Ah, I do have all the BSP records, so I should have known that.
Richard Walker is not (I’m pretty sure) Scott’s brother but the economic geographer at Berkeley. His lectures on the global economy are highly recommended, and available via iTunes. Doesn’t quite fit with this page, I know, but you did ask.

Hi Andrew – System of a Down are terrible; Circulus are a bunch of hippies who you probably wouldn’t have heard of but are favourites of mine/ours; BSP is British Sea Power.

On the other hand, who is Richard Walker? One of Scott’s brothers?

I thought if you wanted to know what an acts sounds like these days you just typed their name into Last.fm … or am I missing someone. Not only have I never heard of Ox.Eagle etc., but I’ve not heard of (let alone listened to) some of the bands you compare them to (although even I have heard of and listened to the Editors … ). Now that’s what you call being off the pop pulse.

“Sophie Ellis Boxhead”? Nice phrasing.

I don’t know how to feel about the phrase “posh indie”. Just thinking about it is giving me a headache. The words make me think of that awful britpop band Sophie Ellis Boxhead was in in the late 90’s. The Audience, I think?

And now I’m worried that I’m forgetting something really important to remember that.

It’s ALMOST put me off downloading the MP3’s

They supported The Spree on the last tour I think. I was in the bar as usual.

Wahay! Now that’s what I call a review. I have a feeling I’ve seen this lot supporting someone, but reading your description I’m no longer sure. Nice cover!
