Ain't No Shame - Walk

Had to put these chaps up as they are fucking excellent live!

Saw them a few weeks back at the Islington Mill supporting another excellent band called Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam Six.

But if you like yer blues minimal with kicking guitar riffage then look no further than 2 maestros from Manchester...

"From the depths of despair to the great heights of hope"

I didn't realise how important American politics was to me until I woke up this morning and rushed to find out the election results. The very thought of Romney becoming the most powerful man in the world brought me out in a cold sweat at 5 am. It is fantastic that Obama has another chance to carry on his hard work in one of the most difficult circumstances of any politician of any era of history. This man is special. He is the  best public speaker I have ever heard, with only maybe Martin Luther King to give him a run for his money. He seems genuine and I really think that he has a strong and true message. He can breathe some much needed liberal breath into a fundamentally segregated society. Speaking of segregated societies, try listening to a David Cameron speech directly after an Obama one. It really is the depths of despair, to the great heights of hope.
