  • Gamma Knife

    Gamma Knife

    Not checked in with King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard for a while, but keep hearing “Gamma Knife” on 6Music, which is good that they’re on board with this excellent psychedelic Australian band (featured here on this very blog and podcast many moons ago). Video is both trippy and funny, which is about par for…

  • Bowie memories

    Bowie memories

    People are sharing their Bowie memories, and I think that’s a good thing to do…seems as others have said odd to mourn for someone you didn’t know, but as Lauren Laverne said, when someone’s music touches your life for so long, so many decades, it’s bound to make you feel something.

Zarelli is Carwyn Ellis, frontman for Colorama and collaborator with Edwyn Collins, amongst many things. I’ve just bought…

  • Hawkwind with the Prince of the Hawk-Men

    Hawkwind with the Prince of the Hawk-Men

    I heard this via Stewart Lee standing in for Stuart Maconie on the Freak Zone – genius combining Brian Blessed (Prince Vultan of the Hawk-Men in Flash Gordon) with Hakwind on this remake of Sonic Attack. Completely mental, in the best way.

  • This pain is like a glacier moving through you

    This pain is like a glacier moving through you

    I make no secret of my love of John Grant, seeing him perform Glacier last year was probably the best moment in a gig, his voice blew right through me and lifted me up. I seem to be hearing a lot of him lately, what with the excellent documentary on Iceland that’s just aired, the…
