Reaching A Wider Audience

I’ve been playing the new Aidan Moffat and Bill Wells album a lot in the shop since I bought a copy from a journalist (shops are rarely sent promos though strangely in the last month that has improved) and it has amazed me how many people when they ask who it is have not heard […]

Twitter – Less Is More – Let the moaning begin

Whenever an album comes out with a “limited” version including a DVD of the making of the album or a tour diary absolutely nobody cares. Sadly this message hasn’t reached the bands so twitter is full of news that a band has just played in Bournemouth and unsurprisingly it was a great gig or that […]

Jo Good 6 Music interview this morning

As usual just relieved not to have have made an arse of it or swore. Did my best to mention as many bands as possible. It is just over 10 minutes from the end on http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zp18y Savings and Loan sound amazing on the radio.

I’m just pleased I realised quickly how to take my year of birth off Facebook. I’m not complaining I’m just not […]

Elbow – Build A Rocket Boys! vinyl – an apology

Sorry to everybody I swore there was no vinyl to. It seems there is vinyl available exclusively from the Universal store something I hadn’t heard of before but seems to sell product, merchandise etc from Universal artists. I also see that Amazon now have it too I’m guessing after kicking up a fuss or maybe […]
