Audacious Results

Audacious results,
Cracked tomb vaults,
Bamboo stacked: old.
Suffering Gold.

Solipsist Stains,
Marmalade Veins,

Ash Burnt Fights,
Forever Delight when

We Only Talk In Metpahors...

As Declan bounds off to India, he has left us all with his newly recorded summer stomper of a tune, 'Imagination Discourse'. He recently recorded it with Dan Brown of Phantom Limb fame. And it's very good, of course.

Listen to it here.

We will all miss him greatly.
Have a nice time, matey.

Talking Smiths

During the last few months, I've been scouting and searching through the bountiful back-catalogue of Talking Heads. For a while I had only been familiar with the earlier stuff (predominantly 'Fear Of Music' and 'Remian In Light'), but I have recently ventured into the latter albums on the music lover's best friend that is Spotify.

To say I really got into these latter albums would be a lie. I found them lacking the general consistancy and creativity of Byrne and co's earlier stuff, really... Having said that, a band of Talking Heads' calibre couldn't make an album without at least a handful of gems that I'd love. It was listening to their 'Blind' album that I came across a song called '(Nothing But) Flowers', which has Johnny Marr on it, which was most probably why I got into it so much.

In fact, I think there are elements of Declan's guitar playing on our new EP in this song.
Did I just compare him to Johnny Marr?... He can pay me later.

Talking Heads - Nothing But Flowers

Full Fat Goodness...


After extensive recent listens, I highly advise you listen to Black Milk's most recent album, 'Tronic'. Too many good tunes.
