The Melting Ice Caps
If you’ve ever wondered what the spliced sperm of Neil Hannon & Morrissey would sound like if it’d spent a formative decade locked in a box listening to Soft Cell and the Pet Shop Boys, then let me introduce you to Mr. David Shah, aka The Melting Ice Caps. ‘Selfish Batchelor’ was the second of just five singles he’s released since July ’08, every one a bedsit [...]

Sugarbabes Reassemble!
With the news that the Sugarbabes no longer contain any Sugarbabes and should thus be renamed the ‘Sugarbabes’* (*Warning: does not contain actual Sugarbabes), I think it’s about time the original girls got back together to blow their ten-a-penny europap replacements out of the water.

For One Night Only Vol 4 – Wilco
It’s been two months since the last For One Night Only and that’s too long. So, here’s a prime slice of Wilco, a band who seem to have been around forever but have yet to release a truly bad album. Their first isn’t up to much, but letting a band grow over a series of albums [...]
