The Wood and the Trees: Power Pop
http://swiftysteve.blogspot.com/2013/05/power-pop.html
Thursday, 16 May 2013. A short while back I was lucky enough to host the @thelostrecord Twitter account for a week and had the complete pleasure of assembling a selection of Power Pop, the genre that fuses guitars, melodies and attitude into, usually, around three minutes of compressed sunshine. From The Barracudas via Dwight Twilley and Matthew Sweet to Cheap Trick, I could (and do) live off this stuff. 19 May 2013 at 09:35. Quality articles or reviews is the crucial to invite the users.

The Wood and the Trees: November 2012
http://swiftysteve.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 November 2012. 2012 - Top 25 Tracks. H Hawkline - Black Domino Box. A bleak, darkly comic video brings this austere, wry song to deathly life. A compelling live performer Hawkline is also a member of Cate Le Bon's travelling band, cosmic folkists who trade Hawkwind guitars with Goth bucolic Welsh traditions. Solo, Hawkline takes on all comers, so talented it's frightening. EP : Black Domino Box. Craig Finn - Rented Room. Album : Clear Heart Full Eyes. Lightships - Sunlight To The Dawn. S deb...

The Wood and the Trees: July 2012
http://swiftysteve.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 19 July 2012. I've been suffering from a touch of writer's block lately, hence this first blog post in a good while. But there are gorgeous melodies and the album is beautfully produced. At three minutes 'The Gardener Waits For Winter' pauses for thought and the organ figure gives ways to a guitar, discordant piano and drums and it's like a parched stream has found it's waterfall. It opens up like a tribituary into a fast flowing river and then finishes in a cascade of random notes.

The Wood and the Trees: April 2013
http://swiftysteve.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 3 April 2013. Libertarian, free-thinker, scourge of intolerance - Voltaire embodies many of the values deemed in short supply these days. He wasn't quite the 18th Century subversive many think he was, or should have been, but there is a spunky anti-establishment feel to Leeds band The Voltaires which can only add to his reputation as one - I may edit his Wiki page and see what happens. The album can be bought as a limited edition CD or download from here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny: September 2010
http://wisdomstrengthandhope.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny. Monday, September 20, 2010. I don't think that is the way it's going to happen. I think I need to deal with them now. Partly because they are being blatantly thrown in my face this week. Hi I'm Susan and I'm an alcoholic. A SELFISH alcoholic. It is all about me right? Posted by Susan Alton. Links to this post.
