Antony & The Johnsons - Shake That Devil [mp3]
I can't say I'm an Antony & the Johnsons fan but Shake That Devil shows some qualities that I failed to see before. It might be Antony's involvement with other bands that has got me enjoying his voice a little more. Regardless, I thought I would share this track from his forth-coming Another World EP.

Why can't Supergrass find the love in North America?
Is it just me or does Supergrass seem to be sadly under-rated over here? I've been enjoying every one of their albums and yes, they have had 6 albums out now. Life On Other Planets was really a groundbreaking album for the band and Road to Rouen just kept them going on that path. I've [...]
