What a pleasant bunch of Englishmen: so proud to be English, they like to hide their faces while they attack their fellow countrymen and protectors of English citizens.
Thanks to Jason Parkinson for capturing it.

Not had chance to listen to the album yet, but this is one for all you Jeff Lewis / Kimya Dawson fans.
Imagine Peace.
Imagine driving a car.
Imagine driving a car that is new, exciting and manufactured by Citroën.
Imagine driving a car promoted by assassinated founder of The Beatles, John Lennon.
Imagine no possessions.
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger.
A brotherhood of man.

I’ve been here almost two weeks now and am now preparing for home. The experience has been a rich one for me, but I can’t deny it’s been challenging too.

I’ve already been here a week. In many ways, the time has gone quickly, but in others it feels like I’ve been here much longer.

Break Machine – Street Dance.
I was eight years old when I bought this from an independent record store in Newcastle. I still own that copy and it’s still great to hear now. The trio followed up the single with Break Dance Party – another killer tune.
I love the staccato rising and falling of the synthetic bassline, along with the tom rolls that comprise the song: those fundamental features of ’80s electro. The whistled hook is rendered incidental due to its unnecessary complexity, and I can only imagine that came about when leader of the group, Keith Rodgers, was trying to explain the sequence of notes in his head to producers Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, and they said: “Let’s record that.” And thus, a pop hit was born.

Fuck off, Lily Allen!

Well done, Jay-Z.
The 44 tracks (!) that make up new album by ’90s grunge rockers, The Smashing Pumpkins (well, Baldy Billy Corgan), Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, are to be released for gradually as free downloads. Judging by these two tracks, I’m not surprised they’re free.
