Just found the thesixtyone, a social music website with some great new bands. Run as a growing ecosystem, artists can sell directly to their fans therefore circumventing traditional record label ethics. Site’s well designed and hooks you straight into the music. Love it!

Moon – Duncan Jone’s homage to classic sci-fi starring Sam Rockwell is out in June. Watching the trailer there’s distinct parallels to Kubrick’s ‘2001‘ and the Clooney version of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris especially with the overall-look of the film. Also worth checking out is Gavin Rothery’s concept art for the film.

Caught Jon Hopkins supporting Plaid at the recent Ether Festival. Got to say that his latest album ‘Insides‘ is my favourite album so far this year. Top notch electronica!
