Video: Man, Woman, Friend, Computer “Exordium/Outgrown”

June 19, 2017 Jeremy Searle 0
Something a little different here but it’s truly outstanding.  The video is by Yuliya Tsukerman, the music by Austin band Man, Woman, Friend, Computer.  The marionette animation is astonishing and very moving and the music fits […]

Donald Byron Wheatley “Moondogs and Mad Dogs” (Maiden Voyage Recording Co, 2017)

June 18, 2017 Muff Fitzgerald 0
Rear-ended by a car which sent me and my bicycle flying through the air, the kerb-stone rose up and smashed me in the face. Paramedics diagnosed a broken nose, fractured arm, wrist and cracked ribs, and […]

Live Review: Leah Blevins, Rough Trade, Denmark Street, London – 26th June 2026

Jessica Risker “I See You In The Stars” (Western Vinyl, 2018)

May 11, 2018 0
