The Nicolas Jaar really is as good as all the praise it's getting. There's a new (old) Orchestra Poly-Rhythmo de Cotonou album out too, which is always a good thing. I've also been listening to the new Radiohead album a lot. It's really good once you get in to it. Lotus Flower is amazing.

I've had a backlog of films to get developed, but i'm getting through them now. The results are on

This album is wild. Psychedelic Thai rock filtered through as many styles as you can throw a toad at. It's on Andy Votel's Finders Keepers label. Votel also turns up on Gruff Rhys's new album, Hotel shampoo, which is a very catchy little pop nugget.

Chris, our bass player, has sorted out this night at the Lamp.
Paul smith of Maximo Park is doing a DJ set and Chris is doing a set as Horse Guards Parade Sound System!
I think he'll be playing everything from Aphex twin to Hendrix.

80's Hull

Saw this picture in the Hull history centre. It reminded me of buying 'Hull 4 London 0' on cassette from Regis Record Centre on Holderness Road in the mid 80's. It was the first album I had bought with my own money, I chose it over the Top Gun soundtrack!

WOW!

The most amazing video ever!
