How Do You Feel About Long Goodbyes
I don't know if Redcoat Turncoat's debut CD How Do You Feel About Long Goodbyes? is actually a concept album about a bunny rabbit and it's hunter, but I like to think that it is. The gently strummy 'The Ballad of Baby Bunny'-with it's muttered, Kurt Wagner-ish vocals-obviously fits the plot, and the ominous 'The Collector,' with it's slashing chorus of 'I'm gonna hunt you down' (voiced by Kusikia's Nsayi Matingo), sounds like it's sung with rifle in hand. Elsewhere, there's Kinks-y pop tunes, meandering guitar ballads, and a 12-minute epic in the form of the shoegazey 'OK.' It's a weird and charming record, with all the different pieces fitting together like a hodgepodge, and it's best moments are the simplest ones that fit into the overall theme. It's almost like a sloppier, homegrown version of the Magnetic Fields' highbrow tunesmithing, and it leads directly to the very important question: Well, what do these guys sound like live? Tonight's the perfect opportunity to find out. NED LANNAMANN Portland Mercury.- Shop: odax

The Snooty Bookshop
Tom Gauld has created countless iconic strips for the Guardian over the course of his illustrious career. A master of condensing grand, highbrow themes into panel comics, his weekly strips embody his trademark sense of humour while simultaneously opening comics to an audience unfamiliar with the artistry that cartooning has to offer. Funny but serious, these comics allow Gauld to put his impressive knowledge of history, literature and pop culture on full display - his impeccable timing and distinctive visual style setting him apart from the rest.This postcard set celebrates more than a decade of Gauld's contributions to the Guardian, with fifty of his most beloved strips, on everything from Samuel Beckett's sitcom pitches (such as Waiting for Kramer, a show where two men await the arrival of a man named Kramer who never comes), 'Procrastination for Creative Writers, a 10-Week Course' and 'Poetry Anthologies for People Who Don't Like Poems'. Witty and beautifully drawn, The Snooty Bookshop will make you laugh at least fifty times, guaranteed.- Shop: odax
