Can't beat a bit of Maiden every now and again... NP:

Was: Hmmm... Now:

Like their debut, this is growing on me... but slowly:

Was: Now:

Part shoegaze, part Beach Boys, all lovely...

Yeah, I agree - it's definitely not as immediate as "Ghosts", but there's some quietly beautiful about it. I listened to it on the bus last night on the way into town and it seemed to transport me into another world. Lovely.

Booo... no UK dates yet

And Bridget - yes, it was due to your review

Been announced for ATP as well so I finally get to see 'em live!

They're a great band - saw them at ATP 2 years ago, they played the first slot of the day but their dirty rock 'n roll blues blew away my hangover. NP: Take the man behind The Memory Band and co-founder of Trunk Records (Stephen Cracknell), the songwriter from Tunng (main man Sam Genders), one half of Fence Collective duo The Bicycle Thieves (Hannah Caughlin) and singer-songwriter Liam Bailey = some rather lovely folk music

MMJ @ SWSW steaming at NPR too...

I quite enjoyed the Ang Lee Hulk movie... but yeah, the dogs were shite. Not sure about this new one. Was interested when Norton was involved, but the trailer doesn't really sell it to me. The CGI does look woeful. Bring on Iron Man though - very much looking forward to that.
