Hello,

The very first song I put on the Blog was from a band called the "Archie Bronson Outfit" and loads of people have said they thought it was amazing, so for a little treat, here are two more songs from their 2006 Album "Derdang, Derdang"
They are currently in the studio and the new album should not be too far away and with Tim Goldsworthy (DFA) producing it, it should be nothing short of amazing. (No pressure!)
I love swearing as much as the next bloke, but I personally don't like the use of swear words in bands names, there are enough words in the the English language to avoid this and I also feel silly saying the bands name out loud if someone asks who they are..... although on the other hand, who knows maybe this is the tipping point of when certain swear words pass into everyday use (like damm). It's probably not though.
I played this next song on my Ipod on the bus coming home after work last October and it made me feel a little uncomfortable, It's 10 minutes long and is quite dark and menacing but I love it. It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but give it a chance and see what you think!
This is a hard sell. Lil Wayne is one of those rappers you see on Mtv and you just assume he's going to be like the rest of them, huge in the states, but only for an album or two and then wash out.... but his Album "Tha Carter III" is actually pretty decent, now i'm definitely more of a hip hop fan than a rap fan but I'll open my ear to anything decent. Here is one of the best tunes off that album and a remix by one of the Mad Decent crew, Toy Selectah. Straight outta Cricklewood!
I'm a fan of Benga, you guys liked the last tune, so here is one his first tracks from his 2006 Newstep album. It's very simple stuff, but it's has serious groove.....
I dig older music. Most of the time it's more soulful and a bit purer than most of the stuff that's around today, so here is 3 older classic tracks that I've been listening to loads recently;
That classic 5 note blues guitar riff at it's best!
Everyone knows this track, but most can't place where they have heard it, think racecars and Tom Cruise.... yeah.
This song reminds me of summer holidays from school as a kid and with the recent glorious sunshine we've been having here in Ireland, I thought it only right to get it out.....
Dancehall/Reggae/Ragga, I love 'em all and this track is one of my all time fav's. Real Ragga Reggae.
Kasabian are a tough group to describe, they have some amazing songs, but their albums never quite gel like you hope they would. This is their latest track which is also on that Sony TV advert with the spinny thing and the footballer.
Natasha Khan is pretty much a musical genius in my books, like a credible Lilly Allen who can actually sing as well as write, here is (after a bit of faffing from letterman) a great live clip of her singing that amazing song Daniel.
