Jamie Woon - Live at Boiler Room, London

With his celestial voice, ethereal future folk textures, and exceptional songwriting, Academy '08 alumnus Jamie Woon has become the undisputed voice of the post-dubstep generation. He first caught the attention of the likes of mystical producer Burial back in 2007, with his unearthly take on spiritual folk classic 'The Wayfaring Stranger'. Now signed to Polydor, and with one of the most eagerly anticipated album releases of 2011 under his belt, the future looks even brighter for this modern-day troubadour who just scored another massive underground hit with his captivating ode to nocturnal strolls, Night Air. This show was recorded at the official launch party for his debut LP 'Mirrorwriting' at London's Corsica Studios, in cooperation with Boiler Room. Just get yourself into these sounds for about two seconds, and you will know what the whole world is fussing about – including the BBC, who named Jamie one of the main artists to watch out for in their ‘Sounds Of 2011’ list. It's the year of the Woon!

BNP suffers election meltdown

As Billy Bragg just remarked over at Facebook:

Whatever the outcome of the AV referendum, we have something to celebrate today - The BNP have been heavily defeated across England. Well done to Hope Not Hate and everyone else who was out there campaigning against them. The massive blow which we struck against them this time last year looks like it may prove to have been terminal.
