These Bob Mould videos all have unexpected people turning up. You have to wait until the end for this one.

Mostly posts about music plus random tech, football, and nonsense.
I did not know that Streisand covered this in 1977. Now updated with a not at all superfluous exchange about pizza at the end.
I've been enjoying the debut album from The Both (Aimee Mann and Ted Leo) since release earlier this year. It's not available from the normal UK stores, but I got my copy from Aimee Mann's site.
Oh my. Claire Boucher: It’s our take on Dante’s inferno. The circles of hell reflect more contemporary issues though. We shot a bunch at the salton sea which is basically an apocalyptic wasteland filled with dead fish because of human…
Album 4 hasn't been warmly received - rightly so - it's a stinker compared to ANNA. Maybe their time has already been. They've still got the occasional big catchy song like this though.

I'd been warming to Lykke Li's 'I Never Learn' in the weeks leading up to the Latitude Festival. I still wasn't prepared for how much I enjoyed her set. An exceptional performer.…

Last month, I saw Slowdive perform at Latitude Festival. This was a big deal for me, right up there with the Stone Roses comeback. It was surreal to be standing among people who weren't even born the last time I saw them (23 years ago).…
Florrie's been one the finest British pop songwriters for about 4 years now, always on the brink of having a major breakthrough song. I could name a dozen tracks which should have been way more successful by now.…
Poliça make the best music I've ever heard.
