Entertainment for the Braindead – Sleep (MP3) Entertainment for the Braindead – Resolutions (MP3) When Earlyguard turned me on to Entertainment for the Braindead‘s Hypersomnia, I was knocked out by it. It’s full of beautifully fragile, drowsy tracks. I immediately started badgering her for an interview. Unfortunately, that fell down the back of the internet. […]

Honeybody Moonbee – Cough Syrup (MP3) Honeybody Moonbee – Suction Cups (MP3) via MySpace I’ve spent far too long trying to work out whether Emily ‘Honeybody Moonbee’ Ritz is the same Emily Ritz as the Emily Ritz who is the uke playing daughter of Lyle Ritz. I’m pretty sure she’s not, but if you’ve got […]
