Cowbell - Never Satisfied (Video)

I love this track. Hope you do too.

Cowbell are a blues/garage rock duo from London. Yes, it's a fella on guitar and vocals and a woman on drums. Sounds familiar doesnt it? I really dont care if they are a White Stripes rip off (they're not); this is great music.

Grizzly Bear cover Hot Chip

Grizzly Bear, creators of one of my albums of 2009 (I really need to finish those posts), cover one of Hot Chip's big singles from a few years back and change it from a dancey pop-track into a subtle folky lament. And it works.

New Shofolk A/W range

Folk's footwear line, entitled Shofolk (pronounced Shoe Folk, not 'Show' Folk) has always been a favourite of mine. The Finlay, pictured above, is a new derby for this year (and I want a pair).

-

Go to Folk's website 'superstore' to check out the rest of the line (including the Alaric, which I picked up last autumn, and got a bit of stick for).

Bombay Bicycle Club - Dust On The Ground mp3

As I've said before, this young 4-piece from North London are my favourite band at the moment. Their name is taken from a chain of Indian Take-Away restaurants, which makes me like them even more.

-

Their debut album "I had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose" is out now at all good record shops, and some bad ones too. It's excellent, and you can pick it up for less than 9 quid.

London Police Mural - Amsterdam

Click image for close up.

-

The London Police were commissioned to throw this mural up in the centre of Amsterdam's historic Jordaan district. But things went quickly downhill...

-

Wooster Says: "Despite getting written permission from the owner of the building, the City Council has threatened to remove it. Local residents are now actively rallying to save it."

-

How people fail to appreciate this type of thing is beyond me... it's not like it says 'Sharon is a slag' or 'Dave and Trace 4 Eva'.

New Burial (snippet)

Juno will be selling a double-A sided 12" from Monday 4th May, featuring brand new tracks from Four-Tet and, more importantly, South London Dubstep hero (hero of mine, at any rate), Burial. If you don't know about him, click here and 'learn yourself'.

-

You can stream a snippet of this forthcoming track HERE. The minute it's ripped to mp3 format, it will be on this site. Promise.

New music from Mike Skinner

Mike is giving brand new tracks away via twitter. Almost enough to make me take back all the nasty things I've said about that site...

Basement Jaxx - Raindrops mp3

New from Basement Jaxx. Good to have them back.

Peter Doherty - 1939 Returning mp3

This is alright. A nice gentle English lament, from Pete's new album, which came out Monday.

-

I know, the picture is harsh...

The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die mp3

I'm liking The Prodigy's new album.

-

However, it sounds like it could have been made in 1998, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned, but I don't know what 'da kidz' will think of it. Here is the opener and title track, Invaders Must Die, a good old high-energy Prodigy instrumental from Liam. Stop the Peter, Bjorn & John Video (one post down) and hit play. If you want to d/l this track for keeps, click on 'divshare' in the box below.

New 'Buck' Magazine Launch

Buck, a new men's magazine, is published for the first time this month. Based out of my home town, the magazine concentrates solely on style, design and food, unlike some of its competitors who try to cover everything and end up offering the obvious rather than genuine insight.

The first issue is dedicated to London and it's excellent.
