Christmas Number Ones: A Measure of Christmas's True Meaning
So, I was watching the news a few nights ago and this year it seems the Canadian news has bothered to report on the UK Christmas number one. Apparently, it’s newsworthy this time because three versions of Hallelujah are competing for the top spot: the original by Leonard Cohen, the cover by Jeff Buckley and the cover by Alexandra Burke, some woman from X-Factor. The saddest part of...
SxSW Beginner's Guide #5 - E(zer Good) & F
The sun is now shining, gleaming off the quilt of white snow over everything outside.

Cafe Rocks at Cafe De Paris 7 August 2009
The Elody by Bryn Bache So I find myself reclining on a red velvet bed in the dressing room of a Brazilian pop star. We are in the VIP area deep beneath the sumptuous Café de Paris in London’s bustling West End. Ok, there are about another 100 people squeezed in here as well, but it’s the thought that counts.

Art Brut - Just Desserts
Art Brut’s new, Frank Black-produced album, Art Brut Vs. Satan, drops May 12 through Downtown, but "Just Desserts" won’t be on it. The track, drawn from the same "punk-as-fuck" sessions the band did with Black for the record, didn’t quite make the tracklist, which isn’t to say that its three and a half minutes of simplified, serrated guitars and...
It'll Be Filthy This Christmas
The Filthy Little Angels Christmas compilation is as traditional as overcooked sprouts, mistletoe kisses from your granny, novelty xmas socks from your aunty and the Christmas TOTP being crap and this years is no exception.   There’s Eddie Argos & Keith TOTP’s recherché remodelling of the Cliff Richard’s ‘Mistletoe & Wine’ into a true indie...

Eddie Argos Reviews

In Loving Memory Of (EP)
Band name: LET'S WRESTLE Label: Stolen Recordings Teaser: The label behind Pete and the Pirates makes their first move of 2008, and it’s a good move too. Like the child gangsters from Bugsy Malone, Let’s Wrestle are anarchistic, diabolic, and probably psychotic. Lewis Hingston reviews their debut EP… Pull quote 2: the band come off as a less...
Untitled Musical Project
Band name: Untitled Musical Project Label: Tigertrap Teaser: The Band With No Name are back with The EP With No Name - and we’re gurning like fools. Kevin Perry contemplates whether such a stupendous live act can get it all nailed down in the studio… Pull quote 2: Perhaps this album represented an opportunity for them to run further, and to create a more...
