This week, I've been mostly listening to...

Royal Blood. 

Simian Mobile Disco - "Tangents"

Choon

Happy Friday

Perfect piece of pop from Michael Head (Shack)

Gig - The Pixies

Went to this last Thursday at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester. Decent venue messrs Kelly and Monteath if you get the chance to go.

Support were Royal Blood who were very good, Maximo Park who were the epitome of "meh" (what were they doing on the line-up....bought their way on??).

Pixies were excellent, we'd got the new album and subjected to repeated listening so it was all familiar stuff.

La Roux - Uptight Downtown

Like this, it's very "Let's Dance".

I say hello...

Good stuff. But once someone has put the alternative "Mr Tumble" lyric in your head, it's hard to shake off.

Metronomy - Reservoir (Official Video)

Really like this. And previous stuff...album purchase in the making.

Mozza

Awayland

Procured very late in 2013 this didn't make the cut for my Barts. However it is undoubtedly one of the best albums of the last 12 months.

Another Barts marker...if you haven't seen it, find a way.
