Whats New?

Gorillaz Video Screening : Gathered in a small studio in London’s Soho, you have to wonder what could possibly be so impressive about the new Gorillaz video that Britain’s journalists have been shepherded together for a screening. New single “On Melancholy Hill”...
Introducing : Glass Animals : www.4ortherecord.com hit fever pitch this weekend when not 1 but 2 new tracks from the incredible Glass Animals graced our inbox with their presence...
David's Lyre : Masked troubadour, David's Lyre is, like his semi-hidden aesthetic, somewhat of a mystery at present. Although if fairness exists in the world at all...
Frankie & The Heartstrings : Interview : Sometimes, (not often mind), you go to see a band with a vague sense of expectation, born from nothing more than early releases and odd pieces of press, only for, by some twist of fate, this band you considered “fairly decent” until now to prove one of the...
Lunar Youth : Interview : Lunar Youth make the kind of music that makes your heart skip a beat as the emphasis on romance engulfs you in a warm flurry of emotion. It’s really rather lovely. Their nostalgic take on pop, reminiscent of the 80’s penchant for...


Robert Leeming

ROBERT LEEMING

Uhm, I'm Robert Leeming, I can write an intolerable amount of nonsense about other people, but I come over all shaky and lethargic, when I have to write something about me.  I’m gifted that way.

I live in a particularly unromantic town called Shaw, a staging post for people trying to get to Manchester, the place to be they say but I’m not so sure.

My musical hero’s are Scott Walker (who I thought I saw on a bus once eating chips), Morrissey, Bill Fay, Caetano Veloso,(Brazilian guy, likes reggae and Portobello Road), my next door neighbour who can play Dave Brubeck songs with chopsticks, Chet Baker (2am music for the heartbroken), everybody in Wilco (except the drummer) and Burt Bacharach (seriously). I fell in love with Marianne Faithful recently too, for some unknown reason and it was all rather improper.

I went to the University of Salford, the place that inspired Marx and Engles to plot revolutions and caused Morrissey's misery.  Oh and I’m also kind of a freelance journalist, I'd say I was a music journalist but..haha...Ive got to eat.
