  • Kleptones got LO LO LO LO

    Kleptones got LO LO LO LO

    It’s another Wednesday so what does that mean? Another Kleptones album, the third – LO – accurately described because this has low downtempo moods – I hinted at that on one of the previous posts. Ranging from Daniel Johnston, Pigface, David Byrne, Mark Kozelek, Richard Thompson, Bill Withers, Sonic Youth, Leonard Cohen to Beth Orton…

    RC 351: The List Show Part 2

    It’s August and we’re not listless, no, we’re listing even more, with the sequel to 350 Part 1! Yay a sequel to a podcast that no-one wanted anyway! In fact we can now make a list of all the podcast themes we should avoid *ahem*. It’s the last list show, promise! From lists of locations,…

He seems oddly relevant to what is happening in the States in the last…

Fallen rappers, singers, comics, musicians all together, from Nick Drake to Biggie, Elliott Smith to Bill Hicks, ODB to…

  • RIP Leonard Cohen

    RIP Leonard Cohen

    Just as 2016 couldn’t get any worse, just heard that Leonard Cohen has died. ‘Everybody Knows’ seems eerily appropriate after Trump, but also one of my favourites, ‘Who By Fire’. Yes Leonard, who shall I say is calling? And ‘First We Take Manhattan’ seems oddly appropriate too… And screw it, here’s Hallelujah, can’t post about…

  • The bigger the bull

    The bigger the bull

    Somehow despite growing up around english folk and jazz I’ve never heard of Jake Thackray…apparently Wild Beasts, Arctic Monkeys and Jarvis Cocker are fans, and I can hear why. And like a lot of the 1970’s and 1950’s acerbic songs, from Paddy Roberts to Tom Lehrer to this you can hear a dark serious undercurrent…
