Free

Pixies are giving away a new free EP from their official website. The EP consists of four live tracks which were recorded during the band's set at Coachella in 2004, including their hit singles "Monkey Gone To Heaven" and "Caribou" and is available to be downloaded now from Pixiesmusic.com.

For various reasons. I found myself in New York the other week, and in a resiliently unhip part of Williamsburg at a bar called Don Pedro. The opportunity had come up to see one of my favourite artists of the past couple of years, a firebrand piano man called Hans Chew, whose debut solo album, “Tennessee And Other Stories”, was a surprise entry at the sharp end of Uncut’s 2010 Top 50 (Lots more on that here).
