  • Selling your used MP3s

    Selling used records or CDs makes sense, but used MP3s isn't such an obvious idea. A new site, still in private beta, called Bopaboo is planning to buy (legally) your MP3s and sell them on, taking 20% cut on the sale. http://www.bopaboo.com

  • The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner

    Tonight, one time only, and for the first time in 10 years Ben Folds Five re-unite to perform their last album “The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner“. Got to see this band three times on three different tours – always a blast watching them. Was a shame they split, but wasn't due to musical differences […]

  • London Conversations

    London Conversations is the new Best Of album from Saint Etienne, featuring not only the early classics but plenty of tracks from their more recent LPs; the excellent Finesterre and Tales From Turnpike House. If you don't have much Saint Etienne in your collection I suggest you buy it when it comes out next week, […]

  • Free David Holmes free download

    David Holmes did a short set at Rough Trade East yesterday. Eclectic really isn't the word, the only think I really recognised was part of the score for Taxi Driver and the final track which was from his new album. Would have been better listening to this sort of thing in a dark dingy bar […]

  • Wolfgangs Vault

    Just stumbled across Wolfgangs Vault – hundreds of free live concerts to stream across to your computer. Really like the fact they are full-length, including all the banter inbetween the songs too. Impressive list of artists, though it's American classic rock orientated and most of the concerts are quite a few years old…. but heck, […]

  • Dave Grohl on Ringo

    Did you watch the McCartney concert last night?.. Spotted the 2nd drum kit… wondered if it was going to be Ringo…. It wasn't it was Dave Grohl, which is great, but having Ringo Starr there would have been greater. Dave Grohl is a big fan of Ringo, see here http://www.beatlelinks.net/forums/showthread.php?t=30763 Liverpool Sound Paul McCartney – Back […]

  • Joy Zipper

    Joy Zipper are a singer songwriting duo (and partners in real life) from Long Island, New York who sound to me like a blissed out summer version of Sonic Youth, alternatively described as “ethereal pop” if you like. All their albums are consistently good, perfect for Summer days and nights, but if you can find […]
