Or perhaps it does mean 'Punks who are not dead'. That would work. Sorry. It has been a long week.t

That SXSW contract has the whiff of government about it. In the present US environment I'm sure that immigration has sent the directive to keep their immigrant workers legal.

That piano/keyboard riff in Green Light feels very familiar – tugging at some memory of a National FIlm Unit doco from last century or similar, or perhaps just a mammalian-brain-friendly sequence of frequencies...
...it does get in, though!

I'm hearing Kate Bush in the chorus. But yes, Out of the Woods. And that's a good thing.

I think I prefer Lorde's Green Light song more than the video. I can relate to it more.

Ditto. The song is good.

I keep an eye on SXSW and I do wonder if it hasn't completely jumped its shark.

Also on Sat April 8, but in a regular venue, not a forest... Punk It Up...

Just hope the new Lorde video doesn't encourage more young folk to lean dangerously out of the windows of moving vehicles...

I'm reassured to hear that I wasn't the only one hearing Taylor Swift in there, although I couldn't pin down exactly what it was.

I'm also reassured that, while Lorde has clearly developed musically, she's still keen on teeth.

:'-(

At least I have a single to download when I get home.

And the Lorde release is pretty good – not a great house fan myself, but it's cool she can do a dancy tune.

More records released on Lorde Day:

Grayson Gilmour's rather delightful new song 'Hundred Waters'.

And Pitch Black's single of 'It's the Future Knocking', with remixes by International Observer, Alpha Steppa and Deep Fried Dub.

Seriously looking forward to that Pitch Black show tonight ...

I enjoyed that Rodigan extract last night and will cop the book when it comes out – from a few things I’ve read it seems not all has always been full peace & love in Rodigan’s world of reggae, which seems to parallel Jamaica & the genre in general I guess –…
