various

Have just had no time for an update in ages. The Edinburgh festival was amazing, work is now extremely hectic....plus I am currently swimming 'the Channel' for charity.

anyway, here are a few random things:-

- The Magnolia Electric Co boxset is well worth having, even at £30
- The new Iron & Wine album is a major disappointment. Why mess with a winning formula?
- Rumble Strips album 'quite' good
- Hold Steady still the GREATEST band in the World. Live version of 'Cattle and The Creeping Things' from last year's Lollopalooza is the one track you should download from itunes if you only have 79p.
- White Stripes tour cancellation is a major major disappointment. hoping against hope that Arcade Fire release some more tickets for their November tour.
- Have been rediscovering my youth and listening to some Fish albums. My new motto is "If I liked it once, I can like it again".

will try to write some reviews soon.
seeing Buffalo Tom on Dec 1 (hopefully) so will try and review that.
