Kansas-based Split Lip Rayfield is part bluegrass, part punk, with a little speed metal mixed in for good measure. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen guitar genius Wayne Gottstine play the mandolin. Actually, scratch that. All you’d see is a blur. An incredible-sounding blur.

We went to see The Hollies Anniversary Show at the London Palladium because I had annoyed Mark pretty good the day before, and I wanted him to hear the song, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother. We were mocked in studio for going, but they killed it. You need to check out King Midas in Reverse.

Weird little video from Yacht for new song Utopia/Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire). The spatial environment in the video is a 3D visualization of the ideas of the radical architecture group Superstudio, whose vision of Utopia was a world without buildings and objects.

Omar S makes some of the best underground house music around. It’s deep, dirty and raw, just as you’d expect from a pioneering Detroit artist. Try not to dance to this, I dare you.

This album is great. I haven’t listened to him much before, though all my friends have for years, and I am psyched to have finally listened. It reminds me of Al Green a little bit.

There is a few things we all seem to know about Finland: it is in the cold North, people are depressed, and their music is heavy. Just look at Nightwish, Children of Bodom or HIM. But if you dig deeper, you’ll find that at least the latter is not the only truth. Historic traditions, Russian influence and a captivating melancholy. Or simple beauty.
