Jazz-Trance Formatting
An utterly selfish post dedicated to mine own blog this morning: Jazz Biscuits thinks orange and blue fonts are yuk and I should stick to clean black. To absolve my conscience and provide you with examples:
Queen Kong posted a video from their launch of new single So Brand New at Kennedys’ on Feb 28. The song Death Threat features Leanne Harte getting feisty on lead guitar to QK’s spontaneous thrashing. I’m all for mix’n'matching but that’s one diverse collaboration…
Anyone else hooked on Drop-D right now? I spent a sweet few hours this weekend rummaging ’round the annals of the site, catching up on their forum-goss and latest interviews from ASIWYFA, Butterfly Explosion and Captain Moonlight…all three of those bands are set for fine times with the Northern rockers receiving raves for Saturday’s show in Galway, the Captain’s going old-school in The Cobblestone on Friday and Butterflies explode back into gigging at AC30 in Whelans this weekend with the eagerly-awaited (on my part for sure!) premiere of their new drummer!
If you buy anything this week, it should be schoolbooks for Cameroon (according to the relentless flood of messages on Facebook - am I the only one bored of this vacuous, necessary waste of time?) but *I* think you should buy this:
The Jane Bradfords - Self-Titled Debut Album

So whaddya think regarding fonts? Is orange harsh, does royal blue offend your sensibilities? Do I go NayNay Winehouse and revert back to black? You know what to do….
