Risen from the grave.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Here's the news...

This just in; I'm back online! It's been hellish for the last month or so not being able to access the net from home. Makes you wonder how we ever survived without it.

I'm going to be branching out into the world of TV blogging pretty soon. More news on that when I have it.

The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame have compiled a 'definitive' top 200 albums of all time list that's just a front to help line the pockets of Wal-Mart and the like. Idolator has the story.

Also at Idolator, they've taken a much-deserved pop at the increasingly self-congratulatory Stereogum. Not before time in my opinion. Check that out here.

I went to see The Arcade Fire in Manchester last night. I'm not posting a review because I'm writing it for someone else. Rachael from The Console has spouted forth her views on the gig here. You'll find me sounding off in the comments.

If you guys really are thirsting to read something that I wrote, I have some reviews up on the High Voltage site. Find out what I thought of the debut album by The Hours and the new singles from Keith, Leave The Capital and Heron, if you so wish. Just click the links.

Seeing as you've all been so patient with me, here's a tune from the brand spanking new and rather good Electrelane album, No Shouts, No Calls for your enjoyment.

Electrelane - At Sea (mp3)

Catch you all soon.
