Podblasting Explained...

Hello all and welcome to the Music Mart Blog...

From time to time, either myself - or another of the Music Mart writers hope to be posting here to give you information on the magazine, background on music or equipment recommendations and generally letting you know what's going on in our geeky little heads... Cool eh?

But firstly, as you may or may not know, every month in Music Mart we run a column called Podblasting - which allows us to recommend our favourite tunes for the month - well, hopefully we'll be able to illuminate those decisions a little in this space.

Currently impressing us are;

* Misterlee especially Magnesium Horses
* Jenny Lewis' LP with The Watson Twins, you can see her perform my favourite - Melt Your Heart - here.
* Anything by Justice, even this...
* Also we're feeling Okkervil River's new LP, of which you can hear samples online and Futureworld by Trans Am - which - despite being over seven years old still sounds fresh as a daisy, and kinda like Kraftwerk jamming with The Chemical Brothers and Editors...

But at the moment, I'm rocking out to Ca Plane Pour Moi by Plastic Bertrand - it's about the only thing that's made me smile on an otherwise dull monday morning... Still, Peavey kindly delivered their sweet Valveking amp for review, so that should be fun... Should? who am I kidding, it'll be fun...

Later guys...
