Watch out for new mixes placing the likes of Queen, Bloc Party, Depeche Mode, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Oasis into our corrupt caldron for fusions that will knock your BLOC off.

Geddit. Bloc Party. Knock your Bloc. Eh? Eh?

Oh forget it.

Check out our new music player. We have some nine songs on the players, when you click on the songs button. You can choose which mix you want to hear. Includes our newly tampered Bleeding Crazy Love mix ft (THE VOICE) Leona Lewis and Gnarls Barkley and Wrote For Sure Shot ft Beastie Boys and the glorious Happy Mondays.

Remember, we don't do genre, so don't expect us to be politically correct, okay.


On this interactive blog we will be presenting the stuff out there that's floating my boat and that you should get your ears around. And giving you the chance to too. How good am I . Just click on the You Tube to get the vid and tune.



It goes by the name of... TUNES TO CATCH NOW.


First up is Fleet Foxes. Straight out of nowhere, this fresh sounding bunch have come up with one of the most infectious spacey song of the year with White Winter Hymnal. It sound retro ala Beach Boys but oooh those harmonies. I might even give in the SeXDwArF mix treatment. God help them!




Next up is Future of the Left's quiry brainf...Manchasm. This is a gorgeous slice of guitar/synth mania. Whose heard of em? Pretty much nobody. Which is why they are playing some not very well known festival in Gloucestershire, England around now. Should be massivo!

Future of the Left consist of singer/guitarist Andy "Falco" Falkous and drummer Jack Egglestone, both previously of little known generally speaking Cardiff band Mclusky. Catch McLusky's 2002's awesome To Hell with Good Intentions.


Now my three-month old son Josh loves this next tune. His eyes kind of light up and he is transfixed which is more than can be said for the crying he does when the other half puts on anything by Whitney or Britney or Shitney or Fitney or anyone ending in itney. Good taste for a SeXDwArF junior.

It's Hadouken's rave rocking Crank It Up. I had to rewind this for him. I think it may be the changing lights he likes. But I'm convinced there is something to this.


Next up is a tune that's been kicking around for a while and is not unfamiliar in the UK that may not be so widely known, I don't know. But my evil mind is conjuring a mix of this. It's Flux by Bloc Party. After the slovenly second album Weekend in the City this places the band back in the land of invention moulding a shuddering electro thump to the trademark jangle. Love it. Although methinks the guitarist is not too happy.


Also not so new but being played on repeat at the moment is Kasabian's glorious indie anthem LSF. Truly wonderful and another that is ready for the choppy pasty SeXDwArF treatment. Eventually.


Okay back to new stuff. Check the might Portishead's awesomely haunting Threads. Creepy and warped. Love it. One of the greatest bands there has ever been.


And having just seen Radiohead do their 'greatest guitar band around now' thing in Glasgow – and i'm not arguing - there are two tunes that have to be heard that come from the voice of Thom Yorke.

Firstly the stunning Reckoner one of many standout tracks from what I think is the best Radiohead album – yes greater than OK Computer.

Then there's the ridiculously ignored Thom Yorke solo album the Eraser and what I think is one of the best songs ever to be recorded by the Oxford weirdo. It's called Analyse. Here's the stripped down version. Piano and Yorke. That's it. No more. Be prepared for a SeXDwArF mix soon.


Then one of our favourite not well heard of bands of the moment going by the glorious name of Holy Fuck. This like Chemical Brothers with a spanner in the works. Check out this performance of the stupidly titled Lovely Allen.


Now for a Brighton band who are just too cool and f..ing wonderful to be true. They are called Blood Red Shoes. Ridiculously young and sex and this epic I Wish I Was Someone Better oozes class. B...ds for being so good.


Now for mental guitars and the finest riff of the year from Cancer Bats' Hail Destroyer.

Touring with Gallows and no wonder. Full on screamo but check out the riffs. It's in the riff, it's in the riff I tell you. Mwwwwaaaar!


Sticking with animals we have elephants this time. The sort that sound like Beck. When he was good. So we are talkin New Pollution era, right? Okay, then ears on alert for Cage The Elephant and Ain't No Rest For the Wicked. This is groovy and clever, right?


Okay that's enough for the moment.

There will be more to come... oh yes... there will be more.
