With local boy Liam Frost appearing on the NME website today and with news that his second album will be released soon, there's no better time to plug some of his music. As it's really really good. Here's one of the songs from his debut album for you all to enjoy and tell your friends about.

Sheffield songsmiths Slow Club have a new album out this week and this is a song from it. I assume it's a single or something. The NME gave the album 8/10:
Sheffield duo Rebecca Taylor and Charles Watson, aka Slow Club, take the opposite route for their debut album, dishing up a mish-mash of folk, country, skiffle and oh-so-cute indie-pop sounds which are far too delicate to need that nasty masculine bass guitar anyway. It’s an approach which won’t be to everyone’s taste – in fact, there’s a certain type of person who’ll hate it. These people – for argument’s sake we’ll call them ‘idiots’ – will doubtless hurl their favourite four-letter word, ‘twee’, at Slow Club as if it were the cause of all the world’s ills, from climate change to Adam Sandler. As I said, these people are idiots.Click here for the full review. And then rush out to buy the album.
Following the news that JD Salinger has blocked the publication of an unofficial sequel (click here for the full story), today seems like a good day to recommend The Catcher In The Rye. Follow Holden Caulfield as he wanders through New York - according to some it's still "the defining work on what it is like to be a teenager".
