A couple of weeks ago Artrocker asked us to edit their website for them. A few hundred years ago Kublai Khan asked Marco Polo to explore his empire for him. Kublai sat on his throne in Mongolia and ordered Marco to come back with loads of great stories. Marco just wanted to go home to Italy but Kublai was the ruler of the world so he couldn’t. It’s just the same.
Marco went to all the different parts of the world and came back and tried to tell Kublai what he saw. In the end Kublai got bored and said, -what about if I just describe things and you tell me if they exist? It worked much better.
So now, this week, and for one week only, XX Teens are going to go and find loads of things to tell Artrocker about until they go back to doing it themselves. We haven’t had many ideas yet but here’s just a few of the things we probably won’t do:
Dr. Jorgen Raa, Rock Doctor –Raa solves all of your emotional, physical, psychological and sexual problems with his pioneering doctor rock therapy.
The Old XX Teens? –Champion Jesse James look-a-like William Morrow hunts down Lou Reed, John Cale and the rest to ask if the comparisons go any deeper than sunglasses.
Mumble in the Jungle –Rich Cash meets copycat upstart Mark E Smith for the final word in pronunciation.
Hip! Hip! Hip-Hopera! – Anthony Silvester continues his popular campaign to get R Kelly back in the director’s chair for at least another 200 chapters.

Best new band in Glasgow, by a mile!
...Any more snooker cliches?
...Second track sounds like a more snarly mid-60s Who. Excellent.
...First one sounds like Sean Ryder having a flashback but second track is a killer.
...once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copehagen?
...The more I watch it, the more I like it.
...Sex on Fire is good once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copenhagen

iLiKETRAiNS recommend Leeds band This Et Al. A band with, apparently, 'riffs as heavy as sin'...

Artrocker.com: Glasgow's a pretty hot city at the moment. I was up there just this weekend. What do you think is making Glasgow bands so hot right now?

Which 8-bit console is for you?
Gone are the days of 8-bit video gaming japes with video games systems the size of your grandma's weak bladder and here are the days of CGI online frag fests and vile goring of...
Now then, Devendra Banhart. I've always liked his beard, but not his music. However, his new collaboration with Greg Rogrove - called Megapuss - is rather good.
...
The Bumps come highly recommended in the latest Alfonzo Demo Kitchen column. They're rated 'LCD laced sugar cubes' by the moustachioed culinary one.

Sources close to the band have leaked this fantastic, exclusive new demo track from The Thermals.
