Yachtless

Barrie (left) & Shawn at home

When producer & all round multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee from Young Gun Silver Fox (my go-to yacht rockers) recently hooked up with Barrie Cadogan (he of Little Barrie and, sometimes, Primal Scream), you just knew that alchemy couldn't be far away. A lot of guitars. A lot of soul. A lot of surprises too. Together they're known as Ultrasonic Grand Prix and the resulting album is called Instafuzz. This is the opening track. It's groovy. No other word for it.

It's all good

If I had to take an educated guess, a wild stab in the dark if you will, it's probably safe to say that a fairly high percentage of my readership is familiar with Breaking Bad. That being the case, I'm also assuming (a dangerous word, I know), that the majority of that demographic will also be acquainted with its delicious spin-off series Better Call Saul.

I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't yet found Season 1 over on Netflix, other than to say it's every bit as good as its theme tune played by Nottingham band Little Barrie. Season 2 is promised for 2016. Man, that's gonna drag.
