		<description><![CDATA[http://www.myspace.com/burntisland I never went to BurntIsland when I was young. I lived near it, though, in Aberdour, a tiny little village just along the Scots coastline from the place. I was aware of it. In my mind, Burnt Island was a romantic name, a strange place just out of the orbit of my child&#8217;s world. [...]

Honest. You know what, though- weddings are actually fairly bland affairs. The whole point of them is their normality. &#8216;Ah yes,&#8217; you say to yourself as the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Lady Gaga&#8217;s been mildly amusing every now and then. I think there was a point in time when I quite liked her, though I was suspicious of the way her early releases and videos seemed to be rather deliberate syntheses of whatever was popular. I wasn&#8217;t convinced, though, and as time went on I found [...]

The band is Xiu Xiu (which is apparently Japanese for &#8216;There, There&#8217;), and the video is for their [...]

		<description><![CDATA[And here&#8217;s another &#8216;A and B&#8217; band, fresh from the wilds of Scotland- the Moth and The Mirror. They&#8217;re a five-piece, and feature the sort of folk-tinged indie pop that&#8217;s become popular since the days of Idlewild and Travis- a bit of crunchy indie guitar here, some impassioned Scottish vocals there, a little bit of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a Sparrow: Here&#8217;s a Workshop: Two very disparate things, you might think. I would think so, too, but apparently if you combine the two of them you get a sound like a sort of Country and Western desperation. Or so this Glasgow-based three-piece think, anyway. I&#8217;m not going to whinge about terrible band names, [...]

A pop musician, albeit a rather strange one His name is John O, and he looks like a pipe-cleaner model of Billy Corgan caught fooling around in Grace Jones&#8217; make-up cabinet.

		<description><![CDATA[I like the 80s. They were an interesting time for music. Innovative and creative bands were forging ahead in a post-punk landscape, ripping up the rule book and starting again (thanks, Edwyn Collins!), and creating bold and strange new music in the bleak wastelands of Thatcher&#8217;s Britain, and for that matter Reagan&#8217;s America. Sure, the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Charity records are, by and large, arse. They&#8217;re written in a hurry, and are full of over-wrought musical clichés and tortuous, more-virtuous-than-though lyrics which are designed to try and wring out the maximum amount of cash for whatever worthy concern it is. The other problem, of course, is the ridiculous circling of egos that you [...]
