The Glitch Mob

Monday, October 12, 2009

And welcome to the post where I disclose the best and most exciting dance music I have heard all year. And I fully understand that this is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea and that any claim to have discovered the best of anything at any time is fraught with danger and division, [...]

Ladies of the Dancehall

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

I was wondering whether or not to try and include some form of dancehall spelling in the above title, but I figured that this post is going to make me look horrifically white and totally out of my depth as is, so the last thing I needed to be doing was trying to spell ‘Ladies’ [...]

Coralcola

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

I’m going to keep this short and sweet, much like the email that delivered it to us.

The Bag Raiders’ Shooting Stars Tour

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Hold up the crazy train and lock up your pets and the fragile elderly, because the Bag Raiders are coming and they are a, um, menace to, uh, pets… and the fragile elderly…
When I began that sentence I thought that I’d come up with a better way to finish it. I really did.
Sigh.
