LCD Soundsystem tour in May
After months in the studio working on a new record as well as releases on his label DFA, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy will be back on the road in May. Although just one date in Bristol on 2nd May has been announced so far, this is likely to form part of a more extensive UK tour.
In a recent interview with NME, Murphy has suggested that LCD Soundsystem’s forthcoming album will be his last under this moniker.
Crossfire favourites Manchester Orchestra have spawned a new musical permutation in the form of guitarist Robert McDowell’s Gobotron.
His debut album On Your Mark, Get Set… will be released digitally on Favorite Gentlemen Recordings on 19th January.
The album began as somewhat of a secret during time off from Robert’s dayjob of Manchester Orchestra. He started playing around with a few ideas on his own, influenced by acts from the Beach Boys through to Ben Kweller, and didn’t really divulge information of what he was doing until it was actually done.

Dizzee Rascal
Dizzee Rascal has always had hits, that goes without saying. From pure grime I Luv U through Stand Up Tall to guitar based Sirens, he has shown he can rock over any beat and produce catchy anthems. The problem he’s had is that his albums tend to have a fair amount of filler, so whilst his Best Of would be brilliant, it’s hard to listen to an entire album without skipping tracks.
On his new record, Tongue N Cheek, the East London rapper has countered that with a fully listenable which covers the gamut from pop to dance and even managing to break out an 80’s sounding track without coming off like a trend follower. Indeed, whilst the lyrics are pretty standard fare – I’m awesome, I can get girls, I’m rich – it’s Dizzee’s off-kilter delivery and unbeatable voice that makes that seem unimportant.
It’s not just the sing-along potential of Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me that makes this album fun, its tracks such as Dirrtee Cash, Money Money and the fantastic Can’t Tek No More which switch it up and show Dizzee to be the versatile rapper he is.
Whilst the likes of Bizzle and Kano have fallen by the wayside, Dizzee goes from strength to strength and this is arguably the pinnacle of his career so far. He’s going to be here for a long time yet and as long as he’s banging out records like this, it’s going to be fun having him around.
