Interview // Chad Valley

Newsday number 1; IN THE BAG! I celebrated early by going to Resident Advisor X WHP on Saturday (It was my last one of the year, pass the tissues :'( ), I had a rad time meeting the three up- for-a-rave Irish chaps we found in Room 1 during Apparat and a group of wonderful new Manchester faces' of whom made me feel very welcome indeed, never feeling so happy as I did during 90% of Orbital's set and bouncing off the walls on my own to Julio Bashmore! I also did philly cheese steaks and mulled cider with FreedomSpark Katie and went to see Passion Pit with my lovely Jadey who came to the city for the evening earlier on in the month; we swooned, caught up on life by being overly girly and drank too many pints before I had to go to work, ooops! But I did manage to Interview the  terrific Hugo Manuel of Chad Valley who also played. We talked "A&R vultures" and their attempts to wine and dine him along with one crazy night in Paris; it was great to speak to the man behind the falsetto as 'Equatorial Ultravox' is definitely up there in my fave EP's of 2011. Anyway, it's all over on Noisey here, ch-ch-ch-check it out!

Freedom Spark Playlist // November

November, you're here! I've welcomed in the month by eating too much sushi (is there ever such a thing?), visiting a photobooth made famous by Jarvis Cocker, listening to the new Foals track repeatedly and extended cab rides in minus temperatures on bonfire night. This month is going to be quick, exciting, stressful and straight-up peachy continued by a Death Grips and Wet Nuns show tonight! Oh yeah, and my new (second to last ever, SOB) playlist is now up here on Freedom Spark featuring Jai Paul, Danny Brown, Churches, Metz, Holy Other and the return of Chad Valley...
