| Afternoons Summer is fading: The leaves fall in ones and twos From trees bordering The new recreation ground. In the hollows of afternoons Young mothers assemble At swing and sandpit Setting free their children. Behind them, at intervals, Stand husbands in skilled trades, An estateful of washing, And the albums, lettered Our Wedding, lying Near the television: Before them, the wind Is ruining their courting-places That are still courting-places (But the lovers are all in school), And their children, so intent on Finding more unripe acorns, Expect to be taken home. Their beauty has thickened. Something is pushing them To the side of their own lives. Philip Larkin |

Hi there! I was wondering if you would consider posting an article of mine. It's about an up and coming jazz-electropop band about to enter mainstream this year. They are currently working with D.Bascombe, the producer/ mixer who has collaborated with Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Verve, Suede, etc.
The band plays jazz music but their songs are also classified under electronica. It's interesting how both jazz and electropop were merged into one by this band!
I am attaching a copy of the band's mp3. Tell me if you're interested in posting my article so that I can send it to you. Please contact me via doc_alma_jones [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thanks for your time!
Cheers,
A.J.
Thanks but no thanks A.J.
I daresay you've posted the same comment across a hundred other music blogs and if you were a regular reader you would realise that jazz-electropop isn't high up my list of listening pleasures.
Jazz Electropop, it is safe to say, sucks ass.
