The Candle Thieves announce their tour...

Spotify goes social



For those that are familiar with this blog will know that I usually put up my "top 5 Spotify tunes of the week ". However, I haven't done so for the last couple weeks.

Spotify has now released a new social feature which allows you to share tracks and playlists at a touch of a button. So, this will allow you to share your tunes much more freely now.

To get a better understanding of how this feature works check out the video.

Album Review - The Candle Thieves: Sunshine and Other Misfortunes



Peterborough's pop duo Scott McEwan and Glockenshiels not only steal candles but, have just stolen over forty minutes of my life that I am never going to get back. Am I complaining? Absolutely not.

The spectacle wearing pair have just released their debut album and what an endearing effort it is. Think 'The Bird and The Bee' meets 'The Magic Numbers' . It's a massive, heap of uplifting pop, a definite well timed release for the pending summer.

There is a reoccurring theme of death, however, this is not a morbid album it's quite the opposite and with track entitled We're All Gonna Die (Have Fun). The message is simple, enjoy yourselves.

I definitely enjoyed this album and no doubt you will too. Stand out tracks are 'Sharks and Bears' and 'Catching wasps'.

This album, Sunshine and Other Misfortunes, is certainly not unique but it is bittersweet and bright and worthy of a listen.

TOTR rating: 3/5

East End Film Festival 2010


The East End Film Festival showcases hot new talent and homegrown films alongside larger independent releases and special events, informing and inspiring a new generation of filmmakers and audiences from across London and beyond, and raising the profile of this vibrant and diverse area - London’s East End.

One of the films to be premiered during the film festival is 'The Rime Of The Modern Mariner'. A new documentary film about the London Docks in the uniquely atmospheric church setting of the Hawksmoor Church of St Anne’s at Limehouse.

‘The Rime of the Modern Mariner’. directed by journalist Mark Donne and narrated by musician Carl Barat, focuses on what happened to the culture, community and folklore of the London Docks - for hundreds of years the watery capital of a maritime nation and the largest port on earth until its closure in the late 1960’s left an entire way of life sucked into a vacuum.

The Rime of the Modern Mariner will be premiered on Friday 23rd April to book tickets click here.

Lethal B - Go, Go, Go



I'm kinda feeling this tune, it has similar elements to Dizzee's bonkers and no doubt it's going to be a big summertime hit in its own right.

Hat's off to Lethal. Potential UK No.1 who know's?
