We really don't know what the world is tuned in to. Maybe that limits us as an information service. We are trying to focus in parts on new music, introduce you perhaps to bands you might not know. To be fair, apart from people who are here because of our previous incarnations (Jenni, we hardly knew thee), anyone who finds this place probably knows ( Read more... )

In keeping with the tradition of search engines as we are here, we've set one up for our Twenty. So now you and your band can see how many times we've showered love over you and your inbred bunch of knuckle-draggers. Out in front at the moment seem to be This Et Al, somewhat unsurprisingly, with 26, followed by ¡Forward, Russia! with a similarly ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 16th July 2006This week has been a strange one. For some reason there's not been much music listened to but at the same time we did bring together the old team to do some Unlixes Plays Records (for all of half an hour) in a dingy basement somewhere. Plus we're starting to get a few more promos through the door which gives us something ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 14th May 2006I am genuinely less than impressed with how high the percent of indie music is in my charts at the moment. I blame a lack of money and the difficulty in finding leftfield and grime in convenient sources at decent prices. Mostly, though, to be honest, it's just the lack of money. How disappointing. However, don't let that ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 7th May 2006A good week this week. What makes Twenty Songs difficult is that we listen to loads of music but with a random playlist you might hear something you love then not hear it again all week. Which is why it's usually only new stuff that gets in. This week, though, our music listening has been pretty concentrated. A few bursts ( Read more... )

Today through the door, then, a few goodies. A few not so goodies too, mind, so we'll start with them. Start with them and the fact I've got no idea what possessed me to buy The Playwright's album. Their song on the Public Service Broadcast compilation was okay but not great and certainly not one of the better. So, yeah, not sure what that was ( Read more... )

I posted this to the wrong journal, like a spanner. So here it is again, from Thursday ( Read more... )

Great music is, quite literally, fantastic, isn't it? Strange though it seems we can forget that at times, even here at Unlixes Incorporated. Being such ceaseless devotees to new kicks all through the night we overlook, very briefly, every now and then, how blinkin' great music can be. We'll listen to Levelload or Good Shoes or Boy Kill Boy and go ( Read more... )

Twenty Songs, 12th March 2006Been another weird week. Concentration here has mostly been on things other than music which means while there was a wee bit of music incoming there hasn't been as concerted an effort to absort it as there perhaps is at other times. To that end pretty much none of this weeks actual additions made it to the list. Indeed ( Read more... )

Oh. Just in case I seem unnecessarily slating and Down With Small Music in that last post, I wish The Cutters all the success in the world. Just, by success, I mean I hope they evolve into a good, forward thinking band and then go on to get the recognition they therefore deserve. Not. I hope their completely risk free brand of songwriting gets them ( Read more... )
