First Kiss Lips: Guards! Guards! - That Spring

http://firstkisslips.blogspot.com/2014/12/guards-guards-that-spring.html

Thursday, 4 December 2014. Definitely one of my POP songs of the year. Guards! First single 'That Spring'. Has got all the right ingredients - lovely female vocals, big melodic synths, joy and sadness in equal measure - for the type of Pop song I love. Guards! The Pipettes, Monster Bobby) and Lisa Bouvier. Who has a ton of projects I'll now have to check out). They started out with this gorgeous melancholy slice of synthpop, 'Go Nowhere', on the Eardrums Pop. Free download, grab it! Posted by Aug Stone.

Tuesday, 2 June 2015. Linda Lewis - Do You Believe In Love? Reading about one of my favourite guitarists, John McLaughlin. The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, countless others and solo).

The A-side, 'You Turned My Bitter Into Sweet', is very good too. The Discogs page for the single. There's a new(-ish, 2014) book out about McLaughlin, 'Bathed In Lightning'.

Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Top 10 Albums Of 2014. It was a great year for music. I really made the effort to keep up with what's come out and it very much paid off. My Top 10 albums of the year are:. 10 Taylor Swift - 1989. 9 Kylie Minogue - Kiss Me Once. I bought this on Danny Rowe's suggestion and man, it does not disappoint. Lead-off track 'Into The Blue' is euphoric. 'Les Sex' is also very ace. My favourite Kylie album and one I need to spend even more time with. 7 St Vincent - St. Vincent. I was loo...

First Kiss Lips: January 2013

http://firstkisslips.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 1 January 2013. The Wolfgang Press - Chains. Happy New Year Everyone! Yesterday I was driving home and nearly lost control of the car as my mind wandered into considering what if The Wolfgang Press. Reunited in 2013 and I hit some ice on the road. I've never been big on reunion shows but Chains (from Funky Little Demons. Had just come on an old mix cd I had found. Such beautiful Pop. A perfect summer evening song, when the twilight is descending and the shadows come alive with magic.

First Kiss Lips: Robert Pollard with Doug Gillard - Tight Globes

http://firstkisslips.blogspot.com/2014/12/robert-pollard-with-doug-gillard-tight.html

Thursday, 4 December 2014. Robert Pollard with Doug Gillard - Tight Globes. If you're looking for a dose of pure ROCK N ROLL, here you go:. From Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard's 'Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department'. Glad to see GBV has played this live a lot too. Killer track. When that lead line kicks in, it just takes off skyward on a full-on Rock N Roll trip. Making me think once again that all you need is a I - IV chord progression. Posted by Aug Stone.
