Single of the Week...

Apologies for lack of updates. Have been very busy.

Consequently I've found myself listening to odd songs rather than albums. I've got a backlog of LPs to review and will try to get them done at the weekend.

One of those LPs is the new one from The Dodos, the jauntily monikered 'Time To Die'. Its a bit different from last year's 'Visitor', generally less upbeat with longer, denser songs. More effort required, not to say that is a bad thing. Their new single 'Fables' is the exception though, a thrilling pop song with some lovely strumming and some satisfying percussion. It is one of those songs that you feel you must have heard before somehow. Will get a lot of play on the radio I should think. I like it a lot.

Will be blogging about one of the albums of the year in the near future, as well as a couple of gigs and the new Nick Hornby book, which is most certainly of interest to readers of a music blog. Oh yes.
