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.
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.

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
A band from Leeds avoided cliche, but not our Chris Watson.
DRUG FUGGLED WRINKLIES SPANK CORPORATE BOTTY!
It's true. Pink Floyd have sued EMI and won. The bad men at EMI have been selling downloads of individual Pink Floyd tracks and the good guys of Pink Floyd have pointed out that this breaches their contract with EMI who promised to only release the albums whole. Apparently, this protects the artistic integrity of concept albums like "The Wall". Only one thing is puzzling us, seeing as "Another Brick In The Wall Pt2" was released as a single in 1979, why did Pink
Floyd wait 31 years before launching their action?

FRANK BLACK ON FAR AWAY BEACH WITH PINEAPPLE, ENO ON STANDBY...
You're culturally hip, cool and unlikely to look puzzled when some old person mentions The Ramones, so you'll be the first to recognise how right Double U get everything on the frankly dreamy "Pineapple Dream" album. It is, you can hear here, a lovely something steering an elegant wobble between the stools reserved for Frank Black, Eno, 2NU, 10CC and Death In Vegas if you believe in "Eh Bro". Love them, them now and love them hard.

WE ARE DETECTIVES, COME TO DETECT
It's nice to be nice and the good people at Playground pr are always so enthusiastic and professional that this is a little like kicking a toddler in the teeth, but we love kicking toddlers in their fat, complacent teeth, so here we go... Rubricks are attracting press attention because Playground are good at what they do. Rubricks are also very good at what they do. This seems to be mainly recycling eighties electro-lounge-lazy that no one went all that nuts for the first time around. If you want a Thompson Twins b-side played at you a bit faster, with added sneers and fake boredom, then Rubricks could be the brand for you. Now, unwrap me a fresh crate of toothy toddlers.

JESUS MAKES THE SHOTGUN SOUND
Not just a neat idea, but the name of a very loud band who are leaving Los Angeles to unload some extreme noise at SXSW. They're not at all like Pink Floyd, but it's quite easy to see them getting into fight with EMI. Click this and take care.

IT'S PROBABLY NAZI BEATS & FEATHERS, BUT WE FANCIED IT...
And who can blame us? the news-ping says "As part of Cosey Complex the ICA hosts Cosey Club, a club night that takes inspiration from the working methods and identity of Cosey Fanni Tutti. The event will feature performances and DJ sets, including the post-punk of Factory Floor, electronic supergroup Fixmer/McCarthy and pioneering DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall." It's got fun written through it like a stick of ironic rock and we'll be the ones in jackboots and feather waistcoats, oh yes.

NORWAY IS HAUNTED Pt 27,590,471
Solvor Vermeer is Norwegian and her music is haunted and haunting and beautiful and we only know this because her UK label chased a review of the new ep that we can't find find, so we took a hit on the guilt tit and hit her myshite page and wow. That's a quiet, appreciative "I can't believe someone with such a stupid scarf could make such powerfully delicate music" kind of wow. Lend an ear here.
