The Destructor Form is delicious!
From the moment we saw that giant, smiling Destroyer of Worlds, our sweet tooth called out for revenge. Revenge for the bits of New York crushed. Revenge for the . . . ok, so not really revenge – we just wanted marshmallows. And even Walter Peck being covered in blobs of melted mallow man weren’t enough to crack our craving. It’s taken over 25 years, but we finally have the stuff that childhood dreams are made of: Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows!
Two major things to note about these sugary mallows of awake-ti-tude: First, they are gourmet. Delicate and delicious. Second, they are licensed collectibles, which for a marshmallow is pretty awesome. Third, Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows come in a marshmallowy-feeling box – a nice reusable keepsake. And finally, fourth: Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows are CAFFEINATED! Big time. You feel it as soon as you suck one down. Take that giant marshmallow man; we’re eating your eggs one by one. So get some Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows now, relive the 80s, stay awake forever, and satiate the need for sugary revenge.

Two door cinema club – tourist history
I bloody love this album, most people will know ‘This is the life’ but the whole album is fantastic
The Heavy – The house that dirt built
Pete introduced me to these guys, think 50% Zutons, 25% James Brown, 20% BRMC, 5% Amy Winehouse.
Stornoway – Beachcombers Windowsill
Riding on the current nu-folk revival, very pleasant music for a relaxed afternoon – see http://tinyurl.com/34tkmq8
Beach House – Teen Dream
Been around for a while, the third album is quite sublime, band hails from Baltimore
produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear)
Four Tet – There is love in you (aka Kieran Hebden)
Not my normal style of music (electronic) but hugely inventive, he’s been around for a while but I have really only started listening to him recently, reminds me of Lamb (the band not the meat) real fusion of sounds.
Other mentions
Band of Horses – Infinite Arms
LCD Soundsystem – This is Happening
and of course Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
