Tomorrow night the ever brilliant Tubelord will be fluxing out our stage at the CAI with their rock-pop gems and radist sentiment.

This band are one of the reasons I wanted to start this night with John. They are so awesome.

Seriously.

Here’s them playing in my kitchen…

Their debut record Our First American Friends was one of my favourites of last year. Their live set is erratic, exciting and entirely endearing. This show is free before 9pm, which is when support Tall Ships go on anyway. Plus, they just introduced cheap drinks to the Institute.

Most perfect Tuesday ever?

I forgot to blog about this because last week was, well, stupidly busy. BUT… it was so awesome. If you missed the show then tune into Bethan’s Radio 1 show in a couple of weeks where she’ll have two session tracks from the band that are equally breathtaking.

But yeh, for some reason I have a desire to post this here…

FIVE AWESOME THINGS FROM BALTIMORE.

5. Dan Deacon – Incredible music, utterly mad live show and just all round genius.

4. Ponytail – Flipped out jams, brilliantly thought out in everyway, entirely idiosyncratic and awesome.

3. The Wire – The best thing I’ve ever watched on telly (apart from Arrested Development).

2. Beach House – Hi guysssh… I love you.

AND… drum roll…. at number one…

1. Ace of Cakes – Just… wow.

See you for Tubelord on Tuesday. Will blog it once I’ve scanned in my poster. It’s a sweet poster.
