Blog Roundup

Been quite a while since I’ve done one of these, shame on me!

Miss Tart has a mighty review up of a live show with Brakes Brakes Brakes (The Electric Soft Parade’s other band). Sounds like something we all should have attended! [Love Shack, Baby]

Jim over at QBIM reminded me of how great Hawksley Workman is, something you’d think would be harder to forget. Head over to hear his track ‘Maniacs’. [Quick Before It Melts]

Casey has a great post up about funeral songs in the UK. The top 10 is pretty ghastly, but he offers you the chance to pick you own swan song. [Crumblr]

Lee has posted his thoughts on the latest offering from Kings of Convenience. [Knox Road]

JC – a man I’ve previously described as a musical archaeologist, and boy is he – has capped off his lengthy tour through Morrissey’s solo single career with a single from his latest album, Years of Refusal. It’s a 38 part series, so do yourself a favor and search the archives for previous entries. [The Vinyl Villain]

Linda at Speed of Dark has a nice review up of a recent live show by Fever Ray, including some excellent pictures that seem to capture the weird fabulousness of Karen Dreijer Andersson. [Speed of Dark]
