Tomorrow I go to New York.

Needless to say I am very exited, it will be my first time in America and what a place to go. We all know about New York's fine musical exports so I am planning a 6 hour New York Music Marathon to make that flight fly by.
Basically it will be The Strokes entire collection and the Interpol albums on repeat for 6 hours. IL Probably throw in some Sonic Youth and Adam Green for good measure.

So why not share this wonderful music marathon with these few gems
Interpol - Specialist
The Strokes - Someday
Adam Green - The Prince's Mine
Sonic Youth - Teenage Riot

Mexico Out Of The World Cup

I'm gutted. I was really getting into supporting Mexico this world cup and they were good As well.
That was the best match I've seen all tournament but now I guess its time to hang up the sombrero for another 4 years and support England like everyone else.

It's all good I've got some Mexican music to cheer me up.

Rodrigo y Gabriella are a pair of Mexican guitarists I saw them on Jools Holland and fell in love instantly. They are wonderful to watch, I think its safe to say I was in awe at how fast their fingers move.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun

Support your local Mexican guitarists and buy their music.

The Boy Least Likely To....

...Cover George Michael?



Well aparently not. The Boy Least Likely To have covered George Michael's Faith and you know its not half bad.
its got the usual Boy Least Likely To banjo and handclap traits with the old 80's Faith charm.


You can listen to it on their website
http://www.theboyleastlikelyto.co.uk/musicfaith.htm and read about the Boy's 80's pop experiences.
