MySpace Trawl – Starting Teeth
Honest, we’re not being lazy but we like the band’s biog/press release as it sums them up quite neatly without us blabbing on: “Starting Teeth is a collaboration project born between brains of electronic producers Childe Grangier & Nathan Jonson, formerly Hopen & Hrdvsion, who are Pacific and Atlantic and more than ever united in the quest of doing freely the things!!! To not do what they can do, Childe Grangier & Nathan Jonson decide to join their forces to create a recess of development for the next Century Haunted Dancefloor Twisted Legs Fighters!

MySpace Trawl – Prdctv
Arse, its 2009 and no longer can we sit around in our boxer shorts and drink Stella at 9am. Christmas and New Year have gone, at least until they're advertised in June again and every website in the world can start another annual end of year list. So we’re back doing what we fail at best – getting you to change your listening habits from New Kids On The Block to something a bit more leftfield and experimental. No manufactured toss here, just music to leave you feeling happy, distressed or in love with. Prdctv produces accessible and uncomplicated electronic music with offerings of real instrumentation for any supposed musical fans out there who despise music made on laptops.

MySpace Trawl – Stuff We Liked From 2008
Before we delve head-on in to 2009 and bring you such weird and wonderful sounds as Mexican two-step, we thought we’d chew over some of the artists we covered in 2008. You know, so they don’t get all dusty in our archives. This feature tries to bring a mix of completely brand new and unheard acts alongside those who need a bit of a push to get your attention. If we wanted to harp on about someone who's released 50 CDRs and played one gig in Crewe, we’d write for some trendy sort of fanzine with a readership of twelve. Try to contain your excitement as we give our top ten list of last year.

MySpace Trawl – Golden Silvers
Our only previous experience with gold and silver came when we watched The Crystal Maze where, at the end of the show, the contestants had to collect as many gold tokens as possible and discard the silver ones. Whilst we aren’t completely sure if Golden Silvers took their name from this concept from The Crystal Maze, we do know that they make indie music that isn’t self-indulgent twaddle about not being able to fit in to a size six pair of skinny jeans. We’ll even go as far as saying that they’ll break the mainstream in 2009.

MySpace Trawl – Lifting Gear Engineer
The bah humbugs are on us this Christmas. Rather than find the next biggest Mexican folk carol singers, we thought we’d just go and find some stuff that hasn’t got anything to do with Christmas at all. Until annoying people who knock on our door do this sort of thing, we’ll shut the door on them. Imagine ...

MySpace Trawl – Kania Tieffer
Reasons why you should all like Kania Tieffer: a) She makes music that is aggressive and bouncy, but still very friendly on the ears. b) She sings in foreign at times, making everything sound a bit more exotic. c) She is a very pretty lady and we want to do nothing but cuddle her. d) We got one of her CDs for ...

MySpace Trawl – Duran Duran Duran
Nothing amuses us more than when people take a poke at other artists and ride the boundaries of copyright. We assume that Duran Duran haven’t bothered to get in touch with Duran Duran Duran and ask for a name change yet. Probably because their heads are still up their own arses from the past successes or, in the case of Simon Le Bon, because he suspects there's some food lodged up there. A million miles away from the shiny radio-friendly pop songs that Duran Duran made, Duran Duran Duran give the impression that if any Duran Duran fans listened to them by accident, they'd quite literally make them lose their minds until their ears bled.

MySpace Trawl – Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
The further we look through MySpace, the more we come across some artists and bands that even we can’t process properly. Ever wondered what funk-inspired Portuguese gypsy folk sounds like? It hasn’t been on our list of ones to check out, but when we did, we wished we hadn’t. A band's sound is important, but so is their ethos. Do they want to be the next indie band to make it big and then disappear up their own arse? Or do they just want to make music and see where it goes? When on the hunt for some decent electro that hasn’t been used by companies to flog pencils or something, we came across Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Not only was the name epic, but so was the description of the band.
