About Me
- Ed
- A teacher by career choice, a music fan by instinct. In my thirties now, but I don't allow growing up to get in the way of enjoying things like music and film.

Want to get in touch?
The best way is by this blog's own email address:
seventeensecondsblog@hotmail.co.uk
I'm always up for featuring bands or artists on here, so get in touch. And if you represent one of the artists involved and would like me to remove the track, that's fine too (you will just lose some free publicity, as well as looking like Goliath picking on David).
The mp3s posted here are for a short time only, a maximum of two weeks and are intended for people to evaluate the music, and not as a replacement for buying music. If you like what you hear, support the artists involved by buying the music, and going to shows, buying T-shirts etc.
Some music I love-and think you should check out too

You've got to post Mogwai's "Xmas Steps' simply because it rocks!
Believe me, a Mogwai post is coming up!
Ed
Yes, thanks, Eduardo, I'm fine, after spending all morning slaving over a hot keyboard, putting together TWO Mogwai posts...and then I read this...could have saved myself the trouble!!!
My wife tells me this quirky and evocative song sounds like Kate Bush: what do you think?
Oh, sorry!! great minids think alike, I guess. Don't post 'we wish for you a protein Christmas' by The Fall, or Kate or Siouxsie in the next few weeks.
As for the song by The Knife; I do hear a bit of Kate in that song, though not necessarily in everything they do.
