Various, Luxembourg, The Vichy Government, The Boyfriends - Rip Off Your Labels: More Angular Product
The true artist creates art for herself. What lassos the hoodlums on Rip Off Your Labels into some semi-coherent (anti) philosophy is their refusenik spirit and more simply, that they have tickled the listening ears and pounding hearts of Angular honchos Joe D and Joe M.»
This Charming Man: Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch
Belle & Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch talks to Nadine McBay about School's Out, funktastic new single 'Your Cover's Blown' and his transition from shadowy indie svengali to self-proclaimed 'media ho'.»

Who does Thomas Hansen think he is – Neil Sedaka? Subtitling his fourth LP in as many years with ‘The Comeback’ is apparently a means to distance the Norwegian from the aftermath of last year’s ‘Hey Harmony’.»
Bobby Conn at Glasgow Sub Club, Sun 21 Mar
It’s nipple-stingingly bitter, it’s way after DiS’s bedtime and the front of the queue can only be spied with Hubble-strength magnification. America's finest pop-busting indie-toting paradox, might just be the icon we've been waiting for...»
