No Age

I'm not so into this video (hide your eyes at the very end), but cannot get the song out of my head now, so good.

Pates Tapes

The best thing i have discovered on the internet this year

Back to the 90s (again)

On Friday night I managed to get a last minute ticket to see Primal Scream perform the whole of Screamadelica. It was brilliant, I love Bobby Gillespie.

Pattern Recognition is right again!

This video is brilliant, I love George, and I love muscle cars too!
Pattern Recognition is always ahead of the curve!

Stay Together

So Pulp are back together, blur killed it last summer and Suede have released a best of album, reminds me how much I loved all of them...............

Dreamy looks, dreamy beats........

My friend Ben Perdue sent me this the other day, saying that the song was great but that he knew I would love the long haired, buttoned-up guys in the band, he was correct, they are great!

Sleep Forever

Last week I left my job at WGSN and this week I started my new job at Stylesight, Accessories Editor FYI. This weekend I think I have slept for about 70% of the time, the other 30% I spent listening to this......

LSTN UP!

I love Best Coast, just looking at the album cover confirms this even more, (sun, california & a cat), and you can now get a sneak preview listen of their debut album on the Urban Outfitters blog!
Check it out!

Leave them all behind..............

I can't ever get enough of this song.....a friend sent me the second video below this morning, the video quality is pretty bad but I guess that only adds to the nostalgic feeling I have for Ride, The Word, The 90s.....

"I wish I was from Brooklyn"

This is what I overheard a guy saying behind me at the Brooklyn bands showcase; Small Black/ TANLINES/ Javelin gig in Dalston, London last night. All three bands were brilliant, and sounded like the best holiday you've ever been on, 'Tropical Crunk' so it's been called!

Small Black
TANLINES
Javelin

While we were perusing the merchandise table I clocked the Small Black T-shirts, which totally summed up the band's sound, but also confirmed something I've been thinking about for a while, the revival of 90s surf t-shirts. The Fat Willy's Surf Shack t-shirts which were massive in the late 1980s/ early 90s, immediatly spring to mind, as well as the old Ocean Pacific styles. I am now on the hunt for a super faded 'Tropical Crunk' one for this tropical summer.

I want to go home......

Old to New

Last week turned into a bit of a gig marathon, with the highlights being The Slits and Best Coast, both girl rock, both brilliant in really different ways.

Ari Up from The Slits was brilliant, & had an amazing dreadlock hairdo going on. BASHMENT!

Best Coast were amazing, brilliant songs, witty banter, packed gig and a great signed EP for £5 finished it of perfectly.

Washed Out

The sun is out and I can't stop listening to Washed Out, dreamy tidal sounds perfect for the anticipation of summer. You must listen to this.....
