My favourite albums of 2011
Oh, it’s been a good year for music hasn’t it? Now the end draws ever nearer, what self-respecting music lover doesn’t just LOVE a good old Top-10 list?! Without further ado may I present my favourite 10 (well, 13 but what does it matter?) records. In no particular order…
Mastodon - The Hunter
No, it’s not Crack The Skye part 2, as many may have wished but The...

MumboJumbo: Tour Diary: →
alexyeoman:
It’s early Saturday evening. I’m sat down. I’m moving at approximately 70-80mph. I’m in a van. Some call it a tour bus. I’ve been travelling like this for about 8 hours now, regrettably with a couple left ahead. I’ve watched a beautiful crisp sunny and bright autumn day come and go only to be…

One final AlterThePress! Hevy Festival interview... →
I truly love this band and Jordan was a pleasure to talk to; genuine, honest and eloquent. It’s always nice when the people that you look up to really turn out to be how you always hoped they would be.

Another AlterThePress! interview here, this time... →
I loved the new TA record when I reviewed it and meeting Jeremy was a pleasure. Though his onstage persona is incredibly intense, he was polite, laid-back, softly spoken and a very interesting interviewee.

On nervousness
Due to the success of one of the musical projects that I’m currently involved in, I’ve had some pretty incredible opportunities recently. This has, however, really highlighted something about myself that I find very strange
Last week I performed live on Radio 1; approximate listeners… upwards of 3,000,000. This weekend just past I played shows in front of thousands of people at V Festival. Here’s...

Holiday Playlist
One of the few things that I actually managed to organise prior to my heading to France last week was my holiday playlist. I confess that I threw it together rather quickly and it ended up as an overly lengthy, slightly random assortment of albums (some new & some older) that I wanted to catch up on listening to. Hastily put together or not, it proved rather satisfactory and will probably...
The Price Of Idiocy!
How do you put a price on friendship? Impossible, of course. How much on idiocy? Well, just how much of an idiot are we talking about? It’s all very well playing successful shows, going out afterwards and drinking a skinful before stumbling home as the sun rises but you’ve got to keep it together, otherwise… well, where’s the excuse in that?! I blearily opened my eyes the...

A tour diary of sorts...
It’s quite amazing how much rubbish accumulates in the van over a week of riding up and down the motorways of our fair isle. As I collected up the accumulated detritus from our van floor, finding little bits and pieces from the towns and cities we had visited over the preceding days, it occured to me that I hadn’t actually written anything so, a few thoughts… Being on tour is...
