Word To The Wise

It is I, LeClerc.

Few things to bring to your attention.

• BBC Radio 6 Music is almost certainly going to be canned in the near future. This is terrible news, we've just joyously brought home an internet radio and Radio 6 is pretty much all I listen to on it (and NPR of course). Is this really going to happen? Please say no.
• Iron and Wine, The New Pornographers, Phosphorescent, Cymbals Eat Guitars and Emily Loizeau have been added to the The End of The Road festival 2010 lineup. Very nice. They join loads of other great acts -see the list here.
• The new Joanna Newsom album is currently streaming on NPR.
• If you mix salad cream and tomato ketchup together you get a pretty rough but perfectly edible Seafood Sauce -betcha didn't know that?!

That is all for now.

NPR Stream Midlake and Massive Attack's Latest Albums In Full

I'm quite sure I've professed my love for NPR (National Public Radio) on this here blog many times before but I'm about to do it again, I can't stop myself.

NPR stream some of the latest album releases in FULL! How great is that? I suggest you sneak your headphones into work and block out your annoying work colleagues today with either some Midlake:

Midlake - 'The Courage Of Others' (release date Feb 2nd)

or they have Massive Attack 'Heligoland'. It's all just sitting there (digitally speaking) just waiting for your click signal to come from out of the ether:

Massive Attack - 'Heligoland' (release date Feb 8th)

Beware -although NPR love to give they also ultimately have to restore the cosmic balance by taking away so listen sooner rather than later. Massive Attack is there until Feb 9th and Midlake I think just the next couple of days.

There's loads of other great music on NPR's music pages.

NPR you just keep giving (and taking away) (but that's OK).
