The Raveonettes interview on The List



I have been a bit silent on the updates recently and now I am blogging twice in one day. What is that all about? Well, I have been pretty busy working two jobs and interviewing all the bands that I can man-handle in my free time.

I got the chance to speak with one half of Swedish indie stars The Raveonettes about their new album and upcoming UK tour. Their music is pretty romantic but their song titles leave a lot to be desired.

Last Dance is an amazing song though.

Check out the interview HERE.

Four Tet Interview on The Skinny






I was lucky enough to get the chance to interview endearing electronic prodigy Keiran Hebden a.k.a. Four Tet recently. He was a really chill guy who was pretty funny when it came to discussing the way his music is perceived in the media. His new album is pretty damn sweet too.

Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness

I am loving this guy right now. Ever since I heard his collaboration with Crookers I have been hooked. When I found out he did Make Her Say with a backing track by remix golden child A-Trak the deal was sealed. These videos are amazing.

Enjoy.

Nic Dawson Kelly Interview (The List)




I am not going to lie and say that I particularly like Kelly's music. His voice grates on me a little and I think he looks a little too similar to Blake Fielder Civil in some of his press photos. However, a friend of mine works for the company that handles his PR and he asked me to get him some coverage in Scotland ahead of his appearance in Edinburgh.

This the first interview I have had published by The List so it is pretty exciting to be writing for a new publication. Let's hope I don't piss them off!

Anyone who knows me...


.. knows that I like tattoos. From time to time I will browse websites and see what other people across the world are getting and I recently stumbled upon this idiot. This guy actually got a tattoo of a woman on his leg and then got flesh implants so that she now has 3d boobs. What a tool. The joke is on him. The first time he walks into a table and smacks those stupid bumps against the edge he is going to scream like a newborn baby. That's what you get for being a moron.

We Were Promised Jetpacks Interview



Last week I got the chance to interview We Were Promised Jetpacks before their sold out show at The Borderline in London. The guys have had a great year so far with a critically acclaimed debut album and successful U.S. tour under their belts.

It is a bit of a shame that the interview is in a simple question and answer format because I don't feel that this gives a particularly accurate representation of the group. They are a nice bunch of guys who were relaxed enough to joke around and tell me a few stories from the road.

I wish you all the success in the future.

Thanks to Tilly at FatCat Records for hooking it up.
