Jealous? I hope so. It's for Sound City in Liverpool, sort of like a smaller Great Escape or Northern version of Camden Crawl. The line up is good though, over the three days I'm there I'm hoping to catch Pulled Apart By Horses, Patrick Wolf, Ipso Facto (headlining the Gigwise stage), Sky Larkin, Metronomy and possibly Eugene McGuinness, Chew Lips and Deerhunter. Sadly I'l miss Enter Shikari which is a shame as this is the funniest video/ song I've seen all year- Dizzee Rascal could learn a thing or two...

In other news the world went mental for Twitter (twitter.com/boringbythesea) and I think it might have snowed a bit. Nobody mentioned it though.

A band that quotes Camus, Shakespeare and Seinfeld can only ever be intriguing but to mix that with beer spilling punk? Well now you have the makings of something amazing.
Titus Andronicus hail from New Jersey but are clearly Anglophiles with their debts owed to The Clash and The Pogues reaching bailiff territory. This teamed with the bands clear intelligence gives the music a sense of nihilistic rebellion, a sort of "We've worked everything out, now let's party and forget it all". Lead singer Patrick Stickles is the star of the show from the off, a howling preacher with razor blades for vocal chords and philosophical texts for bed time reading. His dischordant screams have been compared to Conor Oberst but where Bright Eyes sulk and whine Titus Andronicus are barking and snarling. Every song on 'The Airing...' starts off in a swaying and downbeat fashion before seemingly deciding that won't do anymore and letting loose with a series of riffs in a frenzied race to the finish line.
The bands self titled single is the most accesible and most complete track on the album with its chanted refrain of "Your life is over" and crowd baiting clap-alongs- it's a tour de force and sure to be Titus Andronicus calling card. The future anthems don't diminish however, although tougher to penetrate the likes of 'My Time Outside The Womb' and 'Arms Against Atrophy' are equally excellent.
Never before has one mans argument with himself sounded so profound.

The lovely people at Clash, not content with becoming one of the best music magazine/ websites around, are giving away an 11 track album showcasing some of the most exciting new bands set to 'make it' in 2009.
The album is free to download here and includes Boring By The Sea faves Three Trapped Tigers, Titus Andronicus and Chairlift alongside a host of others. If the Clash website takes your fancy then be sure to pick up the new copy of their magazine with a creepy old woman on the cover.
