Hey Negrita: Devil in My Shoes
It is a genuine mystery why some bands release singles, particularly when clearly they are so far from the sort of music that the single buying bracket of the public would actually listen too.
It may seem an odd follow up for Trash Aesthetics, the label that opened the eyes of the world to Bloc Party and The Rakes, to take a gamble with some country music but that's exactly what they've done.
Although not as "cutting edge" as some of those acts currently lauded by the music press, it would be futile trying to deny Ben Arthur's talent for penning crisp couplets and catchy MOR country-blues-Americana.

There seem to be five ways of buying variants and by-products of the Stereophonics recent long playing record in the current (October) release package from V2.
The Black Heart Procession: Amore del tropico
It took a couple of listens, but now I have TBHP filed comfortably in my musical catalogue of a brain cross referencing: The Pixies, Wilco, Grandaddy, and Grant Lee Buffalo.

Roger McGuinn @ City Varieties
Roger McGuinn you ask - who is he? You may well ask. This is the man who defined the sounds of the early 60s with his jingle jangle sound of the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar - a sound adopted and refined by The Beatles no less in many of their early classics (Hard Day's Night springs immediately to mind).

I thought I saw some diplomat hawking secret plans in the park I thought I saw my President walking through Harlem late after dark In a world of love where they burn like Nero You write them a check and you then add zero ...
Wrinkle Neck Mules @ New Roscoe
'Even Jesus Christ could use a little wine' Wrinkle Neck Mules: Big Dipper Have you noticed the flyover approach to Sheepscar?
Far From The Dance @ Fagins Bar (Halifax)
What makes particular pieces of art, music and literature widely deemed as 'good'? I would muse that anything's worth is determined by how unique it is.
