The Girl with the Replaceable Head – Shangri La Yeah, I’m an 80s kid. That comes with certain conditions. In particular, there’s a twang of a guitar that jets me back to my carefree, younger days when life was simple and the Cocteau Twins catered for most of my musical needs. Which brings us neatly to The Girl with the Replaceable Head. Not just a great name for a band, this lot also have a neat line in jangly, shoe-gazey indie that would surely have bagged a deal with 4AD in about 1990.

Victim or Survivor. Top Story - April 2024. Content Warning.
TW: Mention of self harm and suicide attempts I'll preface this article with I have never listened to any other songs by Citizen Soldier. I had never heard of them until I found out from an Icon for Hire stream where they told fans about an "upcoming collab," being with Citizen Soldier. As soon as I saw that it was on Spotify, I listened to it over and over... And over because of the lyrics.

Writing Their Own Requiem. Content Warning.
Introduction This morning I picked out "You Want It Darker" by Leonard Cohen and thought I know at least three artists who knew they were not long for this world, and thought it might be an idea to share songs from these albums with you.

Top 5 Depeche Mode Songs
You could throw a dart at any band and find out that the songs were influenced by Depeche Mode. This band has solidified its way into the hearts and minds of many fans from the 80s and an audience kept finding them (that includes yours truly). Now keep in mind that I am just a music fan, I don't count these songs as lesser or greater than the others. I'm just a fan of the band.

Playlist: Aelius
Another weekend, another festival. The Aelius Alternative festival in Newcastle is preparing its first edition on Saturday and it promises to be a belter. At a tough time for smaller music venues, it’s great to see a cluster of bars around the railway station work together to showcase some exciting local talent.
