A six-track mini LP by a Harrogate based band and a very pleasant surprise. The first few notes of opener 'Those Amazing Persians' took me instantly back to the late 70s, with post-punk plucking then five minutes into the future with harmonies and wordplay like the Fleet Foxes have learnt a new trick or two.

Ah, how I love Mine with its alluring red leather sofas and twizzly stools. I've only settled in twenty minutes before the dashing Lucky Jim claims the stage as his own playing songs which tell of experiences deeper than we unsuspecting punters could ever imagine and to which said venue doesn't do justice.

CD Review: Ali Whitton - Kisses/Curses
"What is love except a way to lose a friend? What is life except a means to an end? What are you except a reason for me to show a little hope?" Okay, okay, so I'm an over-emotional little soul; therefore, I will automatically take under my wing any waif-like 'singer-songwriter' (there are those heinous words again) with a tear stirring behind their eye and a pitiful rip in their denims, no matter if they're good, middling, or, quite frankly, rubbish, out-of-tune whine-bags.

Live Review: i concur + The Pattern Theory + Rotary Ten + Mickey Charbagz + Peter Wright
There's a strong sociable ambience at tonight's EP launch for i concur. The whole evening is endearingly informal - partly a product of the choice of venue, but most importantly of the obvious musical friendships between groups.

CD Review: Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
"They send you off to hell in gasoline drawers and say 'Hey, while you're there, could you bring me back a chicken chow mein?'" Not one of mine, sadly, but of the eminently quotable Tom Waits.

Live Review: Tom McRae + Ali Whitton
On an evening as hot as this, being stuck in a bustling gig is not a hugely appealing prospect. Passing out from over-heating - which, as soon as you walk in to the Cockpit, does seem likely or even perhaps inevitable - really doesn't strike me as much fun either, but this gig is certainly one worth suffering for.

CD Review: Shaun T Hunter - Flying Not Falling
Shaun T Hunter may not be a name familiar to a great many people in Leeds, but whilst other artists' rise has been meteoric, Shaun T Hunter has quietly been plugging away crafting charming albums of simplicity and understatement.

CD Review: Nick Hall - The Golden Time
I always deem it wise to respect an artist's decision to go solo (rather than ask questions) and especially those who then decide to produce a solo album, all that despair, loss; love and heartbreak in one album must surely be an intense experience to put yourself through?

CD Review: Beneath Augusta - Mellonova 00-03

CD Review: Shatner - Energise
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.
