It’s not for the cock, it’s for Multinationalism

I haven’t posted on here for a LONG time.
I’ve been in America, in fact, still am. It has its ups, and it has its downs, but overall it’s pretty incredible.
I felt that I’d probably by too busy to write here, or to go to gigs, but I’m not sure why - I’ve been keeping up quite well.
I recently went to Voodoofest in New Orleans, and it was incredible. I saw MIA, Rage against the Machine, Kings of Leon and a plethora of jazz musicians and digeridooists. It was magical. I have also traveled down to Nashville to see Interpol live, and they absolutely blew me away, the atmosphere in this wooden seated building was incredible, and it was completely different to any gig I’ve been to in England. (Different, not better)

So - on a return to form, I can’t quite remember how to upload songs, which is ok, because the event that prompted me to write this requires nothing more than a listen - Trophy Scars have released a new song. It costs nowt but 0.99c - less than 50p GBP, and from the small preview HERE is a complete return to form of a band that I have been waiting on for ages.

I am currently listening to a lot of Bon Ivor and Illinois - both of whom I found off other blogs- I will link to the posts below - the Illinois song on Pandatoes is HEAVILY recommended, it’s my favourite of the week, and if you didn’t download the Menomena song I posted AGES ago - it’s also there. I’ll be back when I get further instructions on techstuff.

Pandatoes on Illinois
Music-for-robots on Bon Ivor

Enjoy.
