Daphne and Celeste ARE BACK!
Wow. Whereas other people’s lists of dream reformed bands are Oasis, ABBA, Smiths, Libertines (happened), Radiohead (they’ve not split – Fact Ed. Curses! – me) mine had Daphne and Celeste pretty high up on it. Non-ironically, I always felt that as this Tim Jonze article says they were a) punk as fuck and b) had…

RC 254: It’s Raining Fags And Dykes (aka The Bisexual Flood)

OK 8 bit Computer…
Before NME et al get their floppy mittens on this here’s a genius and so-obvious-why-did-no-one-do-it 8-bit cover album of Radiohead’s OK Computer. Was scratching my head for a while why it sounds so much better, then realised there wasn’t an Thom Yorke moaning on it, so BONUS! NICE 1P! HIGH REPOST SCORE: LEE SPOONS. FOR…
