Yes...it's another Semi Regular New Music Round up...


Hello dear reader, how’s tricks? Looking good! Actually you look a little tired, been overdoing it again? Still you’re only young once eh? I’d make the most of it if I were you, eat, drink and be merry, well as merry as you can get these days without someone wittering on about liver damage. Good grief, on the one hand the Government’s moaning that we’re all living too long and telling us we’ve got to work until we’re 147 and on the other they want us to stop smoking, drinking, eating, shagging...anything that’s remotely enjoyable in fact. Here’s a new idea...free fags n’booze for anyone who wants ‘em...then anyone who wants to pop their clogs at 37’s free to do so. Voila...what pension crisis. Hmmm...think I might run for Prime Minister...  

Anyway, on with la musica! I do like a good concept behind an album so anyone who comes up with the idea of a greatest hits collection from an imaginary Greek instrumental band of the 60s and 70s gets my vote. That’s the back story dreamt up by Anglo Greek musician Andy Dragazis and, if this track from his imaginary band The Scantharies, is anything to go by it’ll be an oddball freakbeat classic. Air balalaika anyone?


A big slab of progressive house from Raized ByWolves next, hell, it’s the weekend. I fully intend to “lose all control” too, well as much as you can whilst watching the opening episode of Strictly Come Dancing anyway. I’m sooooo street.


Little Boots covers Bronski Beat for another one of those Ministry of Sound Uncovered albums. Surprisingly good...


This chilled out beauty from Aluna George has been playing on 6 Music for a few weeks now but I’ve no idea if it’s seeped out anywhere else. Classy...


Finally, back to the old skool with a track that I’ve been listening to again for the first time in ages...so it’s sort of new...ish. Propaganda’s Duel still sounds amazing three decades or so after its release and now the voice behind the music, Claudia Brucken, is back out on tour for the first time in a squillion years. Check local press for details! Oh right...there ain’t any is there...it’s all internet this, Arsebook that these days. Sigh...I remember when a Curly Wurly was 3p etc etc...drones on for several hours...

  1. Songwriting is a difficult process that demands talent, strong work ethic and an ability to understand basic musical concepts. While not all songwriters write the music entirely by themselves, it is useful to have a basic understanding of how music works. This will improve your working relationship with composers, as you will be able to effectively communicate your ideas and even participate in the composing process.
