The Like – Wishing He Was Dead
The last single went down well on this site, so here's the new single from The Like – Wishing He Was Dead. Interestingly, the band seem to have got a lot of mainstream coverage of late, so this 60s-style pop single could make a dent in the charts when it […]

Beginners Guide To Rhythm N Blues
Interesting 'budget' box set coming out, going by the title of Beginners Guide To Rhythm N Blues. It's on the Nascente label, which is part of the Demon group, which itself seems to specialise in budget collections covering eras or genres. Easy to be sniffy about this one, but on […]
