Dust Coated Departure; a pleasant little EP from the miserable.noise.club. I particularly like track three and, as Bandcamp seem to be offering it for free, I have taken an Apple Lossless copy of the entire thing.

A very long time ago one of Warren Ellis’ newsletters used to contain a section where he’d link out to new and interesting little things like this and I’d find a whole bunch of interesting things that way. Unfortunately, that seems to have fallen by the wayside and, horror of horrors, these days I actually have to look for new stuff!

Another day, another ear-worm. This time it’s Prefab Sprout’s irritating catchy ditty The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

I suspect I picked this particular ear-worm up during a repeat viewing of Top of the Pops ‘88 on BBC 4. The body of the song isn’t much to write home about (late 80’s synthy with a slight edge to the lyrics) but oh! the chorus, that bloody chorus… It’s not left me alone for days…

‘Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque…’

Oasis covering Slade’s ‘Cum On Feel the Noize”. I think it works rather well.

New earworm.
