The blog that's been too busy preparing a lawsuit against West Ham United to do any writing.

How nice


The good people of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (crazy name, crazy town) have the decency to incorporate an additional sign of how to pronounce their name built into their train station stop sign. A special touch because sometimes you just don’t the bother of having to make the effort.

It's hard a thing to admit, but when one reaches a certain age (your humble correspondent having just turned 33) you pine for NEW music that sounds uncannily like OLD music. For there are genuinely few innovative pieces of music coming out these days, as there are only 12 notes that can be played and all that. However, this blog is always happy to be proved wrong in this regard and positively encourages NEWNESS to rear its fangled head.

The point is, that the latest NEW but OLD music of excitement and note arrives via Buffalo Killers. Shaggy, scruffy ruffians to a man dishing out raucous slabs of inflamed blues-infused rock. 'Get Together Now Today' has a sweet, languid groove attached to a cannily catchy tune and is a good introduction to these Cincinnati furries. This track comes straight on when you visit their website.

A more upfront side to the Ohio outfit comes with ‘Take Me Back Home’, which sounds like a pissed-up Free to these ears. This is good stuff that should be played very loudly, which can be done here. This is an mp3 link, so if there is anyone reading who can sue this blog disapproves, it shall be promptly removed. If you like it, support the artist and purchase it via the usual channels, like normal people used to do.
