Today Alan McGee turns 48. For the ones who don’t have the faintest idea of who he is and what he did for the music history (and for my oowwld good times, i.e. the 90s) to deserve this post.. you can rely on wikipedia, as usual.
However.. he was the founder of.. er.. Creation Records
If you’re me, anyway. Au, one of the (many) bands with whom I’ve been obsessed for the last four or five months (with particular fervour in the past few weeks), has made a kick-ass music video for their second most kick-ass song. Check it:
Au - “RR Vs. D”
Before I was the music nerd I am today, I was a different kind of music nerd entirely. That’s right, I was a choir girl. I’m not talking about church or school choir, oh no.

That said, I’m posting this completely music un-related video, […]
This video dates back to.. uh, June. But I happened to see it for the first time only yesterday. And it’s so clever, creative and intriguing.
Mmm.. yes, I think it satisfies PTBJ’s aesthetic standards.
Here it goes.
BPA feat. David Byrne and Dizzie Rascal - Toe Jam
(ps.: BPA = Brighton Port Authority = Fat Boy Slim)
Some nights ago I saw this on MTV Italy:
Friendly Fires - Jump in the pool (Sept 08)
and soon it reached #1 in my “oh! I do love it when a song gives my heart a lift” playlist.
To be honest.. at first I thought they were Klaxons.
No, they are Friendly Fires, they’re
So a while back Sergio posted this:
This is the peak of music. It’s all down hill from here.
Returning from my respite, I have but one purpose: to extol the virtues of the exultant Destroyer. I don’t know how familiar with Destroyer you may be, but if you will forgive me to assume your ignorance I can describe it thusly.
