Completely off topic, fuck Grammy nominations you know you've arrived when your song is being covered (pretty well, IMO) by a giant clown in desperate need of a wee fistful of uppers.

Radio with Pictures?

Kinda, yeah. DSLR cameras have made good-quality video coverage far more accessible.

Verlaines #2 = energetic and enjoyable.

It really was splendid — and the fact that Jane Dodd in particular was having such a great time on stage just added to it. 'Lying in State' was like a jet engine.

Well clearly, we couldn't get through a week without any mention of Lorde, so here's her surprise Christmas present single, 'No Better', an out-take from Pure Heroine. I can see why they left it off — it's off on a slightly different path than the rest of the album, with…

actually... i tried to imagine myself off-guts at margarita bar in 1996, and that song easily could have popped into a playlist without my noticing.

perhaps just after wonderwall, or "me so horny".

Replace "Jesus" with acid or E. Makes for a more interesting thought pattern.

the latest Nicolas Jaar mix is dominating my attention right now – once again he creates a soundscape of found, borrowed and pre-recorded sounds that pay homage/tribute to John Lennon… its fab

A Christmas song. Unfortunately we gave our boy Joey Ramone's Ya Know (vinyl of course) last year for Christmas so this is a house earworm.

"I'm in Love with Jesus" was in the charts a couple of weeks ago. This week Arise has the follow-up single "Jesus Be Our Everything", which doesn't appear to have a video yet. It's not as catchy as "I'm in Love with Jesus", though.

It's amazing that the church is…
