Here's my BBC feature on Stag and Dagger festival 2009, the most sonically pleasing festival to grace Leeds in some time:

A couple of reviews I did for Contact Music:
Scaramanga Six here
and Lucky Elephant here.
I've got a few more for that nice website that should be about in the next week. Including, amongst other things, Skanky Skanky by Toddla T. To be honest I did it on a bit of a whim, dubstep is hardly going to be my specialist subject on Mastermind!
But good result anyway: I think the album's pretty good. Or should that be bangin'? or filthy? God knows what the kids are saying these days.
In other news it's too hot to work today, so I don't plan to. Maybe some token photocopying to get me out of the office and away from The Wicked Witch of The West. Her voice is particularly shrill today, like a copper kettle on the boil. Bad times.

Now then. This is my latest BBC review:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/content/articles/2009/06/19/gig_review_josephs_well_feature.shtml
And my first censored article! I tried to plug a local indie label which I really like, but it apparently didn't suit the angle of the piece. Well, BBC, this is the another bit of the internet and I can do what I bloody well please here (Including writing graphic descriptions of whatever I want to do to Girls Aloud. Yikes.)
So, here's the world's biggest PLUG for Philophobia music. Not only did the lovely boys behind it give me some of my first articles when I started writing locally, but it's jam-packed full of nutritious muscial goodness, and the EP is a mere £3.
