She Says: Asian women seem to be very much more active in the Music industry than in the west and they play, write, and produce music of all genres. Mr P and I would like to celebrate the contribution of Asian women in a He Said ~ She Said post (or maybe more than one). But there really [...]
I Need Your Bedroom Eyes
Posted in 2010s, Indie, Totty, tagged Dum Dum Girls on September 27, 2011 | 7 Comments »
I have had “Bedroom Eyes” by Dum Dum Girls stuck on repeat for the last few weeks, and now there’s a fab video to go with it. Press play if you like 60s girl groups, The Raveonettes, The Bangles, Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders or any good music really. Catchy as hell chorus, sublime bridge and [...]

Underwater Tea Party

Terrific bit of editing and use of colour filters in this new video from Warpaint. The cuts from out/into the water are perfection.

To celebrate the International Year of the Cow* I thought it would be nice to trawl down the back of my metaphorical sofa and dig out some dairy themed “outsider” stuff for you all to “enjoy”. Cows, are, I feel, somewhat neglected in song. There are plenty of great songs about cowboys and a few [...]
Forget That You’re Young
Posted in 2010s, Indie, Totty on February 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I think you all know how much I love The Raveonettes, so it makes me happy to hear they’ve a new album in April. This song “Forget That You’re Young” is the first sneak peek from “Raven In The Grave”. It’s not one of their pop numbers, or one of their fuzzy feedback epics, but [...]
Fleetwood Mac versus Nirvana
Posted in 2000s, Indie, Psychedelia, Totty, tagged Warpaint on October 12, 2010 | 8 Comments »
Warpaint mailed me today about their new (heavy on the diffusion) video, seems like kids today are listening to Fleetwood Mac, cribbing from Nirvana and making something really quite listenable with it all.

Holiday House Party

I went to high school in the late 1970′s in a crap town in the northeast (USA) where there was essentially nothing much to do. But we were basically all friends in a well integrated town, and weekends we usually found someone’s house or basement, maybe with a pool table, cleared a space for dancing, [...]

Rambling Man

Laura Marling’s songs have rocketed to the top of my last.fm scrobbler, as I endlessly play her new album “I Speak Because I Can” – she’s just released a video for “Rambling Man” which is about the 7th best song on the record. I feel like I’ve been bangin on about Marling since forever*, so [...]
Marling Monday / Songs About Shagging
Posted in Folk, Indie, Totty, tagged Uncategorized on March 22, 2010 | 25 Comments »
I think you all know how much I like the music of Laura Marling. Her debut was in my top 10 of the 00s, and its very likely the follow up will show highly in this years top ten. Marling has taken the folk-pop songs of her past and given them a 4000volt-mumfordite shock, boosting [...]

Due to my inbox being flooded with requests for this, I feel I must oblige. So, in no particular order, here’s my top ten indie hotties: Annie Hardy, the one woman potty-mouth shoegazeathon that is Giant Drag. Obscure indie folkstress Rozi Plain. Sophie Ellis Bextor was in an indie band before conquering the pop charts. [...]
