Yep, it's them again.

Mostly posts about music plus random tech, football, and nonsense.
Love him to bits.
So, you're saying the guy shot the whole thing in green screen, John Williams? Fantastic.
Bon Iver covered this brilliantly last night. The piano just makes this song. Classic Hornsby.
From last night's Jimmy Fallon show in the US. Two of my favourite songs melded together; Leon Russell's A Song For You and Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me . The former influenced the Hornsby, the latter elevated by the Hornsby.
One of the best bands of all time. I think that 2001's God Bless The Go-Go's album might just be their best. Yes, better than the 80's stuff. Controversial.
I'm going to keep posting songs by Stars until they become the biggest band in the world. In a parallel, beautiful universe they already are.

Some of my favourite Mark E Smith moments are in this track. Clip Clop! Spacebag!

I mean, how have I only recently discovered this band? The song is from 2007 and the unofficial video from 2009, directed by film-making student Jeff Dougherty. Great work.
Rehearsal track from the man responsible for this site's tag line. The comeback cometh.
The Blue Aeroplanes remain glorious. Their early 90's albums - Swagger, Beatsongs and Life Model are as fine a trio of consistent brillance as any band. This song, the opening single from Swagger contains the best opening line.
It's only 4 minutes long. Show it to anyone who asks what this voting referendum is all about. The 'Spoiler Effect' as explained 3 minutes in is the clincher for me.…
