Bills & Tills
Christ i've really overspent this month. And just when I thought my overdraft couldn't stretch any further I've been hit with a car insurance bill, my season ticket renewal for the mighty Chairboys (Cardiff here we come!), flight & ticket for Lowlands, and I also hear there may be a new Banksy print coming out in the next day or two. Which i'll obviously have to buy. Bugger. Oh well, at least the World Cup gives me an excuse to not leave the house for a month.
Too much time at the tills tills tills.
*IMAGINE THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH HERE*
Which *ahem* leads me to todays selections.
First up a band who by the look of it have been blogged to death already. But i've not seen 'em mentioned on any of the ones I read. So I'll ignore protocol and talk 'em up anyway.
Things you need to know about Tilly And The Wall.
1: They're signed to Moshi Moshi records. Currently standing alongside Warp as the best independent label in the UK.
2: They're from Omaha. That's in America.
3: Their percussion is done through the medium of tap dancing. Yeah. 4 Real. It's a gimmik, but it sounds good & I like it.
4: They are tapdancing somewhere near you, sometime soon (unless you are a foreigner).
TILLY AND THE WALL - FELL DOWN THE STAIRS
*IMAGINE THERE IS ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH HERE*
I've been sitting on this next one for about 2 months, assuming that it had been mentioned a lot already, and ready to take up residence in the top ten any moment now. However Zane Lowe played it on the radio on my way home this evening & said it's not out until the end of June (well.. I think it's been out quite a few times already, but that'll be the date for the chart push I imagine). So I guess that means I should slap it up before you're sick of it. There's not much I can say except that if you like dancing and basslines that empty your intestines and drums that make you rush and girls singing nonsense you are in the right area.
TILL WEST & DJ DELICIOUS - SAME MAN
I will furnish you with more details very shortly, but to give you some (not very) advanced warning you should be ready to descend on Dalston on Tuesday 23rd of May for some fun and good times. Yeah it's a Tuesday, but what else are you gonna do on a Tuesday. Eh?
