brothers on the side…nearest faraway place
January 31, 2008
Okay so you all know the routine…
Getting back to my series on the great blogs in my sidebar, I introduce you to The Nearest Faraway Place. They are the people I would be if I could be two people. Looking at their site I may as well retire, as all the music I would like to post but don’t get around to, or will be posting at some point in the future - they already done done it, dammit! Looking at their myspace page, I don’t need to create one. They have all the friends I would have anyway.
I’ve been watching since they started out and have been really impressed by their consistency. If you don’t go to their blog regularly, you should have words with yourself.

A TRACK FOR THE READERS OF INNERSOUNDS…
KPM – Theme from Superstars – a great track, proper anything goes stuff, an anthem from our old ‘ou est the poulet?’ club night, will probably wind up the purists which is always a bonus…
Fuzz Against Junk - Born Under Punches - an old Nuphonic release, FAJ covering the old Talking Heads classic, got all the right ingredients for us; David Byrne/Brian Eno/Nuphonic and a long dubbed out Harvey remix with loads of distorted guitars and spacey percussion, think Ashley Beedle had a hand in this too, great stuff.

Many thanks to Jez for including us in this series, there’s some really clued up, really nice people on this list; great to find out a bit more about them. When’s Jez going provide his own answers to the questions? He’s still a bit of an enigma to me!
I really like the layout and colors that you chose for this website! It certainly is incredible!
