Stag and Dagger 2013: the breadcrumbs edition
Boom. And another exhaustive (and exhausting) episode of Stag & Dagger comes and goes. This year, the replacement of Broadcast for The Captain’s Rest and the limiting of Stereo to the afters club had a couple of effects – first that the festival felt a little smaller (a feeling compounded by the impression that there […]
Stag & Dagger time again
May 16, 2013
So, yay! For various reasons my eye’s been somewhat off the ball, so Stag & Dagger‘s kind of snuck up on me this year. Still, I’ve managed to plug myself into Spotify for research purposes and, with the release of the stage times today, have formulated a plan. It’s going to be a cracking day. […]
Record Store Day 2013
April 19, 2013
Just a quick, now annual, reminder that tomorrow is international Record Store (Shop!) Day. The annual jamboree where the pasty faced and terminally wired consumer of tunes gets his arse out of the house and goes music shopping old school style. Everyone has fun, there are in-store performances by excellent local bands, special releases for […]

February 21, 2013

Simon was strongly expressing his dissatisfaction with Mumford & Sons (their award as best something or other, and just in general I think) and in turn an acquaintance of his was claiming they […]
New eggs
February 10, 2013
With the Murnie ep projects progressing nicely, I’ve quietly been getting back into songwriting. When we started Murnie up we had a rule that it was going to be fun, which meant no down songs, no songs in minor keys, so songs about breakups or any of that nonsense. We’ve pretty much stuck to that, […]
Enigmatic noodlers
February 9, 2013
A wee interview has just gone live with Murnie on the Last Year’s Girl blog. Lisa-Marie, who runs the blog, has wide and eclectic tastes, and the whole blog is well worth sticking on your feed reader. She calls us “enigmatic noodlers”. Yes, hands up, we noodle. And the enigmatic bit probably comes from the fact […]
