This week The Herb Whisperer recommends Japanese Cartoon – Lupe Fiasco’s new project apparently inspired by his admiration for Joy Division. Rather good it is too. Even better – the Japanese Cartoon album “In The Jaws Of The Lords Of Death” is a free download.

Fraserhead gave into guilty pleasures and thoroughly recommends Hurts. Herb has been too chicken to play this fantastic synth duo but Fraserhead has no shame. Hurts conjure up all your favourite/hated overblown epic synth duos and boy bands from years gone by. Think all the best (yes really) bits of Westlife, Robbie Williams, Savage Garden, Black, Talk Talk etc etc etc. Truly wonderful. Here’s the classy video for “Better Than Love”…

Lovely new single from Tommy Ill – “Robot”. Catch Tommy Ill at Goodbye Blue  Monday on Saturday 11 September. Fingers crossed we can get him into the show for a quick chat.

Simian Mobile Disco have been busy. Their new Delicatessen & Delicacies singles series features food in the titles. The first two singles are Aspic/Nerve Salad and Cazu Marzu/Thousand Year Egg. Casu marzu (Sardinian sheep’s milk cheese riddled with insect larvae) could well be the world’s deadliest cheese.

OMG FTW?!? The Fall have been confirmed for Monday 13 December at The Powerstation in Auckland. See you there.

We’re not sure why people persist in conducting on line polls for the purpose of dishing out honours. They are, after all, just an open invitation for a campaign to distort, rig or correct the results, depending on your point of view. The evidence goes as far back as 1999 when, incredibly, Belle & Sebastian beat out Steps and 5ive to take the prize for Brits Best British Newcomers.

Stewart Lee has his own set of reasons for decrying the Fosters Comedy God awards at this years Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but his throwaway line concerning The Frank Chickens has put them as firm favourites to win, ahead of more familiar names like Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey and Flight Of The Conchords. It’s also given us a chance to dig out some old “We Are Ninja (Not Geisha)” vinyl to play on the show today (as well as an excuse to post Lee’s fantastic political correctness routine).

Alternatively, this is the raw, unpasteurized version of the show in mp3 format. No chapters, pictures or links. Slightly less quality. Otherwise the audio content is the same as the two files above. The choice is yours…..
