My Top 5 Albums of 2011 - Number #1

The Black Keys - El Camino El Camino is the seventh album from The Black Keys released in December on Nonesuch Records, and is co-produced by Danger Mouse. Brothers, although I didn’t mention it in my Top 10 of 2010 has grown to be one of my favourite albums of all time and I couldn’t wait to hear El Camino when it came out and although it’s a real good album, it’s not...

My Top 5 Albums of 2011 - Number #2

Foster The People - Torches Torches is the debut record from Foster The People released on Columba Records in the UK. Arguably the best album released this year the band, initially a solo project of Mark Foster, has developed into something between an indie rock and a synth pop dancefloor band and their sound is quite difficult to pigeon hole. Pretty much the entire world has heard Pumped Up...

My Top 5 Albums of 2011 - Number #3

Bombay Bicycle Club - A Different Kind Of Fix ‘Fix’ is the third album from Bombay Bicycle Club, and if you’ve been following me for the past 3 years you’ll know how much I like them. Their debut was my favourite album of 2009 and the second album, the acoustic record was my number 2 (topped only by Delphic’s debut). Their 3rd record represents yet another...

My Top 5 Albums of 2011 - Number #4

Thrice - Major / Minor If Beggars represented the completion of Thrice’s transition into an Alternative rock band, then Major / Minor exists to complete that legacy. An extremely solid album that in my opinion, lacks slightly in lyrical content when compared to it’s predecessor but makes up for it with extremely tight songwriting. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to listen to...

My Top 5 Albums of 2011 - Number #5

The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar The Big Roar is the debut album from Welsh band, The Joy Formidable and released at the start of the year on Atlantic Records. When I first heard this record I thought i’d already heard the album of the year. It’s an alternative heavy guitar based record that isn’t afraid to deviate at times into a progressive rock behemoth and for a debut...

Handed in a ISO800 Lomo film that has been through my Diana Mini. The only problem is, whilst using it, my camera whilst fixed to a tripod and release toppled over and the back fell off, exposing the film. It was dark so I’m hoping it hasn’t spoiled the entire film. I also intentionally wasted about 5 shots because I wasn’t sure if it was loaded properly… Anyway, I get...

This morning, after waiting 15 days, part of my little brothers christmas present turned up, it’s a NES MAX controller which if anyone who had an old NES knows are pretty vital equipment. The listing on ebay SPECIFICALLY SAYS that the product has been “Cleaned, Tested & Guaranteed” and is in “GREAT CONDITION”… Well that was clearly a lie with the piece of...

I just reblogged a post about some UN poem...

… and I realised that what I said sounded (unintentionally) pretty fucking harsh, so I uh… deleted the reblog :). Sorry if it was you who posted it and you wondered why my reblog was missing, here’s a gif to cheer you up:

Some girl followed me the other day, I think for one of my Holga photos. So as I do with every new follow I get, I checked her blog out, but it was so ridiculously coded, it took me about five minutes to horizontally scroll across the page only to discover she (or the coder) had coded it so that the ‘follow’ and ‘dashboard’ buttons we’re missing, so I was like...

I don't understand why or how metronomy are so...

wordsfromluke: stormjh: they’re fucking atrociously bad. That’s a bit harsh! I don’t get the hype either, but bad is a bit strong, Nights Out by them is a cracking album, I think all the other stuff is a bit… Bland. I really struggled with them between Nights Out and English Riviera, When Gabe left the band I thought they had lost it, but they won me back with The Bay and the rest of...

I was photographing...

a protest outside Mailbox in Birmingham earlier and this guy came up to me with a Canon EOS 5D round his neck like “good to see someone using film still!” and I was totally lost for words, I wasn’t sure if he was being humble or genuine, so I was like, “uh yeah, I only shoot film. Just film!” while I was like, looking at possibly 1000’s £’s worth of...
