  • Razorlight – Razorlight

    Razorlightning rod. White jean wearing crocks of cack. In the morning you know you won’t remember a thing is a gleeful telling of date rape, as Johnny crows and dances round the semi conscious naked form of some drugged girl he’s about to plough. Disgusting. And they play it on the radio. I hope the… Read more

  • Alright Still – Lily Allen

    I love Lily Allen. She’s fucking fantastic. I would eat her if I could. On bread with a little brown sauce. She has a damn sweet voice, a beautiful turn of phrase, and a wildly misjudged sense of style. Fuck it I’m not going into any greater details, it’s a good album and she is… Read more

You will be listening… Read more

The hoopty-doopty swingsong songs are… Read more

  • f#a#* – Godspeed you black emperor

    The album – helpfully titled f #a #* – was strikingly cinematic, recalling Ry Cooder’s soundtrack to Paris, Texas and Terrence Malick’s films Badlands and Days Of Heaven. Their style of splicing tape recordings of the angry disenfranchised and the mutterings of militias into their music echoes ’60s libertarian outsider counter-culture. Their use of ”authentic”… Read more
