Verily this is what Hell must be like. oh fuck, the sax solo from the theme to that Dudley Moore film. I want to scream no tweet can convey the full horror of my predicament - still only track seven crying shit, a romantic duet Track 13. Am anxiously going though Good Pub Guide....

AC/DC won the first Grammy of their career on Sunday night when they won the best hard rock performance award for the song "War Machine". Of course, despite being from one of biggest selling albums of 2008 they were "honored" with the award during the non-televised portion of the show, which is reserved for the "acceptable," though often lesser selling artists. AC/DC are...

Goldrapp returns with a happy, up song. Total summer radio fodder. To my ears, it's what happens when you mash up Christopher Cross's All Right with something like, as others have said, Van Halen . And the artwork? Can you imagine Alison's brief to the artist?

As you can probably tell from my previous journals, catching Brock Butler’s acoustic sets were near the top of things I wanted to see. The Rev’s final set of the weekend didn’t disappoint as he dropped one out-of-left-field cover after another including Float On by Modest Mouse, Teardrop by Massive Attack and Living Life by Daniel Johnston. Brock also performed wonderful versions...
