Okay, alright, September is fine. But October…
October is the month of witches. And this witch, born in October, is writing the cover story for the October issue of Shindig.
September may win at songs (Big Star, etc) but October’s ambience is unmatched.

It just doesn’t feel right, summer returning with Brian Wilson gone.

It just doesn’t feel right, summer returning with Brian Wilson gone.
How does one even try to put into words what he was, what he did and what he meant, the waves he put into motion.
Brian Wilson brought so much harmony to a cacophonous world. The music was all in his head. It’s everywhere now, but today you can’t help but notice how the sunshine dims.

The new issue of Shindig is out now, featuring my Stereolab cover story.
Thanks to Sean O'Hagan and Morgane Lhote for helping me trace the roots of the Groop and to Laetitia Sadier and Tim Gane for guiding me through Stereolab’s splendid new album.

Just got my copy of Louder Than You Think: a Lo-fi History of Gary Young & Pavement on exquisitely packaged Blu-Ray.
Inside, one of the best music docs in recent years plus a whole lot of extras including me in conversation with two gents who made some of my favourite music.

Whoo-hoo - the new issue of Shindig is out now!
(Sorry, I still *don’t get* The Who and felt like I should distract you and me both with a very simple-minded pun)
Anyhoo. I interview Cosmic Crooner, who has just released the ultimate summer record (fittingly titled European Vacation).

I’m in the legendary Maida Vale studios, next to Delia Derbyshire’s favourite lampshade, talking to Mark Ayres about a new collaboration between BBC Studios and Spitfire Audio (BBC Radiophonic Workshop archives available now for the first time to sample)

Happy release day to this gem. If you like the idea of one of the original US 90s shoegaze/dream pop groups fully embracing their love of Blighty’s finest 60s melody-driven folk and baroque pop…you’re in for a treat.

You’ll hear about what happened last night for a long time. “Kim Deal at the Barbican” will be one of those classic phrases music heads utter when they’re getting serious. Being in the room as it was all happening was nothing short of a privilege.

You can say a lot about Bill Fay’s music by just quoting the titles of his songs and records.
Filled With Wonder Once Again
Life Is People
All Must Have a Dream
Come a Day
Be Not So Fearful
Love Will Remain
Still Some Light
Be at Peace with Yourself
Fill This World with Peace

I pen a long piece on Hauntology, trying to define the undefinable with help from William Burns (whose brilliant book Ghost of an Idea is published next month), Jonny Trunk, João Branco Kyron and Alan Gubby.

Meet Cooper. We’re keeping up with our tradition of naming canine family members after favourite TV characters. Right now he’s shy and frightened by so many new things, but I’m sure he’ll start asking for some cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee soon.
Welcome home, Cooper.
