Emmy the Great – Virtue
So there is a new Emmy the Great album out on Monday 13th June. This excites me a great deal, I loved her first album an awful lot, and her song We Almost Had a Baby, off that first album, … Continue reading
A Dreamlike Haze
A couple of weeks ago I went to see Warpaint at the Kazimier in Liverpool, I had been very much anticipating a fantastic show and they did not disappoint. It was the first time I’d been to the venue, which … Continue reading
We’re All as Mad as Hatters Here
I thought it was about time that I mentioned one of my favourite singer songwriter people in forever, and that is the master musicmeister Mr Tom Waits. His characteristic husky voice and fantastic songwriting skills really make me very happy. … Continue reading

Latitude, aaaagh I’m rather excited!
This is likely to be my last post before going to latitude as the rate at which I get these things out I’ll likely not write another before it. The thing about writing about which bands to see at Latitude … Continue reading

Stumbling Over What to Say
Right, sorry I’m being a bit slow in doing this, but I’ve been revising for my exams, which actually I should be doing right now but I have just lost all bother, it has run away somewhere, hopefully I’ll coax … Continue reading

A Sleep Deprived Gig
So on Thursday night after already being awake for 35 hours writing an extraordinarily dull essay, I headed out into town to watch The Besnard Lakes at the O2 Academy here in Liverpool. I arrived at the gig as the … Continue reading
