It’s not for the cock it’s for our domain.
Sep 18th
Dear readers,
This is just a short note to inform you all of our new address www.itsnotforthecock.co.uk
The old dlpwd address will still work but if you can’t be bothered to type in those seemingly meaningless letters you now need not.
Hurray!
Also, some of the more astute of you will notice there is now an ad on the right hand side. We want you all to know that none of the writers currently receive any revenue from this: it all goes directly to pay for our server and domain (and it is unlikely that even this is enough). The reason I tell you this is that we don’t want you to think that we’re doing this for the money – we are not. We only write about music because we love it, it’s for the music.

Who's Next - The Who
Does anyone remember their youth? When a good friday night was cheap booze at a dirty party. When you’d hook up with that girl every week. When emotions were as powerful and as short lived as a tsunami. As the youngest member of this super-charged team of bloggers, I remember this well. In fact, now I think about it, all that stuff was still going on last week.
“We don’t care about your reminiscing though. Get onto the long-awaited new installment of Retro Sunday,” I hear you say (quite rudely, if you ask me). Well, let me introduce Who’s Next, the musical incarnation of teenhood, a shimmering rose-tinted mirror held up to the very institution of youthfulness. To summarise, a pretty sound album.
It’s not for the cock, it’s for Sonic and he’s BUZZING!

Sonic the Hedgehog has been popping Chaos Emeralds all night and has spent the last 3 hours sweating PowerRings out all over the hip new club, GreenHillzzz.

It’s not for the cock, it’s for alphabetical perfection
Nov 16th
Have you ever tried to look for perfection? Something which can’t be improved by anything at all. The best of its kind. The very thing all others like it strive to be. Like Reenie Hollis is to the group of attractive female bassists. Well, in Daft Punk‘s One More Time I have found perfection. I’m not saying it’s the perfect song (that’d be silly). No no, this is the perfect p.

In the last three days we have received over 1300 hits. There are clearly many of you out there reading what we think about music. I’d rather you than me.

Music has for too long involved musical instruments. They are cliche now. Other art forms have evolved from their traditional media. Art is no longer just paintings and sculptures, it can be created from dustbins and syringe: elements with meaning to our lives.

When watching The Long Blondes, like I was this weekend at Leeds Festival, it is easy to focus your attention on frontwoman Kate Jackson. Yes she is energetic, yes she is dramatic, but is the really the best Long Blonde? More >
It’s not for the cock, it’s for when the folk band playing outside H+M get a recording contract
Jul 8th
Lindisfarne isn’t a band concerned with reality. Songs about actual events are far too obvious and cliche. No, the band whose first album was titled Nicely Out of Tune, reminisce about times that never were and yearn to go home to somewhere you’ve never been.

Paul Simon – Graceland
It was with amazement that a friend of mine, who is neither ignorant nor uncultured, confessed to having never heard of Paul Simon and to not being able to name a song by Simon and Garfunkel. It is to him therefore that I dedicate this entry/cultural lesson/period of enlightenment.
It’s not for the cock, it’s for their worst gig ever (apparently)

Sky Larkin -Dot2Dot Festival – Nottingham – 27th May 2007
Sky Larkin is definitely a favourite of mine, and of the blog-team as a whole. Thus, it’s with a heavy heart and much dismay that I don’t give this gig the glowing review that a band of their calibre deserve. Thankfully, with such high expectations it doesn’t matter too much when they fall slightly short. More >

Steve Winwood – Arc of a Diver
Steve Winwood is a fantastic soul musician. He’s not from Detroit. He’s not from Memphis. He’s from Birmingham. He’s not even black. Guess what? It doesn’t matter in the slightest.
