Today we’ve got Sam Wander who guested with Benedict at 20JFG a couple of months ago (and totally killed it) writing about a couple of Brighton bands from a thriving noise/underground/industrial/folk/always DIY as fuck scene that got started at bedrooms, house parties, little theatres and the Psykick Dancehall club/gig night that Ben and Hannah run….
Nascent have been putting great gigs in Brighton since the good lordy knows when, last night it was Pheromones (non musical band which features James Nascent, James from the Sticks, Russel who sadly moved to london and a guy I don’t know, the style is a bit the Shaggs meets NEU! meets Fall or sth…
Matthew E – Bad Blood! Just searching the internet to find some more stuff out about lovely people over at Skint Records artist Matthew E (erm,one half of Radioslave it turns out- he famous) when I found this comment on a dance music record site about my favourite track off the 12” check it ‘Bad…

I guess you might have noticed the xxjfg beast bot has reproduced and spawned another head. We are proud to announce a new addition to the collective of Steve from one of our favourite blogs of last year To Here Knows When. Steve refused to accept the reprogramming we gave him and will continue on…
Alright, so this will be up on tuesday but was written on monday, which was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, it’s the january blues, a grey sky, debts mounting, no escape like good old mummified Sky Saxon said, well, why don’t we just…fuck it? Yeah, fuck it with a good…
Caribou – Marino All the things you want to say about Caribou have already been said. The Silver Apples psych sound obviously leaves xxjfg drooling over them while the album made many peoples top 10 ten lists last year which we were very glad to see. Marino – the dvd seems to have slipped out…
If indiepop is about running around and falling around with the face painted in dayglo colours while wearing a strippy everything, and climbing in the merry-go-round with creatures ten years younger after an all night bender and sending text messages full of lil faces and wearing those colourful badges with pride of being silly but…
Human Eye – Age For anyone who ever drowned themselves in the psychic apple barrel of Chrome and the world of Helios Creed but wished somewhat to have more of the skinny limp-wristed punch in the face of Stiv Bators at the throat, screaming his best non-sensicle hope I die before I get old (well…
Going out can lead you to despair. The 20JFG kid finds himself lost in a scary forest of boring half assed half baked acid, crappy 4×4 electro-house made with PVC beats, worthless remixes of indie disco crap and generic disco-punk nothingness. DFA please release something and deliver us from the drudgery of the early 2006…
Copy – It’s a Little Too Late Pure self indulgence for me on this one, just to ease you into this week in Winter for our hemisphere. Slippers, log fire and some electonic goodness to warm the barnacles in the led glow. Right from the start we are witnessing the missing link between Isolee and…
Ok, we said we’d normalise the situation and then we disappeared. Bear with us. We have been fighting spiders, throwing up on top of grannies, representing gay rights, we’ve been attacked by viruses and spit blood, we have made friends with dragons and tigers and slept with Cassette Playas, we have read Kurt Vonnegut and…
