Nothing’s Gonna Change Your Mind
The first single from Badly Drawn Boy‘s soon to be released album Born In The U.K. is due out on 9th October. It’s called Nothing’s Gonna Change Your Mind, and it sounds more like the BDB of old than the track Born In The U.K. does. First off, check out this video to the new single…
It’s a cool video and I love the idea that you could control a car by the power of keys! I think most of Badly Drawn Boy’s … [read more]
New Winehouse tracks
The impending release of the new Amy Winehouse album Back To Black is getting ever nearer – 30th October, to be precise – and what better way to tease the hell out of you, than by sharing a few tracks! First off though, check out this video to Rehab, the first single off the new album. It is due out on 23rd October and was produced by Mark Ronson. Pretty strong first single, good job on the brass and the 60s soul style drums, the … [read more]Cheers Darlin’
Mr. Damien Rice, the Irish acoustic folk extraordinaire, is finally about to deliver the new material we’ve been waiting so long to hear. 9 Crimes is the first single from his upcoming album 9.

I read something the other day and my first thought was “oh no, he’s doing a Shadow”, but I read on a bit further, and somehow I came out at the other end thinking that actually, this could be really good. I’m talking about RJD2‘s decision to dump hip-hop (and Def Jux) to join the label XL for his new electro-rock album. “Wha?!” might be your response, but you did read right.This new album, so far un-named and not due out till … [read more]
Is it cos I’m Crazy?!
An admission: super-sharp readers may have realised that Friday’s usual Track of the Week feature was put up on a Thursday (yesterday) – well, what can I say, it’s been a strange week! We’ve all done it, right? I somehow thought Friday was yesterday, turns out it’s today – doh. To make up for this sinister mistake, I’ve got a heavy, heavy, heavy, remix of the Teddybears track Cobrastyle for you – this remix is by none other than Diplo…

My friends at Ninja Tune have sent me a fantastic birthday present. They didn’t know it was my birthday, but that’s not the point. I’m referring to new material by Big Dada’s Ty. 2003′s Upwards was immense, fantastic British soulful hip-hop, and now the man is back. His third album, Closer, is due out on 16th October, and I’ve got to tell you… I’m excited. Knowing how talented the man is, I really shouldn’t have been surprised by the names featured on this … [read more]Early August Treats!
August already?! That means it’s my Birthday soon… another year older, scary! Anyway, I have some treats for you – just some tracks I’ve been digging recently, either heard on the radio, stumbled across, or found via other peeps on the world wide web.
First up is a track by the Brisbane trio The Grates. I first heard this track on Triple J radio a month or so ago, but as ever it was one of those tracks I heard but never grabbed the … [read more]
Zero dB – Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines
Zero dB are Chris Vogado and Neil Combstock, a hard-jazz/electro/latin/hip-hop/house duo signed to Ninja Tune. This summer they bring us their new album; Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines. I've heard a rough version of the album, and I want to give you the low-down…The album consists of nine tracks that span a total of just under one hour. The first track is latin to the core, but with an added electro kick to it, perhaps reminiscent of a more progressive Mr. Scruff track. … [read more]
