I was only three…
Were you at the Queen gig at Wembley in 1986? If so, I hate you. Freddie Mercury. What a performer. After spending a fair chunk of my evening lamenting the fact that I wasn’t born a decade or two earlier, I came across George Michael’s version of ‘Somebody To ...

Late night mix
Tokyo May 2009 Listen to these songs, and then tell me they don’t go together. Listen to them under the influence of a couple of tumblerfuls of gin, and you won’t even notice if they don’t. To Slowly Be Undone – Born In The Flood Imagining You – ...

Ditties From Down Under: The Avalanches, Jonathan Boulet and Missy Higgins
I’m about eight years late to this party apparently, but I still think this video of ‘Since I Left You’ by Melbourne’s The Avalanches is worth a look. I caught it on Rage this morning and was quite charmed! Make sure you stick with it til the end, won’t you? ...

High fidelity
I’ve been watching High Fidelity today. (Quick summary for those who haven’t seen it, lifted straight from wiki because I’m lazy… The plot of High Fidelity centers on Rob Gordon (John Cusack), a self-confessed audiophile whose flair for understanding women is less ...

Loch Lomond & The Builders And The Butchers Split 12”
I’m a bit of a Song By Toad fan and have been haunting its pages since the beginning of It All Started. Not only is Matthew’s writing funny, irreverant and informative, his taste in music is excellent and I’ve come across quite a few gems through my daily visits to Toad ...

Home is a romanticised concept
You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn’t really your home any more? All of a sudden, even though you have some place where you put your shit that idea of home is gone. You’ll see one day when you move out. Just sorta happens one day and ...

I want you endlessly…
Ok, this is fun. The Guillemots Fyfe Dangerfield has gone solo and this first taste of his debut album Fly Yellow Moon is the perfect antidote to this grey and muggy morning. I love the sketchy opening beats, those rasping scratchy vocals and the countless ‘oooooh oooooohs’. ...

Snippets and linkage and whatnot
Totally random photo: Moulin Rouge, Paris May 2009 I’m house sitting this week, and for a little while earlier my laptop refused to hook up to the wireless setup here. You can imagine my despair as I pictured the week stretching before me, a barren wasteland. Just imagine! ...

Roadside Graves continue to impress
The wonderful folk over at Hear Ya have another stellar Live Session available for your enjoyment. The raspy foot-stomping album My Son’s Home by the Roadside Graves has been a firm favourite here at It All Started this year and it’s fantastic to check out some vision of them doing ...

Come tomorrow, this will all be gone
When I heard ‘Oslo Novelist’ by Grand Archives for the first time a few days ago, I loved it immediately – so much so, that it became a late entry in my Festive 50, actually barging its way into the top 10. I’d heard of Grand Archives before but it wasn’t until ...

You know I’m such a fool for you
Edinburgh, Scotland: May 2009 I’m lingering (read: agonising!) over my Festive 50 list at the moment and so I’m afraid I won’t be much help to you tonight when it comes to recommending my latest and greatest discoveries, but my word, what a treat you’re in for over ...

The Silent Years: a worthy evening soundtrack
Hi, I’m Agnes, and I’m an addict – mainly TV shows on DVD like Weeds and The Office and Scrubs, and more recently CSI NY. I blame Gary Sinise. Tonight however I made the monumental decision to turn off the TV and give my ipod some extra attention. I’ve been meaning ...

There ain’t nothin’ gloomy about this Monday morning
Most of my mornings lately have involved me getting up at 6.30 for a run before getting organised for work. Yesterday I competed in a 5k run though so I treated myself to a bit of a sleep in this morning. I was quite happy to skip my usual half-dead “come on, you know you’ll ...

Bowerbirds take two
Part of the problem with being a music freak is that I’m constantly on the lookout for the next best thing. I don’t mean that in a trendy way – I certainly don’t have any grand ambitions to be the blogger who introduces the world to the next big star or anything, but ...

I love the internet
Want one of your own? Head to The National shop and check out the current sale items. Wish I’d waited a little longer to buy mine – I shelled out top dollar two weeks ago, and I coulda saved myself some big bickies! But then I wouldn’t have the shirt now would I? My ...
