Eraserhead...

Here's some pretty exciting news coming in off the grapevine. It seems that Thom Yorke (lead singer of Radiohead) has got a solo record coming out under the name The Eraser. Whether this means he will be imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger is unknown at this stage, but here's a few details to get all twitchy about.

It's out on XL Recordings (home to The Prodigy, MIA, Dizzee Rascal etc.) on July 10 (UK) / July 11 (US) and is produced by regular 'head cohort Nigel Godrich. For your dollar you get nine wholesome and totally new tracks by the name of:

The Eraser
Analyse
The Clock
Black Swan
Skip Divided
Atoms For Peace
And It Rained All Night
Harrowdown Hill
Cymbal Rush

And the good news? The buzz is that it's going to be primarily an electronic album... (bring on Kid A mk. II). Visit www.theeraser.co.uk for some bizzare animations and a lack of information (would you expect anything less?)

Welcome...

Hopefully this blog will provide a mild amount of entertainment and utterly useless trivia about the minutae of techno, electronica, breakbeat, jungle, drum & bass, hip-hop, house, and anything else music related that I or anyone else may be getting up to.

You can expect reports on any live events I might be going to, nights I might be crawling back from, grossly opinionated write-ups on the new records I've bought, warnings on music that is best avoided, and any other music related tomfoolery.

Don't worry too much about the links above, they're just a few stealthy hints at what you can expect to see from me.

First real post soon...
