Here’s a select three of my favourite music videos from the past year. It was a struggle to narrow them down in all honesty, with notable mentions elsewhere going to Girls - ‘Hellhole Ratrace’, Coldplay - ‘Life In Technicolor II’ and The Twilight Sad - ‘Seven Years Of Letters’. Props to them also.

I don’t really ‘get’ Halloween, so fortunately this weekend keeping me out of trouble was Brainwash Festival IV, posing one of the most exciting festival bills seen anywhere going - with some in the holiday spirit and others not so much. Plus, since this is literally right on my doorstep, I might add, it would have been incredibly rude not to get involved. A couple of my personal...

Los Campesinos! - ‘The Sea Is a Good Place To Think About The Future’ I know I’ve given the title of ‘Wales’ finest export’ to mclusky in the past, however this five minute or so long taste of the new Los Campesinos! record is forcing me to have a rethink. Expect a final say on the matter once the new offering has been on repeat for a week or so after its...

Five bands to see at Reading/Leeds 2009
Here’s the pick of the array of musical talent set to soundtrack what promises to be one of the best weekends of the year. Myself? I’ll be at Leeds, as per usual, where the lineup is looking pretty great on the sly.
#5 - Lovvers - BBC Introducing stage, Reading Friday/Leeds Sunday
Lovvers - ‘Human Hair’
This appearance from the noise-punk outfit coincides with the...

Radiohead - ‘These Are My Twisted Words’
It’s a wondrous thing to come home to new Radiohead, even more so when there’s a certain air of mystery surrounding it. First off, what is it? Previously unreleased ‘In Rainbows’ demo? Leaked first taste of LP8? Then secondly, how did it come to appear on the net?
Two days on and some light is shed. The track in...

Russian Circles - ‘Harper Lewis’ (Live)
It’s fairly safe to say that after watching this clip the Chicago three piece (seen here with now departed bassist Colin DeKupier) have cemented their title as one of my favourite post-rock bands around. I’m hoping you enjoy it too. This October sees the release of ‘Geneva’, the group’s third LP and follow up...

Johnny Foreigner - ‘Feels Like Summer’
‘Grace and The Bigger Picture’, the follow up the last year’s debut from the Birmingham outfit is done, dusted and should be with us on October 26th, all being well. Here’s our first helping of new JoFo material in the form of the first single to be taken from the new record.
