Sebastien Tellier: Domesticated
Sebastien Tellier Domesticated Record Makers Okay, without any question or hesitation this is easily my least favourite Sebastien Tellier album. BUT, it’s still pretty fucking good. At least in places. There’s enough here to have me hitting it up for a while – and then just focussing in on the blinders, like Hazy Feelings, which […]Archive

Kody Nielson: Birthday Suite
Kody Nielson Birthday Suite Flying Nun Ruban and Kody Nielson – together, or alone – the work is always interesting, always worth hearing.

Sebastien Tellier: Confection
Sebastien Tellier Confection Record Makers If you know Sebastien Tellier’s music you probably know him for his brilliantly layered, butch disco music; a sort of drunk-slick soul-sleaze set of electro-inspired pop tunes, and he’s all Warren Ellis-impersonating-Serge Gainsbourg, or a mountain-man down to tinkle the ivories and sip some brandies while he raises hemlines with […]Archive

Tony Allen: An Autobiography of The Master Drummer of Afrobeat
Tony Allen: An Autobiography of The Master Drummer of Afrobeat Tony Allen with Michael E. Veal Duke University Press Books So, in the end, I was quite disappointed with this book – I had been pretty excited about reading it; the best thing about this book is that it has in no way dulled my […]Archive
