Jones for BT Business.

Hamish and Andy

2008-05-16T12:03:00.006+01:00

At the end of last year I stumbled across a improvised comedy show called Thank God You're Here. The concept was taken from an Australian show with the same name. Hamish Blake (on the right in the photo) was a multiple winner on the Australian show and helped promote the UK version by appearing in the earlier episodes. His relaxed improvisations made me search for him online and I found he has a

Alphabeat - Fascination

2008-05-10T09:54:00.002+01:00

You will find it hard to not like these pop indie rockers with their upbeat summer tune. Visually they look manufactured from the clothes styling of snap, crack and pop. Very vibrant and clean cut. Definitely will make it onto one of my summer play lists.
