MySpace Trawl – Mates Of State

by Matthew Laidlow

Ever get the feeling you’re missing out or are simply excluded from the awesome stuff that’s going on? While all your mates are hanging out together after school, all you do is pick your nose, ear and arse and work out what flavours taste the best. Mates Of State have some pretty awesome friends who [...]

MySpace Trawl – Jonsi & Alex

by Matthew Laidlow

We may have gotten mixed up a bit this week. You see, Jonsi is the frontman of Sigur Ros. However, alongside his boyfriend Alex they both create art together under the name Riceboy Sleeps. Riceboy Sleeps also happens to be the title of the debut album from the duo who record under the name Jonsi [...]

MySpace Trawl – The Sound Of Arrows

by Matthew Laidlow

Wooooooooosh, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw and hawoooooooooo are the normal sounds that an arrow makes. When it’s travelling at say 80 or 90 miles per hour, you don’t normally get to appreciate its creative output. Instead, you’ll just hear a small crack as the arrow pierces the skull, followed by the noise of blood draining from the brain. [...]

MySpace Trawl – The Candle Thieves

by Matthew Laidlow

Christ almighty, summer has been a bit rubbish hasn’t it? We’d gathered up all our pennies from the winter months to throw at the ice-cream man, but we can’t because Mr Sunshine has decided to stick two fingers up at us and bugger off. It means we can’t don our Speedos and make ourselves toasty [...]

MySpace Trawl – Polly Scattergood

by Matthew Laidlow

On Tuesday, the nominees will be announced for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize. Last year, the ruddy fantastic Elbow took home the prize, beating artists such as Radiohead and Burial. But that was then, this is now! Every year, there are a few nominations that no-one will be surprised to see – we expect Lily [...]

MySpace Trawl – Cooh

by Matthew Laidlow

Sometimes, you can a little bit attached to something and talk about it a little bit too much. Take the humble iPod for example. It doesn’t matter if it is actually an iPod or not, everyone calls their MP3 player an iPod. Even though it’s a £50 knock off from Tesco. The same can be [...]

MySpace Trawl – Product.01

by Matthew Laidlow

We’re not going to lie. Thanks to someone leaving the heating on, the UK has rocketed up in terms of temperature, leaving us hot, sticky and dressed in our underpants. As we write this, our sweat-soaked bodies are stuck to the leather office chairs and as we slept this afternoon, a lolly stick may have [...]

MySpace Trawl – Please Stop Sending Us Crap Messages

by Matthew Laidlow

In all of the years we’ve been hacking away through the silly amounts of artists on MySpace, we’ve done so on our own. Well most on are done on our own, sometimes during a late night radio listen we’ll pick up on groovy records locked away in the grim dark of the night. Amazingly, this [...]

MySpace Trawl – Japanese Pop Songs

by Matthew Laidlow

Certain bands have different means of thinking when it comes to making music. Your friendly neighbourhood death metal will want you to rock out when they’re not baking cookies. And of course, we can stereotype all day long when we assume all reggae fans will listen to their Bob Marley 12”’s while dreadlocking up their [...]

MySpace Trawl – Flunk

by Matthew Laidlow

As we’re on a mission to try and bring you pop music from around the world, it only seemed suitable to trawl through Norway. After being crowned the winners of Eurovision 2009, it only seemed right to see what else they have to offer us. Surely the country has better stuff then Alexander Rybak? Norway’s [...]
