Death metal from Iran, easy on the death...
A band from Leeds avoided cliche, but not our Chris Watson.
We know that you can read, because you're here and as you can, you might like some of these?
Our favourite bands, things and people in one place. Quite a neat idea, really. If you should, or shouldn't be there, just let us know.
We like music. We listen to it. We write about it. We don't do favours & we don't tell lies. Contact for neither: unpeeled@tiscali.co. uk
Covers the white labelled, myspaced out, the generally unsigned and we've been listening to: Black Terror / Funeral Club / Pockets Filled With Matches / Shabby Rogue / The Hush Now / The Lucid Dream /
YOU ARE LISTENING TO:
THE LOVES
It's called "God Saves Our Souls" and it's a hellishly fine b-side on The Loves new "Sweet Sister Delia" single. It's hard to resist a redneck take on Faust.

Good evening, please fasten your prejudices and adjust the settings on your spleen for maximum discomfort, it's been a busy day...
It's almost impossible to type the words Lily and Allen without the words stupid, vacuous and spoilt skittering into the
sentence, so we shan't bother trying to keep them out, especially as Lily has just favoured us with her thoughts on
why the BBC are so wrong to pull the plug on Radio 6. Apparently it's because the BBC are scared of David
Cameron and play too much of that rubbishy pop music on Radio 1. We beg to differ. The BBC is and always has
been battered by political and laterly commercial interests and they negotiate a way through that snake pit to
deliver an unrivalled suite of programmes. If the BBC recognise that the content and remit of Radio 6 can and
should be part of Radio 1, that's a good call and one that'll offer
larger audiences to smaller acts. Of course, it'll mean
less airtime for rubbishy pop music, but that's not
why Lily is being chauffeured onto the
barricades, is it? Righto, open the door...

GORILLAZ ALBUM IS GREAT
It's strangely difficult to dislike the Jamie Oliver of rock, but mockerknee music master, Damon Albarn keeps pulling out the aces and "Plastic Beach" is a wonderfully full house.
NOT INTERACTIVE
We recently commented on whether the spunk-quiffed sulk cloud, La Roux was a suitable recipient for any kind of award with the word 'new' featuring. A reader (Alex from Lincoln) suggests that we should take a fresh listen to La Roux and find the 'hidden talent that lies behind her subtle
adaptation'. One, or
three things
immediately limp to
mind...
1: the mechanism
that hides anything
so efficiently will
make the
Invisible Man look
like a solar flare
in a coal
mine.
2: Talent is
defined as
a special
skill or
aptitude, and looking a bit miffed isn't one of them.
3: The definition
we have for
'subtle' is,
don't snigger,
"delicate, not obvious".
Case closed
