A Good Polish

I went to Krakow this week. I heard lots of Owl City and R Kelly and not much Polish music.

Found this on my return though.

Anyone for re-edited and disco-fied Polish soft rock? Thought so.

Green Umm

Cometh March, cometh the sense of spring. Spring leads to summer and summer = festivals. I've been keeping tabs on the line-up for Green Man, for that be my likely destination.

It pains me to say that I'm not that psyched about it. Where as last year's fabulous festival had Animal Collective, Four Tet and Hawkwind, this year's leads with Flaming Lips, Joanna Newsom and Billy Bragg.

All artists I'm meant to like but don't actually give two figs about. Compare this to Bestival which has Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem and ROXY FUCKING MUSIC. The one act on the Green Man bill that does pique some interest is Beirut.

It must be stated that it is early days, with more acts to be confirmed and that music is only one part of the festival. So I'm hanging back for the meantime, before I unleash the ceaseless nagging to go to Bestival.

Devolution



It's St David's Day. Welsh devolution is pushed up the agenda. I'd be more in favour if it was Devo's take on devolution.

Their theory also expunges any ill-feeling I have over being slow to post about Devo's new branding and how the fans are being consulted via business newspeak. I'm simply devolving quicker than anyone.
