Future Islands On The Water

The Fall Ersatz GB
The Fall continue their prolific and unique take on rock and punk and rockabilly and electro, etc. They just don't know when to stop, and we should all be grateful for that.

Luke Haines 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the 1970s and Early '80s
Remember sitting down on a Saturday afternoon to watch such colourfully named, and skimpily dressed, figures as Big Daddy, Kendo Nagasaki or Giant Haystacks? Odds are, probably not, but never mind as former Auteurs/Black Box Recorder/Baader Meinhoff man Luke Haines wants to tell you all about it.

Mark McGuire Get Lost
Mark McGuire, the guitarist for Emeralds, releases another album of atmospheric guitar swirls. It's not nearly as good as his previous album, but its still incredibly gorgeous.

Cher Lloyd Sticks + Stones
Are you an ill-behaved, precocious, self-centred, materialistic pre-teen girl? Rejoice! Your soundtrack has arrived!
Having checked thoroughly, Joe Rivers has concluded that, thankfully, his swagger's in check... -
David Lynch Crazy Clown Time
The debut solo album from the maverick filmmaker, all-round rennaissance man and "Jimmy Stewart from Mars" David Lynch. Is it "Rockin' good news" or would "silencio" be more preferable?
Mark Davison used to know a kid with the biggest tongue in the world...
