Drowned In Manchester #10 – Festival Preview Spotify Special
There’s a reason this column has become more sporadic in 2012, and it’s not due to a lack of things going on in Manchester. Far from it. In fact it feels like the rush of the musical tide flowing through this city is such that I’m sitting meekly at »
This Week's Singles: 23/04/12 North Atlantic Oscillation, Willy Moon, Pulled Apart By Horses
Single of the Week! North Atlantic Oscillation - ‘Soft Coda’ (Kscope) Some bands can get away with lyrics as vague as fog. North Atlantic Oscillation are one of those bands, which is why it is alright that their amiable, button-pushing, bomba»

This Week's Singles: 29/03/10
Beach House and Django Django win the red rosettes this week, while some predictably harsh words are doled out to Scouting For Girls and any band who decide to ruin Animal Collective's 'My Girls'. Is this what the end of the world sounds like? Don't be silly, everyone, it's only music! »
This Week's Singles: 20/07/2009
This week I have been clearing out my parents’ house, involving days of shoebox rifling and the finding of various teen-pash accoutrements - not least a gigantic wall poster of Jan Michael Vincent. All this looking back is neatly relevant though, as some bright spark is attempting to squeeze pennies out of those still not in possession of The Stone Roses back catalogue.

Moving Pictures: Video of the Year - 1st Quarter 2013
