In This Light And On This Tourbus

Jaz has been a little lost at sea this past week continuing in our battle for worldwide media domination. It's a rollercoaster ride that's recently taken us to The Scottish Daily Mail of all places where everything is weighed according to the extent of damages to the truest symbol of morality - the British taxpayer. But finally we are getting the ball rolling once more. Don't kick a dog when it's down... it'll only rise to bite you in the arse. Or something like that.

"Chris generally hates music. He's pretty bored of it. I think he only likes the music he wants to create so he doesn't want to listen to other bands." - Russell Leetch, Editors


So Editors - the band who make Les Miserables look like a comedy - have yet to find the cure to their moroseness, then? Shame. We met with the Brummy foursome last week during their latest Academy tour. Their third album In This Light And On This Evening saw the group discover synths and bagged them another Number 1 record. Jaz is still incapable of listening to it with a straight face but the less said of that the better. We'll let the NME review do the talking there: http://www.nme.com/reviews/editors/10884

Jaz's photos are to be published by Editors (or their website designers) in the near future so for copyright reasons we will not direct you to them now. Suffice to say their appearance hasn't suffered as drastic a makeover as their music. Jaz also cannot post anything from In This Light And On This Evening (and not for copyright reasons). Here is Bullets - the highlight from their debut album:

Happy Sunday! Grovel Grovel...

Jaz awoke to mild panic that we'd forgotten Mother's Day among all the past week's gig overload this morning. Alas, it's not til next week so we have some time for ample fishy preparation. But cue our apology to all you wonderful blogees for the slower week that's just passed. There is much to make up for it in store: Groove Armada, Mumford & Sons, Local Natives... In addition, Jaz was invited to watch Kate Nash's first gig in two years last night. The review is pending publication and will be with you very soon :) And if that wasn't enough, we'll be chatting to those cheery Editors blokes in Glasgow this week. If only time would stop for just five minutes...

On that note, we leave you with a modern classic: Stillness Is The Move by Dirty Projectors from last year's Bitte Orca. Absolutely sublime - even Beyonce's sister Solange is a fan...
