Mrs Mackerel’s MGIM aka My God It’s Monday (28th Mar)

Good grief it’s Monday… I could bore you with an explanation, but really, does anyone care?! Only MM and he’s accepting of circumstances in his usual fishy way. We were quiz-lings again on Friday, and psychopaths (or should that be sociopaths?) notwithstanding, a good time was had by all. This week, the Teenager had his first humiliation in matters of the heart. Apparently, my rather … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s MGIM aka My God It’s Monday (28th Mar)

Jeffrey Foucault’s Horse Latitudes

We first discovered Jeffrey Focault through his collaboration with Mark Erelli on the excellent dusty murder ballads album Seven Curses – one of those on a whim purchases because we liked the cover, that paid off handsomely. We since discovered he has an extensive back catalogue of work and is much revered by peers and contemporaries. So this is the title track to his forthcoming … Continue reading Jeffrey Foucault’s Horse Latitudes

Try some Psychedelic Horseshit

Gotta love a band with a name like that. Newly signed in the UK to FatCat, Psychedelic Horseshit release their new album Laced on the 16th May. They’re outspoken, they’re loud, they’re a mishmash of various styles and you can experience their sound for yourself by checking out French Countryside from the new record below. Their second ‘proper’ album; it marks a major shift, upgrading … Continue reading Try some Psychedelic Horseshit

New from Thurston Moore

Thurston Moore will release his latest solo offering, Demolished Thoughts on 24th May via Matador. Opening track Benediction is an appropriate companion to our earlier post from Benjamin Francis Leftwich, being an offering from the quieter, more introspective end of his musical spectrum. While undeniably pretty, it sounds a very personal and slightly brooding piece of work and hopefully is representative of the whole album … Continue reading New from Thurston Moore

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – New Single

It was Barry-Sean who was first to pick up on Pictures, the fragile and elegant new EP from Benjamin Francis Leftwich. It was released earlier this month through Dirty Hit. The EP melds a flair for delicate and beautiful songwriting as it glides from the deft finger-picking on the lead track into the refined elegance of Sophie. On See You Soon, Leftwich’s hope strewn lyrics … Continue reading Benjamin Francis Leftwich – New Single

Bill Callahan Is Back

We were relative latecomers to the delights of Smog and of Bill Callahan – it was while watching the brilliant Shane Meadows directed Dead Man’s Shoes, hearing the desperate, cracked majesty of Vessel In Vain on the soundtrack, and knowing that was a song we had to have. Immediately. We’ve since spent a lot of time with his records and so it is a great delight … Continue reading Bill Callahan Is Back
