Matthew Dear and his stupid "big hands" have performed the worst live music I've seen all summer so far. Although I've yet to hear it, the idea of a Bowie cover sounds horrible. I wish he'd stick to the buttons and records!

The Red Thread is my favourite Arab Strap album, although it was actually Mad For Sadness that got me into the band (the live versions of Girls of Summer, Piglet and New Birds are all great). Singles wise its got to be Cherubs EP (for Motown Answers), Rocket Take Your Turn or Turbulence. Adele...

was that the one in edinburgh? cos I was there too. great gig that. big arab strap fan. infact i just noticed winamp is playing rocket take your turn - nice coincidence. i can hear your heart is well worth picking up, certainly one of my favourite releases on chemikal underground that one (high...

So Sunday Adventure Club was a great night in the end. Minimal done right is damn good fun. Heartthrob and Marc Houle playing "live" sets were particularly exciting. On the flip side, Magda was unusually boring. Even after 12 hours of M_nus we were still dancing away to Matt John as the sun came...

I'm heading to Berlin for this M_nus Sunday Adventure Club thing tomorrow. Will be around until Wednesday. Any of you Berlin heads got any recommends for the start of the week? Noticed Trickski have a night in a bar called Cookies on Tuesday. Worth a look?

Gilles Peterson is my favourite dj ever, be it radio or in a club setting. I discovered him while listening to late night radio one, back when i was revising for my GCSEs and his constantly evolving selection of music has shaped my tastes ever since. Worldwide has introduced me to countless...

Sherburne knows his stuff, clearly. But occasionally his discussion of dance music strays a little too far from the dancefloor, if you see what I mean. Tim F is pretty clued up. This is obviously the master thread. ...and blog wise I like Modifier, Chantilly and Basic Sounds.

Was disparately trying to find this on a legal MP3 site yesterday evening but ended up yarr-ing for lack of a DRM-free option. I'm currently in a total neptunes phase, downloading vast swathes of their discography so I was pretty excited to get hold of a new release - which reminds me; anyone...

I read on popbitch that they do the background music for the Sky electronic program guide.

Caught the full three hour version of Grindhouse last night. I'd already seen the two on divx as separate entities, but the cinema experience gave another dimension to the films. Originally I thought Planet Terror was the better of the two movies, but the big screen really brought out the detail...

Persepolis was quality. Found very little to fault along the way. Mesmerising visuals, great story, visuals and humour. Highly recommended. Happy-Go-Lucky is done a great disservice by its shocking trailers. A lovely panacea to the relentless negativity of UK life, and no Lily Allen in sight...

Sonar for me this year. Not been before, but I'm pretty good at not worrying about the people around me as long as the music's good enough (and the line-up looks particularly nice so that shouldn't be too much of a problem). Also heading out to Minus's Sunday Adventure Club in Berlin before...

Good news this. Enjoyed the blog, look forward to seeing the book.

Is this what's happening in that Welsh town at the moment (Bridgend)? More info here and here.

This Thursday we welcome up-and-coming Leeds based Hessle Audio to the LSRfm.com studio for an hour of music and chat, followed by a showcase from First Word Records, home of The Haggis Horns, Kidkanevil, Andy H and Mike L. With Hessle's latest release an instant sell-out, The Haggis Horns...

I can see how SAWII could be sexy as a piece of instrumental music. Laid back 80s jazz like Billy Cobham (Heather is in fact possibly the most sexy track I have in my collection) and that Miles '80s CD of pop music covers (wicked cover of Time After Time) sets the mood right... Gotta agree with...

This? Gilles Peterson's Valentines Mix, Cinematic Orchestra, Vikter Duplaix, Jazzanova, Beth Orton, Alpha, Jil Scott... depends on the occasion doesn't it? But never Arab Strap. Also, much as I like Teddy Pendergrass, my parents used to play that a whole load when I was little... :eek:

Oh no, that wasn't aimed at anyone. Its tough finding time to give the review the proper attention it deserves. Took me over 3 months! It was well worth it in the end though as mine was a mix I genuinely enjoyed.

I do a radio show on Leeds' Student Radio focusing on Yorkshire's soulful music scene. Me and the crew have put together a live event to promote some of our favourite Yorkshire artists and raise some money for a local charity. All the necessary information is below... If you wanna sort guestlist...

I just put my review up, about a month and a half late! Sorry about that. http://ferriteloveconnection.blogspot.com/ I've really enjoyed the process of compiling a CD, receiving another and reviewing it - although I don't think my musical knowledge has been sufficient to give a suitably in...
