A contender for my photo of the year: Whitley @ The Annandale Hotel, Annandale - 16th May, 2008 Rather than wait until the end of the year I thought I’d undertake Part I of my photography review of 2008 at the close of June. Closing 2007 out with José González was always going to be difficul...

So here's my list of best singles, album tracks, and EPs from 2008. Unlike my Best Albums List, songs that were from a 2007 album but were released as singles in 2008 are eligible. But single reissues are not. (Which is why "Time to Pretend," Friendly Fires and Pacific are absent from ...

Somewhere in Terminal 5 of London's Heathrow Airport, there's a laptop with Calvin Harris' new album on it. What's bad news for Calvin is that he's not exactly sure where in Terminal 5 the laptop may be. So, Harris lost his laptop, and thusly, the only copy of his finished new album. So, how are we ...

The first of many? I’ve got so many links I want to post. and because like bananas, links go better as a bunch, here they are. What happens when snoop dog gets together with an eonomist? Rap Graphs - via ze frank (RAPup, get it?) Jeremy is getting into trouble with electronics too! The arduino...

In which we find some of my favourite upcoming singles, retooled by some of the nation's foremost knob twiddlers. :: The Ting Tings - A Great DJ (Calvin Harris mix) Sproingy disco beats + shouty chorus = arms-aloft party anthem. :: Duffy - Mercy (Thankful mix) Better because it is longer. :: Kylie -...

With a friendship forged on a mutual love for all things Minogue, the time seemed right for D'luv and MoogaBoo to sit down for a Kylie banterview! D'LUV: Okay, let's just address the fact that the video for "Wow" premiered this week on Perez Hilton.com. Perez Hilton! It truly is a sign of the times....
