I've only recently got into Art Brut, via the new Frank Black produced album 'Vs Satan', so there were a lot of tunes in this set which I didn't know, songs which were greeted ecstatically by thousands of fans at the main stage on Friday night.
Art Brut may sound like a one trick pony upon first listen but throughout their last three records, they've showed both a consistency and a willingness to tinker with the sound. While the first record Bang Bang Rock & Roll laid the blueprint for what the band wasn't. It's ...

What's even better than seeing the energy of London's Art Brut at a music festival? Seeing them in a place like Schubas where you can feel the stage and the floors vibrating with their basslines! Lead singer Eddie Argos was in prime form with his typical showman gestures and classic pacing and rambling. Half the time, the lyrics are made up of his astute observations on life with everything

I'm a bit concerned that it won't be representative of all of MOG; to be honest, it's not even 10% of those that trust me. So hopefully you guys are still debating your lists. I will be collecting lists unt...
If I wasn't convinced with Bang Bang Rock 'n' Roll, I'm now completely convinced: Eddie Argos is my new patron saint. I listened to the new album It's A Bit Complicated yesterday, and I found it difficult to suppress a goofy smile as he sang his stories of being in love with pop music. Opening track "Pump Up The Volume" made me laugh out loud, as he talked about "breaking from a kiss, to turn u...
Some days ago, I came across this post by Carmensandiego and accepted her kind invitation like a message in a bottle.Here's a track I've chosen as "smile-bringer"It's always a delicate alchemy to come up with a decent mixtape for someone that you know. It's an almost impossible task when you're thinking about a complete stranger...Anyway, I'm wondering if you distinguished Moggers still make mi...
