And young Londoners Black Midi were a bit of a buzz band at The Great Escape despite not having released anything. Here's their debut single. Lost of good post-punk/ noise-rock influences in there http://www.thefader.com/2018/05/30/black-midi-bmbmbm-premiere

I don't think I've mentioned Squid on here yet have I? London/Brighton (met at uni here), started off playing jazz at The Verdict so are all phenomenal players. I suppose they are a bit Talking Headsy in the same way that Canadian band Ought is. Most recent single here -...

The irony of course being that it is the Sun who accuse pretty much anyone with an opinion that differs from their caustic worldview of being 'snowflakes.'

If anyone really wants a 'I saw the best band ever and there were only 20 people in the room' type experience, Canadian post-punk types Crack Cloud play The Albert a week today. FFO: Pere Ubu, This Heat, Women https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg7kenlqvzs&t=913s

Haha. I like Beach House but they have pretty much put out the same record seven times.

Yeah, it's a record I know I should like but I don't really. It's about the 3rd in a row of his I've thought that about so it's probably time for me to give up. Has anyone heard the new Parliament album? It's amazing to hear George Clinton assimilating the influence of everything he influenced...

I wonder if, given their genuine and heartfelt objection to violence of any kind, the Sun won't be making pathetic allusions to past wars should we draw Argentina or Germany. What an absolute waste of everyone's time this 'story' is.

It's different for everyone but I actually found stopping far easier than trying to drink in moderation. That was complete torture.

Congratulations to big club Sunderland who managed to get out of the Championship at the first time of asking.

Coming up to 16 months without a drink. Best thing I ever did

It's Canadian's Freak Heat Waves. A band I've like for a while, this that they've just released has gone off at a wierdo-pop tangent. https://freakheatwaves.bandcamp.com/ Black Midi will be well worth catching as well imo. I tried to get hold of them as well...

Yes, it does look a bit better this year than it has been for a while. I'm putting on a couple of killer alt-escape shows. Friday - https://www.facebook.com/events/438926903216057/ Saturday - https://www.facebook.com/events/197414127679007/ Made up 'cos I got my favourite band off the main...

GNOD play The Hope tonight.

I'm really no fan of Uber as a business but as part of a more general point it really does worry me that we are presided over at local and national level by people who appear to have virtually no understanding of the internet, how it works and how it is changing our lives at a worrying/ amazing...

I definitely believe Mayfield was the safest option on the board. Darnold (turnovers) Allen (accuracy) & Rosen (appetite, injury) all had question marks. It's what I would have done. I think they also knew had they taken Barkley at 1 as many have been suggesting then Mayfield would have been...

I see the Steelers selection of Mason Rudolph has had the desired effect! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000930884/article/big-ben-rudolph-era-wont-begin-for-3-to-5-years

This is abhorrent. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/may/02/conservative-mps-told-to-vote-against-windrush-documents-motion

Mayfield may end up beating Tyrod out in camp imo. The Browns line was much improved last year. No, he wouldn't have been available in the 2nd round but I'm sure a QB needy team could have given them something for the no.4 pick and they could have moved down and got Ward later in the first. No...

If Browns want to grab a running back, there's plenty of good ones in this draft. Guice is still on the board. I think having been burned by so many QB's in recent times they fell in love with Mayfield as the overall safest prospect and as a character/ leadership guy. Denzel Ward was a big...
