News - June 2010

 

  • NEW SINGLE - Would you believe it? Another single, within the same actual year?  Somehow an appalling number of years seem to have slipped by since we last heard from this month's celebrant. For reasons best known to themselves, The Crisps have chosen to return with Monsters. It is subtitled "A Guide for Children Everywhere". We're not sure how to take that: is it cautionary or an incitement? Click here to listen and decide for yourself.

  • MUSIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Listen to some Balinese Gamelan music. Seriously. Forget about all that guff about being pretentious and having an eclectic music taste and how seasoned a traveller you are . Just listen to some of the music. It's unbelievably beautiful.

  • HAPPENINGS IN CANADA: You must surely have listened to HANK's The Luck of the Singers by now? You should also check out the new album "Monody" by the suavely funky gentleman known simply as MANTLER. We particularly enjoyed "Childman" and "Author".

  • LEARN TO SWIM on FACEBOOK - If would like to find us on Facebook and help us move our fanbase into the mythical realm of double figures, we're here: http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Learn-to-Swim/19845736140  

   

 

News - March 2010

 

  • WE'RE BACK! - 2010, you say? We don't want to give you excuses. There are no excuses. Rest assured, we have missed you. 

  • NEW SINGLE - Who else could we return with but Hair by Roger? Evening is one of their semi-mythical "lost" singles which has apparently been a work in progress for longer than they care to remember. Or indeed can remember. Three more slices of ambience in the present-participle form. Click here to listen.

  • HANK: Learn to Swim remains as besotted as ever with our favourite transatlantic rapscallions HANK. Have you listened to The Luck of the Singers lately? Why not? You should also check out the astonishing spin-off Sir Clement which is possibly the most rock'n'roll thing since whatever it was Fats Domino thought was such a shame.

  • LEARN TO SWIM on FACEBOOK - If you're part of that melee of silly games about cats and messages from people you only dimly remember from school and would like to find us on Facebook, we're here (it's changed): http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Learn-to-Swim/19845736140
