Does anyone remember this short lived comic strip (1984-1988) by The Walker Brothers (Brian, Morgan, Greg, and Neal, the sons of Beetle Bailey’s Mort)? This was the height of Garfield’s popularity, and the thought of pairing these two classic, and essentially orphaned, properties must have been intriguing to King Featuures.

"After the Lights Go Out", the second song on the playlist, by the Walker Brothers, sounds like a playlist title. Unfortunately, as a playlist title, it doesn't fit this playlist at all. I very briefly considered the name Music For After the Lights Go Out until realizing how much more misleading it would be. These songs are swell, really; their titles just don't work for my grab 'n' go naming purposes...

I thought I'd posted something about this several weeks ago but it turns out I was wrong: There is a new song by Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner and some bloke from the Rascals called Miles Kane - and it is an absolute belter. Together, Turner and Kane are The Last Shadow Puppets, and they sound a bit like the Walker Brothers crossed with Arthur Lee's Love. Only, you know, good. NME readers will...

With each stroke of the brush, with each swoop of the roller, I felt like I was taking a step closer. Mental motivation being driven by the sounds that made me dream of opening up a coffee shop where people could relax with a tasty beverage and be swooned by a soundtrack that followed no particular pattern at all. The word 'random' being slightly ill-fitting, as each song revived a memory

Mono In VCF are a Tacoma based five piece fronted by Kim Miller. Miller's sultry vocals anchor the easy brilliance of the band's cinematic pop on their self-titled debut album due in February and available now digitally. Influenced by Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound, and the organic mooged out sounds of the 60's and 70's, MIVCF is Massive Attack meets Dusty In Memphis with touches of John Barry and The...
