A couple of years ago I made a conscious decision to effectively say yes to almost any interesting offer that came my way as a result of running a gimmicky music blog, and I can honestly say it was th...
Plainview: Golden/Gold Sound/Soundz 22 Aug 2013 | 02:38 pm
I was chatting Old Friend Of ANBAD, Louis Barabbas, yesterday about the touchy issue of new songs reminding listeners of older, famous ones. I reasoned that if a new song reminds me in some tangible,...
Caleb Wysor: Ultra-Über-Lo-Fi 20 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
After five years of running ANBAD, I occasionally finding myself slipping into the kind of territory I always meant to avoid. By which I mean, I sometimes realise I’m trying to convince myself out of...
MINIDRESSES – Victims, Successes 16 Aug 2013 | 02:13 am

Lapland: is/was One to Watch/to Have Watched 12 Aug 2013 | 02:43 pm

It’s always a thrill to find out that an artist I’ve covered fairly breathlessly on ANBAD is also good live; it’s more of a thrill to discover they surpass all expectations entirely. It was old ANBAD...
Carroll; Hello, Hello, It’s Good to be Back 2 Aug 2013 | 05:25 pm
Yikes, is Trip Hop finally making a comeback? It’s been threatening to for years, like a poop-covered boomerang: inevitable, horrible. I’ve been bracing for the squelch for a while. Oh, that’s not qu...
Chresus Jist: Firsties Things First 30 Jul 2013 | 03:55 pm
I popped up on Tom Robinson’s excellent BBC 6 Music Now Playing show last Sunday; the latest in a silly-string of ’media appearances’ that I’ve stumbled into over the last year or so. The fools won’t...
