Sea Shanty Number 9

, , , ...



I started writing a big blog post about streaming music services and my OCD when it comes to music. Alas, I didn't finish it. Instead, here's a video of Paul Rafferty (Hot Club de Paris) covering Mark Magill's Sea Shanty Number 9.

You can listen to more by Hot Club de Paris on Spotify. Mark Magill plays bass in hardcore/metal band SSS (SSS on Spotify), who sound nothing like the above song.

Luke Leighfield

My pop-star friend Luke Leighfield is currently coming to the end of his latest tour. Titled 'Christmas Living Room and other places Tour', he lined up 16 dates across the length and breadth of the UK to play (mostly) in people's homes.

You can find Luke all over the web, but you can follow a blog of this tour on Punktastic. Luke's latest album, 'Have you got heart?' is available to download for free on Bandcamp.

Wonderful Christmas Time

, ,

Hold Your Horse Is (band logo)

The band Hold Your Horse Is have recorded the festive track 'Wonderful Christmas Time' for us all to listen to and enjoy.

Apparently, it will be made available on their website for free download - and whilst it doesn't look like it's on their site right now, the tracks 'You Show Up', 'Broken Sound' and 'Christopher Walken' are also free downloads from their site. Check it.

Update: The band have tweeted me saying that the download is only available if you sign up to their mailing list, which you can do on the website.

And So I Watch You From Afar

Going to see these guys tonight. Gonna be good.

coxy posts a post on the alcopop! blog

It appears that today was the day I popped my cross-blogging cherry and spontaneously wrote a new blog post for Jack of Alcopop! fame.

You can read the blog post and comment on it if you see fit. You should comment on it - that would make both you and I look popular and friendly.

Start a band!

I'd like to start a band

My friend James wants to start a band. He's a nice person and misses playing in his old band (which he had to leave to start a new job). If you can play some sort of instrument and live in the Manchester area, you should get in touch with him.

There's a website, a twitter and a Spotify playlist of music he likes.

I can't stop listening to the new Tellison track. Love it.

Stephen (from the band) is coming to Oslo at the start of December. It'll be good to see him again.
