Artwork: Jamie T 'Kings & Queens'

I love how revealing the artwork for an album has become an integral part of an artist's digital promotion plan.

Micachu is very busy

Mika Levi and her shapes will be working on music with the London Sinfonietta early next year. In the meantime, she's (jesus) playing every festival around (inc Field Day on the first of August), working on a song for Concrete and Glass, touring in October and releasing another single.

Amazing music documentary

Can you imagine anyone making a film called Datarock saved my life?

Envelopes play rare London show + Secret Garden Festival

One of our favourite Swedish bands, Envelopes, play a show at Barden's Boudoir on 25th July. If you haven't seen them before you should come, they're amazing, and they're probably going to play some new stuff. I can't wait. Oh, and before I forget...Good Shoes are DJing too...

Listen back to Erol Alkan's first BBC6 show

If they were a font, they'd rip the page

Ohio shitgazers Times New Viking release second album, Born Again Revisited, in September. If you were worried that the sound quality would be any less shoddy that that of debut, Rip It Off, fear not – the album was delivered from VHS tapes.

Here's a link to an MP3, No Time No Hope. Artwork below.

Monthly Big Pink Round Up

The Big Pink, easily the best Badseed-free band we saw at Glastonbury, have announced tour and release dates.

Exxxcellent single Dominoes will be out in September, followed very quickly by an album called A Short History Of Love.

Robbie and Milo will be wrapping themselves in icy coils of dry ice like near future warlocks to promote these, check their myspace for dates.

A fairly daft video directed by Tim Saccenti is below.

The Fucking Champs

One of our favourite nights returns to the Corsica Studios tomorrow night. It's called the International Amalgamation of Champions (part 17), and it features people like Zomby (whose Float is above), MJ Cole and Dummy fav So Bones, who did us a really good mix a bit ago.

It's like 1991 all over again...
