The Vinyl Countdown # 1031

Mirel Wagner, When The Cellar Children See The Light of Day (2014) A couple of times a year – it’s maybe a little more than that, but not many more – I like to buy a brand new record based on something I’ve reviewed. A little time capsule-type gesture from me to me – as […]

U2: Songs of Innocence

U2 Songs of Innocence Universal/Apple/Malware U2’s first new album in five years will see an official release next month – meanwhile anyone with an iTunes account had the album placed within their files unasked for, unwanted, a hack on their computer.

Big Friendlies: Boy Rock (ep)

Big Friendlies Boy Rock (Independent/Bandcamp) Big Friendlies is a three-piece (Drew, Chris, Aaron) and I regret not seeing their gig a few weeks back – inertia, malaise, whatever the excuse I downloaded their EP instead and by the second tracks, the wonderful Eversons-esque Late Nineties, I was regretting my decision to stay in.

Psychodeus: An Ode To The Numinous

Psychodeus An Ode To The Numinous Sonofmarketing.it/Bandcamp Psychodeus is a post-rock group from Naples, Italy. Their two-track EP is a free download at Bandcamp.
