A couple of weeks ago we posted the link to listen to and download the new Casiokids single, entitled 'Det Haster', which roughly translates to 'it's urgent'. It is not, of course, urgent that you listen to the of Montreal remix of this track, but we did think it might interest you.»
We all know the work of French director Vincent Moon, or at least you should do. He's the one who has done the Takeaway Shows at La Blogotheque as well as the Efterklang film An Island. He's also made four films around the All Tomorrow's Parties festival and those films are the subject here. Specifically the funding of them.»
A load of music, entirely for free.»
Yes. We do understand that it's very early to be doing anything when it comes to Christmas, apart from booking holidays. That hasn't stopped M. Ward and Zoey Deschanel, collectively known as She & Him from a stream of a track from their forthcoming Ch»
There was that time, upon the release of Primary Colours in 2009, when The Horrors really surprised us. Truly, madly and deeply. Anyway, their new one, Skying, wasn't so surprising, but it did carry on the good work they set down in their previous record. There's now a video for one of the tracks from it, 'I Can See Through You'.»

Gearing up for the release of her debut album, Northwestern musical lady Liz Green has announced a full-on British tour from mid-late November and early-mid December. First of all, however, there are a few dates in the October, which are also listed here, above the new dates.»
Mikey Welsh, who was bassist for Weezer from 1998-2001, has died at the age of 40. The news was announced in a post Weezer's website late last night US time as well as on his Facebook page.»
OK, so we admit we've been a bit slack with continuing the posts of Ólafur Arnalds's Living Room Songs. Yes, there are two more to go, to make SEVEN in total, but there are three which have since passed us by. Anyway, they are nicely collected in here, video links and direct download links all provided, as are song titles.»
This week's Spotifriday playlist featuring Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Goldmund, New Look, Neon Indian and more...»
Goldmund aka Helios, aka Keith Kenniff is an artist of much who has an impeccable collection of records behind his various names, including last year's Famous Places, released through Type. There's another release from KK on the way under the Goldmund moniker. It's All Will Prosper and is getting a release on December 6 on Western Vinyl.»
Aidan Moffat & Bill Wells released a quite wonderful album earlier this year, with Michael Wheeler waxing lyrical about it, and giving it 9/10. Fully deserved, don't you think. There's a new EP on the way from them, released on October 17 through Chemikal Underground. Excitingly the EP has a cover of Bananarama's 'Cruel Summer' and we've got the video for it. Yeah. Watch it here!»
Scottish folk singer Bert Jansch, founder of the band Pentangle, has died at the age of 67. He died in the early part of Wednesday morning at a hospice in London, having being diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2009. »

Yesterday we ran the first of Ólafur Arnalds' Living Room Songs which was, aptly enough, called 'Fyrsta' - Icelandic for 'first'. A brief explanation is that, like Found Songs, Ólafur is writing, recording and releasing a song a day for the whole of this week.»
The art of releasing an EP or two before and in between full-length records is perhaps being lost. However, Esben & The Witch aren't to blame for this and indeed they'll be releasing another one of these rare things on November 7 through Matador, enti»

When we first heard PJ Harvey's new material, taken from Let England Shake, it was on Andrew Marr's Sunday morning show. Polly Jean has now taken to the same show, albeit this time as part of the backdrop of the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. She was interviewed, along with Prime Minister David Cameron and also performed 'The Last Living Rose'.»
At the end of last week Icelandic neo-classic composer Ólafur Arnalds surprised us by announcing Living Room Songs. For those of you familiar with his oeuvre then you will probably remember when he wrote and recorded a free song a day for a week, and turned it into Found Songs. With Living Room Songs he's doing something similar, starting from today. »

Chad Valley - he who is also part of Jonquil - released an EP earlier this year and we bloody well liked it scoring it 8/10. We also got a guide to Oxford from Chad Valley, too. Unfortunate thing was I went a week before it was published. Oh well. Regardless of the travel advice, we've got a remix of 'Shell Suite', which is taken from that EP. »

Ganglians released their new album, Still Living, earlier this year and now there's a video for a track from it. The track in question is called 'Bradley' which also happens to be a man's name. It's like well over six-minutes. And the video is good also. »
Tim Hecker's Ravedeath 1972 made it onto our favourites from the first half of the year and deservedly so, because it is quite frankly brilliant. Don't be surprised to see it up there in our end of year list, although we do like to keep you guessing. It a»
A couple of weeks ago it was announced that Gold Panda would release a CD in the DJ-Kicks series through !K7 records. That's released on October 31 and the opening track is a new, original track from Mr Panda. It's called 'An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds' and you can now listen to it here, as a lot of people already have done. »
