MIXTAPE: Everybody's Stalking

We're big big big fans of Mixtapes here at the Tuckshop HQ. Some of us even make them on cassettes, even though some others don't own cassette players and thus, the whole exercise redundant. Though the effort is always appreciated, I'm sure.

Anyway, we're aiming to locate and distribute some of the best digital mixes on the badass, world wide web and to start with we've got a real beauty from Everybody's Stalking, the label behind Tuckshop Favourite Melodica, Melody and Me.

You can lovingly download the mixtape from the soundcloud link below, though do please take the time to check them out and all the lovely artists they're putting out there.

Albums to enjoy a pot of tea with # 4 & 5 Pants Yell! Alison Statton & Received Pronunciation

It’s fair to say that when you first hear Pants Yell!, your whole body is taken over by a wave of uncontrollable delight which is reason enough for us to add not one but two albums into the “Enjoy with a pot of tea” category. To be fair both of these albums are both short and more importantly sweet enough to be listened to back to back. Quite frankly a superior way to spend an hour.

Sadly Pants Yell! are no longer with us having decided to call it quits in the summer of 2010 (a great shame as the Tuckshop faithful only stumbled across them at the tail end of 2009) however in their trail they have left a brilliant legacy of cheery American art school indie basement pop. Both Alison Statton and Received Pronunciation (possibly their 3rd and 4th Albums) are a welcome addition to any record collection as their songs evoke images of run down rehearsal rooms, small sweaty gigs at parties and art student liberation.

be sure to bag yourself copies of both Alison Statton and Received Pronunciation

Late Night Living room session with Joe Innes

So it finally happened and we managed to get ourselves together to film and record a late night living room session with the rather friendly Joe Innes on a late winters evening. An event which was exciting due to a number of reasons. 1 - we're big fans of Joe Innes and 2 - we were putting our late night sessions theory to the test.

The evening in all reality, couldn't have gone smoother. Joe, the epitome of an urban anti folk gentleman, patiently strummed and sung his way through a variety of his killa records while we filmed and recorded his super narrative songs, all of which were creatively packaged into a couple of charming lo-fi minutes.

The camera lights, shone brightly, the company was top notch while the Tea and Spaghetti Carbonara flowed freely. We'd like to thank Joe Innes for his time and excellent record choice and am sure that you'll like the end product.
