just woke up, and that layout looked hella disgusting. wow. you don't even want to know what it was. usually my judgment is best in the early hours, but it appears this was a...rare miss.
not sure if he's been covered by any other blogs, but i was really taken by kid harpoon. i'm afraid i'm going to have to direct you to his myspace page for some downloads - sorry about that. i don't know about you, but that place makes me feel a little ill...all the sticky floors and second hand smoke. make sure you listen to the colours demo, it's got some really chilling segments in it, where his voice matches the guitar perfectly. as well as downloading the others. its one of those artists that makes you think 'yeh, yeh, i can write a fucking song!' that's the kind of stuff i need at the moment, and i hope you do too.
this diane cluck song is all kinds of flawless. i love the way her voice overlaps itself in a way that, while not necessarily 'new' as such, always sends chills down my spine. especially when the voice and lyrics are as good as this.
this is probably my favourite of the tracks i'm posting today. there seems to be a feud on whether its dianne or diane, so i'm going to just go crazy and put one n. even if her name was double n, i'm sure she'll change it now. just for me.
diane cluck - easy to be around
by the way, all this stuff keeps being describes as anti-folk...even by some of the artists in the scene, which is kind of abnormal in terms of the way labels and genres opperate. i'm not really sure what it means, but if you're into that, make sure you get these guys.
last one is lupen crook, who we can probably go ahead and lump in the same bag. sorry, i have had little sleep - i'll be a lot less contrived in the future. anyway, he apparently comes from Victa, in the south east of england...which could be described as the same section i'm living in, but i've never heard of the place. i doubt i can even spell geography.
ok, so let's go ahead and say that lupen reminds me a little of an english, more lo-fi page france. there we are, how's that for your comparison table? i'll say no more, and just let you rip that parallel apart. go for it. make my day.
lupen crook - exactly ? the planet
(i'm not entirely sure what that question mark is going for)
lupen crook - urban fox hunting
that's a good idea, mike - start a new blog just as you start revision. maybe it will last only as long as your exam period, maybe it will keep on after that, maybe it'll lower your grades with the infinite distraction. whatever it does, i hope it doesn't continue to nurture this third-person-reference thing.
