Unwashed Territories: December 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 December 2014. Best Albums of 2014: 1. Dude Incredible - Shellac (Touch and Go). Thanks for following this run-down. Don't forget though that the only end of year chart that really counts is the official festive fifty and that can be heard from midnight on Xmas Eve (UK time) at www.dandelionradio.com. With repeat broadcasts throughout the rest of the year and during January. Links to this post. Monday, 22 December 2014. This is certainly true of Urge for Offal. Links to this post. Best Albums...

Unwashed Territories: October 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 October 2014. Katie Gately/Tlaotlon - Fat Cat Split Series #23. For the penultimate instalment in their Split 12" Series, Fat Cat dig out one of the most astonishing releases of 2014, bringing together LA-based sound artiste Katie Gately and antipodean electronic manipulator Tlaotlon in an intoxicating marriage of musical ideas. Last year, Katie wowed us all with her extraordinary ‘Pipes’ release on Blue Tapes'. She’s on similarly fine form here. Gately’s tunes can. Tlaotlon offer music of ...

Unwashed Territories: August 2014

Monday, 18 August 2014. Green Man 2014: Unsurprisingly Good. I've got a guy to the left of me in a Crass t-shirt and an elderly woman to my right doing some knitting. In front of me is a young girl with multi-coloured hair and her bespectacled and be-anoraked boyfriend. All are nodding away to the music while thirty or so people sway and occasionally groove as they queue good-naturedly at the Hippy Chippy van. You couldn't be anywhere else but the Green Man festival. Despite the cosiness demanded by too ...

Unwashed Territories: Best Albums of 2014: 2. Urge for Offal - Half Man Half Biscuit (Probe Plus)
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-albums-of-2014-2-urge-for-offal.html
Monday, 22 December 2014. Best Albums of 2014: 2. Urge for Offal - Half Man Half Biscuit (Probe Plus). This is certainly true of Urge for Offal. Where the references are more obscure and oblique than ever at times and where no musical idea is sacrificed for a laugh. One of the many great things about this band is that they've never done that, but now they're not doing it better than ever. Labels: Half Man Half Biscuit. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Unwashed Territories: January 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 19 January 2014. Gyratory System - Utility Music. Previous Gyratory System albums have certainly received their share of acclaim but this, the third from the London-based three piece, may well be their best yet. It's one of those releases that renders attempts at classification almost distastefully crude, which is why so many attempts to describe it end up taking in a curiously wide spectrum of references, from krautrock to jazz to psychedelic to electronica and all the way back again. Although a...

Unwashed Territories: November 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 November 2014. Top Forty Albums of 2014: 30-26. Fuck Off - Good Throb. Before I continue, just a reminder that today is your last chance to cast your vote in the official Festive Fifty at. While you're considering that, here's the third instalment in my annual countdown of the year's best albums:. 30 Crisis-BSP - J CNNR (Tres Catorce). From Spain, an old favourite who's been away and come back with a massive electronic bang. 29 Lands - Piano Chat (Kythibong). 25-21 coming very soon. Crushingly...

Unwashed Territories: March 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 March 2014. Return to Hungary: Another Overview of the Magyar Punk Scene. Last spring I gave a bit of an overview of some of my favourite things happening in the Hungarian music scene which, at that time, seemed to be more active in terms of exciting guitar-based music than any other country in the world. I'm pleased to say that, almost a year on, things don't appear to have died down at all and my March Dandelion Radio. I'll start with another mention for Amstatten Bedroom Punk. EP is, as far...

Unwashed Territories: Best Albums of 2014: 4. Blue Thirteen - Huerequeque & Threes and Will (Blue Tapes)
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-albums-of-2014-1-blue-thirteen.html
Saturday, 20 December 2014. Best Albums of 2014: 4. Blue Thirteen - Huerequeque and Threes and Will (Blue Tapes). This pushed them even further up, a torrent of spectacular noise that manages to be abrasive and yet contain enough subtle manipulations to crank itself up into new areas when you'd begun to suspect there was nowhere else it could possibly find to go. An astonishing release from two astonishing bands on an astonishing label. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). History of the Chart 1976-2014.

Unwashed Territories: April 2014
http://unwashedterritories.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 April 2014. I've written about derTANZ before. On the one hand, they're one of many Budapest bands who are doing remarkable things with a broad punk mindset at the moment. On the other, they're completely different from any of the other groups from that city that have been getting airplay on my Dandelion Radio. Show over the past couple of years. Album ably showcased their unique aesthetic, and now Vatta. Has come along to show us more. Has bravely chosen to build on and extend the template ...
