Prison I am stuck in an ism prism Prison walls grind down hard Harder, faster, harder and more They strive, like gulag guards To create the next best thing. I am stuck in stuckism And Dadaism and modernism Manifesto’s festering in deserted desktops Whilst I scrabble, sunlight-blind in soil To plant a root which can grow. I am stuck, unmoving and cold In winter’s prison, ice shackled, Unable to...

John and his Scotch pies.
This is John he was 76 last week he is the sweetest bloke to walk the earth(apart from the homeless man). Every monday he brings me in Scotch pies. He gets these from Morrisons, £1 for two. He insists I take them and doesn’t want any money. My freezer is becoming stacked with the things. Everyone should have a John in their lives, they are not easy to come by but in order to find your own...

Christmas Island
With songs like ‘Blackout Summer’ incorporating staccato guitar and that lo-fi garage sound which emanates from the states like a beacon in the night it might be easy to dismiss Christmas Island as ‘another Black Lips’. But no! Wait! Come back! Christmas Island are not just ‘another’ band, guitars in hand to be filed under those like Meth Teeth and Girls....

We have been a little neglectful with the whole fashion side of things…Today I walked past a tramp near Old Street tube station and he shouted ‘nice clothes.’ So after that prompt here are some of our nice clothes on Natasha.

Sexy words, Ronan Keating.
Last night it was warm, me and Elaine took a stroll around the quiet back streets just beyond Chalk Farm. The place is full of shrubs and it smelled like Greece in its humidity. We began to discuss Ronan Keating, who is one of many male celebrities recently embroiled in ‘sex texting’ scandals.
‘So someone takes a photo of their own genitals (or a part of their body that they...

Great Escape....
An insightful weekend, I have never seen so many ‘industry’ people in one place. If someone had inadvertently bombed the dome the ‘alternative’ London music scene would be in disarray. They’d go nuts. There would be no tweeting, no write ups reviews or really bad,misquoted interviews in NME…People would just have to roll along to a gig and decide if they liked it...

Kitsuné Maison 9 - "Petit Bateau edition"
Kitsune, why are you not my entire brain and knowledge of music? The French label are so hooked into the great and good - Washed Out, Monarchy, Two Door Cinema Club, Silver Columns- and are so good at getting the remix whizzes of the world to work their magic- The Twelves, Joan of Arc- that every compilation album which breaks out into the world is a gem. Naming this the “Petit...

DAZZLE SHIPS
There’s something about duo Dazzle Ships which sounds more Brit Pop than Californication. With lazy, drawling vocals from the male counterpart and a pitch-perfect offering from the female it kind of feelsl like Belle and Sebastian have gotten into a fight with Joy Division and lost out. There’s a battle for colour in a grey world with songs named ‘Golden Raise’ and...

PEEPHOLES
Rolling dreamscapes filled with an underbelly of angst. Peepholes keep it brief with music that can jump and skate. Take ‘Ladder’ which combines lo-fi vocals with energetic electronic skittering and jump-around guitar… Then turn to ‘MARSXXHY’ with it’s strong These New Puritans drumbeating and echoing reverb and then roll over quick time and stick on...

GANGLIANS
There’s big stuff going on in the States at the moment, as though everyone is taking a step back and relaxing whilst everyone else is freaking over economic stress and over complicated guitar chord progressions… Maybe it has something to do with Obama? Either way Ganglians are in a parade of US bands who are dusting off the trusty feedback and psychedelia formula (think: Vivian...
