… aaaaand we’re over the hump of the week. Happy Wednesday afternoon, everyone! How about something funky and uplifting and catchy and fun? How about something you can shake your arse and vocal chords to? How about something from Dublin? What? No, that’s not a typo. Oh ye of little faith … This is the sublimely gnarly Hoarsebox with something box-fresh for yis. This is Add It Up; it’s one of the new tracks from the lads’ debut album, which will be a ray of sunshine in the January 2011 gloom. No jobs, no leadership, no prospects … but a full Hoarsebox album! Huzzah! Pints! Hoarsebox have been working on the album with noses to the grindstone in Mississippi, of all places, so Add It Up is pretty redolent of deep-south gospel, if it were conceived by Willie Wonka during a skinny-dip in his chocolate lake. Love it? Yes I do! How … There’s more →

The best free n’ easy music downloads on the webbly. The fact that I’m at home, sick, should make me less bossy when it comes to music recommendations (all that consumption and pernicious rickets should put a halt to anyone’s gallop) but the unfortunate thing is, kids, I’m never off.

I’m still going to try and fly through this Seized, though, because I have a lot of antibiotics to abuse. Shall we? The astoundingly great Portugal. The Man released their fifth studio album, American Ghetto, a while back, which I completely forgot to mention because I am an idiot. They’re not idiots, … There’s more →

The best free n’ easy music downloads on the webbly this week. They say that if you love something, you’ve got to set it free. It didn’t work well with my canary, but my mournful tales won’t garner any attention from the music community, which is all the better to feed your lugs with, isn’t it? Here’s a sampler of the lovely teasers available from talented so and sos this week. By now I hope you’ve all had a lovely listen to Band Of Horses’ new album, Infinite Arms. It’s streaming in its entirety here, and it’s certainly more worthy of your time than that hour you were going to spend watching Scrubs reruns and eating droopy oven chips. Perfect if you like your indie-rock floaty and your musicians beardier than an Amish werewolf. I’m being facetious; Infinite Arms really is a fantastic listen. Available everywhere now. And while we’re … There’s more →
