Meet Aaron Biber....




Aaron Biber is an 89-year-old man from Tottenham who's been cutting hair for the past 41 years. And during last weekend's riots, his barbershop was destroyed.

And since he said he hasn't got insurance and he can't afford the repairs, the Internet stepped in and decided to give him a hand and help him rebuild.

I didn't realise this (single) existed


British folk musician Laura Marling is only 21, but she's been getting critical acclaim across the waters for the past three years. She's already put out two albums -- Alas, I Cannot Swim and I Speak Because I Can -- both of which were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.

Marling's style of folk is subtle, coming off in a more offhanded way that falls lightly on the years. But don't get us wrong -- her voice can pull you in like the best of 'em.

For her third album, A Creature I Don't Know -- which will be released Sept. 12 -- Marling plans to take her tour to cathedrals across the UK in October. Her first single off A Creature I Don't Know, "Sophia," even gets the cathedral treatment in her video.

Cute website


If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question.

Red Brick House



Red Brick House are an Irish band who are renowned for their hook-laden and impossibly catchy songs. The four-piece graced the stage at Bundoran Sea Sessions and The Rory Gallagher International Festival in 2010 and have been gigging steadily for a number of years. Hot Press magazine described them as ‘a band that blends quality with some unapologetic commercialism.’

Having played bars, backs of trucks, on top of pallets and even a castle along the way, Red Brick House have honed their live set into a harmony-driven brand of alternative pop, blues, folk as well as some wisely chosen covers. They are a band born of the playlist generation. Combining Indie Rock, Alt Pop, Blues, Noise and even Country with no set style to confine them. The group have also supported renowned Irish acts Codes and TĂșcan, and take their influence from The Raconteurs, Rolling Stones and Radiohead.

Their EP can be downloaded in full from Bandcamp.
