Ramblings...

Just a few ramblings...

Sunday I ran a marathon (my 5th overall), setting a personal best of 3:30:17. Has (for fun) been thinking about starting a running blog instead of a music blog, but it won't happen...after all; having one shitty blog on my resume is already on too many!

Has pretty much lost interest in Spleen United, but learning that they've teamed up with Sharin Foo (of The Raveonettes) to record a new version of their track Euphoria from recent album School of Euphoria obviously made me curious. The end result is (luckily) a definite improvement compared to the album version.


Found via Börneblogger...here's the new track Memories by Sambassadeur from the limited edition and double A-sided single Memories/Hearts Away which will be out on Labrador next month. Something doesn't change and doesn't  have to. Sambassadeur sounding like Sambassadeur is certainly one of those things!


The Holiday Crowd will soon release (US only?) a new 7" single on Shelflife and preordering has started. Awaiting permission to post lead track Sick Days for streaming, which I assure will give every fan of 80's inspired guitar pop goose bumps!

Depeche Mode has just announced another album and another world tour. No one will give a toss about their new album (of course some will claim that it's their best work since Violator, but since they are always doing that, we all know it's not true), but the tour will sell out in an instant. It remains beyond me why people are prepared to pay small fortunes to hear Dave Gahan shout "reach out and touch faith" for what probably is the 117th in their lives! Oh well...
