News we can’t be bothered to post on rawkstar #1
Posted by Bob at 23:15 on July 13, 2006
Well, here is a round up of various news items from the big bad internet none of the team (including myself) could be bothered to copy and paste into the rawkstar news page.
- BSP headline charity festival in London – and it’s free!
- Sam’s Town – hmmmmmm The Killers pay back gambling debts with some free promotion for local Casino
GollumTom York solo single – right after V!- Nicky Wire aka Manics Bassist releases details on… releases!
- Weezer are no more!
- Influential Floyd member dies – Shine on You crazy Diamond
- The Chiefs are returning with new tunes (well… they’re nearly finished their 2nd album…)!
- Muse Supermassive big tour!
- Flaming small tour!!
- If only i could drum, lived in London and… well maybe not the third one, then it’d all be pointless!
- No more 7″ singles from Fierce Panda – WHYYYYYYY?!
Yes, I only went through the NME, Drowned in Sound and thisisfakediy news pages but that’s all we need for one news post!!.
Enjoy!
Albums of the year?
Posted by Andreas at 00:39 on May 3, 2006
I’d just like to highlight some of the releases I am mostly looking forward to in the coming weeks/months, in the hopes that you, dear reader, will tell me which you are excited about and so we can all relish in the exchange of information. Anyway, here it goes!
- Asobi Seksu: Citrus. New York band that sounds like a swirling dream of wonderfulness. Album out a the end of this month, I do believe.
- This et Al: Sabbatical. We’re quite fond of this lot over at rawkstar hq, and their next single and upcoming album should be immense.
- Bloc Party: whatever it is called. Are you excited? I am. Hopefully it’ll be less punk-funk, and blog posts assure me this is the case.
- Mean+Flower: Untitled. The return of Europe’s best unsigned poprock band?
Now, your turn!

All you’ll ever be is a dancer…

Is a song by This Et Al. Furthermore, I absolutely love it. From the jarring chords to the sensitive chorus bit, it’s all good. Ticking in at under 2 minutes “all you’ll ever be…” is terribly short, but my, those 96 seconds are purest gold.
Patrick Wolf album in 2006
Posted by Andreas at 17:58 on January 15, 2006
My current love, as far as music is concerned, Patrick Wolf is releasing his third album this year. More details on the musical aspect of the album in the full-length interview i did with the lovely Mr. Wolf elsewhere on rawkstar.net.
Some more news have later emerged though. The album will be named “The Magic Position” (the mind boggles…) and will be released on Loog/Polydor. Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that the wolf is going big time.
Along with the prospects of a new Biffy Clyro and maybe an Arcade Fire album in 2006, I am very very excited.
Also worth a look are Norwegian band Syracus’ first EP, “Sleeping Thermostat”. www.syracus.no
Bosh!
rawkstar.net joins the blogging bandwagon!

Yes, I’ve gone and done it now… I set up a rawkstar.net blog for the team to pass on their thoughts of the moment on the world of music e.t.c. and me to ramble about webby things.
I know it doesn’t look very nice at the moment, but I will redesign the site when i get around to it – It’ll look more like rawkstar.
Fantastic.
