Muso-bable
The thoughts and ocassional ramblings of a 30-something muso.
Hello, I’m a muso. I'm one of those guys you see digging around the racks of vinyl in London's backstreet record shops. I'm not addicted, I can give it up whenever I want. I just need to find that limited edition 7" single that the NME made single of the week. Maybe you've bumped into me in the queue for the bar at The Academy or The Astoria. There are thousands of us in London - I've seen all the regular faces in the record shops and at the gigs.

This blog is my attempt to write about the records that I love, the gigs I've been to and, well, anything else to do with music. Hopefully you'll find something here that makes you nod in agreement or rant in disagreement or maybe even laugh.

News From Bloc Party

Just back from The Concretes gig at the 100 Club - a review by Monday, hopefully, stag do's permitting. Also, I've put aside 5 minutes tomorrow to find that YYY's review, which seems to have gone AWOL on my desk.

The follow piece of mail arrived from Bloc Party today and I felt I should pass it on to you, the blogsphere. See you at the academy on the 14th June?


Manufactured Music

The release of Bloc Party's 'Banquet'/'Staying Fat' has been bumped back a week
to a new timecode of 3rd May. This is due apparently to a gremlin in the
manufacturing process. But don't lose your sweatbands you little artwave
fans, the single can still be ordered through the Moshi Moshi shop on 26th
April so get clicking to http://www.moshimoshimusic.com/.
