Song of the day – 596: The Boy Least Likely To and Gwenno
I’m very pleased to hear that The Boy Least Likely To is still making music as lovable and cuddly as ever.
10 REVIEWS OF THE NEW CULTS ALBUM – 10: confessional
Confession: I am a 1960s girl group snob.
Song of the day – 299: KIM
Guitars rock, like it’s still the 70s. Guitars rock, like we’re all still dancing in our living rooms to Herman Düne
Song of the day – 225: The Loves
Of course I have a crush on the wrong girl
Song of the day – 166: The Concretes
There’s a new Concretes album coming out. It’s been awhile. They’ve been off having kids, and meeting penguins. I still miss Victoria. I still like The Concretes, though. This new album sounds muted.

Spotlight – 27: The Pepper Pots
