What's Through The Square Window?

...MUSIC!!!

Because I care about your listening pleasure.



Remember, you don't have to strain your eyes. You can click through and go full screen!!!

Top Left: The vid for Children by Battle. I found these guys over at Good Weather For Airstrikes but Neiles Life has a broader selection of tracks. I clicked instantly with their sound but that was probably because I am hankering for some new Bloc Party.

Top Right: Richard thrust My Latest Novel's album Wolves into my hand (the working one) for me to check out and I am suitably impressed. They're Scottish so you have to compare them to Belle and Sebastian and, let's just say, they hold up well. There a great range on the album and some nifty use of instrumentation. You, them, fetch!

Bottom Left: The Crayon Fields... Glen has been in my ear about these guys' EP ever since we caught them supporting The Shins (or was it Love Outside Andromeda? I can't recall). Well, I have finally listened to there album, Animal Bells, and it is good, really good. This is a live vid from the album launch a couple of weeks back but hop over to their *cough*MySpace*cough* page for their more polished sound.

Bottom Right: Finally, Midlake, I hunted them out in preparation for Meredith this year. I eventually found their latest release in Richard's CD mountain and he graciously lent it me. Love this track. The Chinese cello puts me in mind of Yo Yo Ma's work on the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon score. I am really looking forward to catching these guys now.

My work here is done!

Glad you liked My Latest Novel - seeing them live at their debut single launch was one of the highlights of my time in Glasgow.

Love them (as you knew I would!)

Still working through the rest. Didn't go much on McLuskey; I think that time has passed for me.

Loving Mountains In The Sky, though. Actually, I think I'll beat the gong and announce my love to anyone who cares... brb

Done...

And they're playing on the 12th. Can you scam another night off?

Tee hee!

Probably not, alas, especially seeing as I want to go to the opening night of MIAF...

Which reminds me...

Wanna be my handbag for a couple of Fringe shows?
