You might want to be aware that having gone on about it on and off over the last year or so we've actually joined the contributor list of excellent conglomerative blog The Art Of Noise, mostly to post the sort of gig reviews we've previously been doing for the STN Myspace blog (our slightly rejigged thoughts on Goodbooks will be going up later this week, if it's OK with Ben) but there'll probably be other bits and bobs along the way. Go over and look anyway, as the latest In The Dock has just started, arguing the toss on goth.
And while we're diverting off-spec, why not visit these fine places: The Human Knives recasts Young Knives songs as basic synth electronic versions with text to speech reader vocals; in response to Klaxons' cover of The Bouncer Kicks Like A Mule have covered Gravity's Rainbow; and hours of fun afoot with TuneGlue, a "relationship explorer" which works out the six acts most akin to the one you enter. Using this very post as a control experiment, Klaxons actually turn up in the Young Knives' audiomap with the Long Blondes, Mystery Jets, Larrikin Love, the Rakes and, oh lord, the Fratellis, while Klaxons themselves draw parallels with the good Knives, Blondes and Larrikins but also Shitdisco, Jamie T and Good Shoes.
