Quack Spout #10

Well, this is a little out of the ordinary...

Firstly this Quack Spout is 2 days early. Secondly I had previously announced that this weekend's Spout would be late. Thirdly it means that there won't be a Quack Spout next weekend.

Find out the answers to all these bafflements by listening to this:

Side Salad...

Just wanted to point your peepers in the direction of this:


You can order Hedluv's amazing debut LP 'Cosmic Sounds' from his website for only 99p. That's 99p for one of the best independent recordings of 2008, a magical, nostalgic, barmy and memorable collection of quirky Casio-rap tunes on subjects such as cars, parties, Goldeneye on the N64 and sitting in the garden.

Read my review/interview (reviewterview?) with Hedluv here: GIITTV.

And do buy the record, it's fantastic!

Side Notes...

Found out that the wonderful band Bear Driver will be playing at this September's End of the Road festival; an event I was already planning on attending. Really looking forward to the festival anyway, it was fantastic last year, and it'll be great to hear Bear Driver live, I've had their Paws and Claws EP on heavy rotation at Duckpond Studios, and, of course, playing its lead track 'No Time To Speak' on Quack Spout #3.

Also thought I'd take this opportunity to make a plug for Them Squirrels, who I played on #6, their EP 'Them Scribbles' came out a couple of weeks ago and can be ordered by clicking HERE! They've also just played their first few live dates, hopefully they'll be travelling further afield soon as I'm really curious to see how JT's sound translates to a live performance.

Saw Sam Raimi's new flick 'Drag Me To Hell' and was compelled to review it over at Battle Royale With Cheese, and I've written up a review of Animals + War's self-titled demo LP over at God is in the TV, so read that as well, please!

Have a good one.
