The Pixies looking back at their finest album
Lots of exciting things going on at The Sound of The Ladies towers; new recordings of old songs, the glimmerings of a new science-based EP and a sea-based album. I went to see the Pixies play the entirity of the superlative Doolittle, which was as exciting as it sounds. On Tuesday I played at Freedom of Expression in Croydon, with Liam Butler, Alan Lacroix and Superman Revenge Squad, all of whom I like very much (unusual for my jaded pallette). On the subject of classic albums, Ben Parker (the songwriting arm of Superman Revenge Squad) used to be one half of Nosferatu D2, and their debut album is getting a belated release from the fine folks at Audio Antihero records. Nosferatu D2 are a more angular and fearsome proposition than acoustic Ben Parker, but are no less excellent. Click here to buy their album and propel Ben to the TOTP appearance he’s wanted all along…
So, lots of musical irons in fires; more news as the nebulae start to coalesce into nascent suns of harmonic warmth: watch this space.

Thank you, you’re very kind
I was at that Pixies gig too. Did you see Kevin Smith? He was there on the wednesday when I went.

I didn’t see Kevin Smith, but I heard the rumours
. I think if I had seen him it would have blown my tiny mind.
Good luck with the Nosferatu D2 record – according to Ben, Los Campesinos are big fans. That should hit the preteen market…
