This Town Needs Guns

In the first eleven seconds of the band’s creation, the ghost of Martha Nesbit entered the castle in which Tim “Supreme Perch” Collins (later changed to Time Collis, then changing his name to the more manageable Tim Collis) battled with the Metal Carp Children in the then best seller ‘Crime Minutes, Lime Sessions’ which sold out before it even went to print. He was armed with seven identical emerald scarabs and a letter signed simply “Wojtek (Soldier Bear)”. Precisely eleven nanoseconds had passed and the switch to wireless power was complete. Tim then studied the life of King Herod at the Addison Sanctuary in 1868 and then the Helen Wolfe School of Paragliding in 1909, gaining valuable valuation skills. This was to be a huge boost to the local community as he acquired a cylindrical six string piano, which he spent all of his spare time perfecting the altered-dominant scale using only a purple heat resistant container.

Add to that Stuart “PS. Don’t knock the renegades” Smith’s hand-leg co-ordination, Chris “Alien Sacrificial Dome/Shelter” Collins (later became a member of the Collis tribe of Easter Island) on a broken bassoon and James “Gayle/Haddock/Surrender” Cooper IV, backing up on session lute and the band were formed. 18 blockbusters and a chain of mince restaurants later they are BACK, and this time they mean business: MEAN BUSINESS. (Sourced from: ‘Hotpoint Dishwasher Study Guide: A-Level’ and ‘Quake 3 Arena: Ultimate Walkthrough’.)

Death From Above 1979



Death from Above 1979 were the Toronto-based duo of Jesse F. Keeler on bass/synths and Sebastien Grainger on vocals/drums. Refusing to employ a lead guitarist, they played loud synth infused noise funk, often referred to as dance punk on the drum and bass combination alone. Originally named just “Death From Above”, the duo changed their name after a legal dispute with New York City dance punk label Death From Above (known as DFA Records since the September 11, 2001 attacks). “Death from above” was written on a helicopter in the movie Apocalypse Now, which was copyrighted in 1979.

Neon Indian

This guy started off with a solo project named "VEGA" where he made some straightforward club beats. But while suffering from some sleep loss (oh dear) he wrote and recorded some songs and posted them anonymously. These then became incredibly popular and he adopted the name "neon indian" and is amazing. That is all. This is blissful 80's synth fuzz but so good you can listen to it for literally every second of every day. Just a few months ago I would never listen to stuff like this. Now i'm addicted. Neon Indian, along with other artists such as Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Memory Tapes and many more, have basically invented a genre overnight (it's called chillwave you ignorant plebs)

Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep


Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep

The first, and in my opinion best, Strokes solo album. More like the band than Julian Casablancas' album. The best songs are "Everyone Gets A Star" and "In Transit"

Yours To Keep
