THEN she went into her bag again and pulled out nothing other than a can of stella. she popped it on the table we shared, got a hanky out and dusted off the top, opened the can and took a slurp. im pretty sure she did the 'mmm mmm ' shoulder shrug thing that i do when i like something. again. lets say she did. I almost asked for a picture. she is what stop scratching is made of. I cant say it was an immediate hit. but we sang i...

Wednesday, 17 December 2008. A deer is for life, not just for christmas. I was tidying up my desktop and organising things into folders yesterday (sad i know, it's a habit that Cassie got me in to) when I stumbled upon a folder of pictures from ATP vs Pitchfork. Back in may which I had completely forgotten about. When thinking back to that night, it's hard to imagine i'd easily forgot the ordeal I went through in order to get them. It was the Sunday night of ATP. It" was Extreme Hunting 2. A 1st person s...

Tuesday, 23 December 2008. Shdwplay#1: catch some waves. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then go home and take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them. Said it best, he always says it best and with his sentiment let me introduce The. Now, I can't be sure whether the band had to claw the singer off the ceiling to do the vocals, or whether they do drugs at all but it seems pretty elementary. The.

Wednesday, 10 December 2008. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. So there you have it, my vision of 2008's finest offerings summed up in 10 pictures. Feel free to tell me if you think I missed anything or if indeed you disagree. In the end there are way more electronic based albums on the list than I would have imagined but I put a lot of thought into it and I feel that these are the releases i've. Been able to come back to and enjoy more than any other this year. It's been a good one. 12 TV On The Radio.

stop scratching: September 2008
http://stop-scratching.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 24 September 2008. Four straight days on the sauce has given me a painfully sore throat. was it all worth it though? Saturday night was shunt. Tat with everyone around me behaving in an fun, inspiring and friendly manor. The rest of the four days of abuse and lack of sleep consisted of the last ever tuck shop in birmingham, the no shows forever house gig and the rolo tomassi. Album launch party. all were incredible but a special shout out has to go to banjo or freakout. I need a job. So today ...

Sunday, 26 October 2008. Happy sunday everyone, we have some nice news and music to accompany t4 and your roast dinners today and that is that we're very pleased and equally excited to announce that we'll be doing a tape for the righteous lo-fi synth pop act, baby venom. Http:/ www.myspace.com/babyvenombaby. That they are doing exactly that. As a band they are still somewhat in their infancy, which gives it a real positive, esoteric quality. they make music that sounds like it was made solely for you...
