My intention for this blog is mainly to discuss things to do with freelancing, web design and web usability, but I’m fast starting to realise that it’s going to contain a fair bit of music news and other waffle too…

Now this is a big statement I know, seeing as it’s only January, but I think “Future of the left”:http://www.futureoftheleft.com/ just might be my band of 2008. Made up of ex-Mclusky and Jarcrew members, their debut album ‘Curses’ was released in September but I’ve only just discovered it and my what a pleasant find!

I won’t bother writing much else about them since my sentiments are pretty much in line with whats written about them over at the “undomondo”:http://www.undomondo.com/2007/09/future-of-the-left/ and “BBC Wales”:http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/future_of_the_left/pages/curses.shtml websites, but needless to say I think the album is brilliant and is going to sit quite comfortably amongst the Pixies, Fugazi and Jetplane landing ones already on my shelf.

At last a band that have restored my faith in music.
