New Track by PJ

By No More Workhorse on December 1, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Miss Harvey returns, with another album on the way which will be her 8th. Where do the years go. See what you think. The album is released in February, so not that […]

ATP Preview – Scout Niblett

By No More Workhorse on December 1, 2010 • ( 3 Comments )

Looking out at the flurry of snow and the variety of weather warnings, I’m quite worried that all this ATP Previewing might be for nothing. My flight is on Friday morning, if […]

The National and Sufjan

By No More Workhorse on November 30, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Sufjan was on stage with the National last night in London. I wonder will he make it as far as Dublin? Probably not. He doesn’t get hugely involved to be honest, he […]

Comic Piracy

By No More Workhorse on November 30, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Something I never really realised was a problem is downloading of comic books. After a quick look on all downloaders main tool, google, I realised just how easy it is! Here’s some […]

ATP Preview – Mike Watt and the Missing Men

By No More Workhorse on November 30, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Mike Watt is another one of those legends I’ve never heard of! I guess there are a lot of old rock bands and therefore a lot of old rockers, who almost really […]

ATP Preview – Bardo Pond

By No More Workhorse on November 29, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Bardo Pond are a six piece American band with lots of heavy layered guitar sounds and softly lilting vocals, not a world away from someone like My Bloody Valentine, although without the […]

ATP Preview – Neurosis

By No More Workhorse on November 29, 2010 • ( 1 Comment )

These were always one of the names that scared me a little in the ATP line up! They’re a four piece experimental metal or Doom metal band from Oakland, California. I have […]

Perry Bible Fellowship

By No More Workhorse on November 27, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

In case any of you don’t know about this guy or his web site already, he’s well worth checking out. Nicholas Gurewitch is from New York with his comic strip starting life in his […]

The Cultural Nadir at Christmas

By No More Workhorse on November 26, 2010 • ( 5 Comments )

Ignoring the religious aspects (which most people will), Christmas is not about high culture. Indeed, for many of us, our formative years are spent whith Christmas encmpassing dreadful songs (I suspect that […]

Only muck at the movies

By No More Workhorse on November 26, 2010 • ( 2 Comments )

The title says it all. Nothing decent released this week,  so i won’t dwell on it particularly long. ‘Unstoppable’ is a Tony Scott movie about a bomb on a train or some […]

I could watch these for hours…

By No More Workhorse on November 25, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejects, you’ve probably all see them a 100 times. See what you think. they make me giggle anyway. Wonderfully simple style of animation, and a nice idea of rejected shorts […]

ATP Preview – Charlemagne Palestine

By No More Workhorse on November 25, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Another odd one for ATP, which is good news! He seems very interested in his collection of Teddy Bears from what I can see of the interviews of him on the net,  […]

Neil Blomkamp’s AGM Heartland

By No More Workhorse on November 25, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

An odd little teaser has just turned up on the internet, from Neil Blomkap, the co-writer and director of District 9. He’s a south african director, and D9 was actually the first […]

Godspeed! book club

By No More Workhorse on November 24, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Every ATP festival, the curator likes to put on something special for their fans. Kelly Deal (the Breeders) ran a knitting club, which I never made it to. She claims that she […]

ATP Preview – Deerhoof

By No More Workhorse on November 24, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Deerhoof are a four piece from San Francisco who have been going in various formats since 94. For some reason I’ve never really checked them out before, but again I like what […]

By No More Workhorse on November 23, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

ATP Preview – Black Dice

By No More Workhorse on November 23, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Noah Lennox “ I can’t speak for the other guys [of Animal Collective], but certainly for myself, like I modelled the way I approach to everything with the band watching the way […]

By No More Workhorse on November 22, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

This lot are a New Zealand noise rock trio, with guitars, vocals and drums and then some looping electronic guff. They’ve been going since 1986, so another lot of old lads. They […]

Mogwai Freebie!

By No More Workhorse on November 22, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

I just love free tasters, like when you were a kid going around the supermarket with your Mum, I’d always go back two or three times, hoping the person at the counter […]

ATP Preview – Throbbing Gristle

By No More Workhorse on November 22, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Only two weeks before I head off to ATP – Godspeed style, so I’m doing a bit of homework first! I must admit I don’t know too many of the bands on […]

Harry Potter and the blah-de-blahs

By No More Workhorse on November 19, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

Yes, it’s Harry Potter Season again, so that will fill up most of the main stream cinemas. Still, two good movies this week, so we can’t really complain. Uncle Boonmee who can […]

Dexter – Early Cuts

By No More Workhorse on November 18, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve been a fan of Dexter for a few years now. It’s great cheese, as tv goes, it’s right up there with the best, such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and a […]

Mongrol

By No More Workhorse on November 18, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

  How cool are these toys exactly? What did we miss out on when we were knee high to a grasshopper? I mean, everyone loved star wars figures, but we all knew […]

Chopsticks!

By No More Workhorse on November 17, 2010 • ( 2 Comments )

Hard to resist junk like this, but I’ll try to be strong! Yes, they really are chopsticks, light saber chopsticks! They’re available here.

Green Lantern

By No More Workhorse on November 17, 2010 • ( Leave a comment )

DC really haven’t gone for the whole movie thing, to the same degree as Marvel. It is possibly a good thing, when you see some of the dodgy adaptations that are out […]
