		<title>The Musical Chairs 2010 Festival Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last year on The Musical Chairs, we provided some live coverage from a couple of festivals &#8211; The Great Escape and Reading. They were both fun festivals to cover and, from what I gather of those read the coverage and the detailed analysis afterwards, very good coverage. So, The Musical Chairs is once again planning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amnesty campaign to find Iranian journalists &#8211; Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few weeks ago I told you of the campaign led by Amnesty International to locate the whereabouts of some missing music journalists in Iran. The hunt is still going on but there was some good news recently. Behrang Tonekaboni, a journalist who was arrested alongside Kayvan Farzin at the Farhang va Ahang (an Iranian [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beach House &#8211; Teen Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s very, very easy to be sucked in by hype. Teen Dream, the third album by Baltimore duo Beach House was released nearly a couple of months ago and has received many plaudits from critics and is hailed as one of the best albums of the year thus far. They are the current flavour of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Save BBC 6 Music!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You must have by now heard of the news that the BBC is cutting down on costs and for this very reason will be cutting the one music radio station that it&#8217;s even possible to like in the UK &#8211; 6 Music. The alternative music station is, pending a review by the BBC Trust, going [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Irrepressibles – Mirror Mirror</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mirror Mirror is an album by The Irrepressibles that will startle and surprise a lot of people, but for me, it&#8217;s also one of the year&#8217;s best albums so far.
The Irrepressibles themselves are a ten-piece unit that aren&#8217;t so much a band but more of a mini-orchestral ensemble, lead by Jamie McDermott, who not only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Song Analysis: The Futureheads – Heartbeat Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Some bands don&#8217;t need to do a lot to be continually adored by their fans and critics alike. If their style is so good and catchy then why bother changing things dramatically as long as you can continue to write good songs? The Futureheads are a band who have been masters of the British post-punk [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fyfe Dangerfield &#8211; Fly Yellow Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The world of pop music, which is ever-changing in trends and fashions every hour of every day it seems, is an incredibly fickle one. For one thing, there is the injustice of a songwriter who tries so long to break into the upper echelons,deserves to in fact, and is unrelenting in his/her attempt to breakthrough.

		<title>Five Songs: Paul Weller</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Woking is not a great place to live, truth be told. I live between there and Guildford and whilst the latter is quite pretty and full of wonderful things to look and  at, the former isn&#8217;t really much of those things. The recession has, admittedly, wrecked a lot of business in the area and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Abbey Road post that never was</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here I was, ready to type a post about why Abbey Road studios, a building that was reportedly under threat and rumoured to be sold by EMI, should be saved. As it turned out, the reports were completely untrue. EMI published a statement on Sunday saying that the building will remain under their ownership, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marina And The Diamonds &#8211; The Family Jewels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Marina Diamandis, aka Marina And The Diamonds and part-Welsh/part-Greek, is definitely a person who quite likes to mix honest and blunt songwriting with pop music that is just a bit OTT and a bit dramatic in nature. That is what brings us to The Family Jewels, her debut LP following a string of successful EPs [...]]]></description>
