Orphan Boy have played Glastonbur

Orphan Boy have played Glastonbury four times, twice under an alias. The orphans have a loyal fanbase, known formally as the Bebop Council Pop Orphanite Anti-Social Brigade, informally as the Orphanites and a record label that claims to be guided by the ghost of John Peel. As a band they have learnt to buy bananas from service stations to gain best value for money and, once, nearly froze to death sleeping in Soho Square in the middle of winter.In the wake of Shop Locals cult success, Orphan Boy began working on a new more melodic, more musical and more introspective direction working title of Lad Art.Passion, Pain & Loyalty was written for all the people who listen to records alone in their bedrooms and stare out of the windows late into the night It’s still got the energy and imagination of the first record, but the music is bigger this time It’s sharper, deeper and more accomplished We like to think that it could become one of the last great rock n’ roll records Which, for three scruffs from Grimsby, would be pretty good going But even if no one buys it, this record will always be a success to us, because our aim was to make a great album, and that’s what we did.

He has a way about his playing

He has a way about his playing that at low levels is delicious but, unusually for a singersongwriter, gets better as you turn the wick up and there is enough variety in his songs style to avoid the one-paced pitfalls that many others tend to fall into..Back To the Wild’ has echoes of the great British songwriters of yore while Land Of Dreams’ shuffles delightfully as the banjo kicks in but Cinderella’ kicks along with real punch and very sixties-mod sort of jaunty bounce. Standout number for me is For A Little While - it just seems to encapsulate all the good things about his writing and the playing is terrific.The word on Langhorne Slim has been that he is very much on the up and this album seems to confirm his arrival.It took some time to work him out but in the end it comes down to one simple fact – he writes good songs and plays them brilliantly.

The look is a bit more

The look is a bit more industrial, though that was hardly a surprise to attendees. Gizmodo is still sitting on a very hot seat for leaking the device, though plenty of details remained a mystery ahead of the presentation. A lot of you have already seen this, Jobs told the WWDC audience in San Francisco. But believe me, you aint seen it.A couple of iPhone apps were also showcased during the presentation. That included games from Guitar Hero and FarmVille, as well as a movie rental play from Netflix already available on the iPad. Overall, Apple has now sold over 5 billion apps, and paid developers $1 billion in the process, according to Jobs.And, up ahead, users will be treated to the now-named iOS 4, an update that enables multi-tasking, folders, and access to the iBooks app and iAd mobile advertising network The new iPhone hits June 24th, and will cost $199 for the 16GB version, and $299 for the 32GB version.
