What People Playin’

Here’s my latest roundup.

Tracks of my Year

People are saying “it’s that time of year” incessantly, so I suppose it must be that time of year. What time of year? That time of year when it is time for the year to come to an end, and people mark this in various ways, eg saying “it’s that time of year” everytime they […]

Word to your Sound

Here’s my latest roundup for the MP3 store What People Play. Check it and check those tunes out, some great stuff this time around, lots of which I discussed in this recent post.

The Colors Children…

Month to Month October-”The Color Series”
This month I wrote about Donnacha Costello’s Color Series to coincide with its release on CD for the first time. It was a really interesting interview so perhaps in a week or two I might post up some of the stuff that didn’t make the cut due to not being […]

Anyone who posts on ILM will be familiar with Alex and his many quirks as a writer, so some of the curveballs in the piece (Estroe, the Kylie reference) will be […]

Return of the stopgap post

So posts have been a bit intermittent lately, I’ve been writing quite a bit and also keeping my other blog going as best I can.  So for now check out these two RA reviews, of a momentous release here and another worthwhile one here.
Oh and I suddenly feel the need to point out that almost […]
