We had a great day playing at the Moseley Folk Festival last weekend. It was our 4th appearance at the festival but the first time as a full band and the friendly atmosphere and crowd inside the Bohemian Jukebox tent really made the day. We also played pretty well too, which is always a bonus.
We recorded the set, so if you missed it and want to hear how it sounded, or were there and would like to hear it again, Read the rest

Episode 23 of the Friends of the Stars podcasts breaks new technological ground, being the first recorded entirely over Skype.
Campbell, Craig & Executive Producer Robson discuss a variety of topics, including Campbell’s brief stint as the Milk Tray Man and his dalliance with a make-up artist called Kindly. The boys then push the boundaries of Voice Over IP technology by trying (and failing) to make beer appear over the internet. There is also a lot of bickering and swearing.

Here’s a fun video we came across. French band Hold Your Horses have borrowed heavily from several classic works of art for their “70 Million” video.

From the marvellous ‘Intercourse With Biscuits’ blog. They say “Absolutely loving this Botswanan guitarist. The technique is really intriguing. Apparently, it’s common there to deliberately ditch two strings.”

Made by the clever folks at GGRP, this cardboard record player would probably destroy your vinyl collection, but it’s rather sweet and, obviously, I want one really bad.

Friends of FOTS Rob Hyde is one of the good guys.
The other day, over on the Twitter, he asked for suggestions for a new mix he was making. Once we found out that the mix would consist entirely of songs used in the montage sections of shite films, we realised this was a round where we should be playing our joker and immediately threw in a few suggestions, some of which made the cut. Here’s Rob’s mix in all it’s glory. He considers it “perfect for doing cocaine in the gym to”, and who can argue with that.
