Brainlove Records
Pagan Wanderer Lu, Napoleon IIIrd, Junkplanet + Applicants

Brainlove Records have been producing odd blasts of noise since 2003, including the likes of Piney Gir, Misty's Big Adventure and Spinmaster Plantpot, and 2006 was no different, with the launch of their fine 7" singles club (Pagan Wanderer Lu, Napoleon IIIrd, Shimura Curves, Tim Ten Yen) and their ace online tv channel Brainlove TV, featuring live footage, videos, exclusive songs, interviews and short films.

Inbetween all of this, Brainlove head honcho John somehow found the time to give us an interview. As did our current fave of the Brainlove crop, Pagan

Wanderer Lu, who we liked so much, we asked him to play at our

Orienteering for Oxjam gigs at The Good Ship.

Also floating our metaphorical boat was Shimura Curves' shiny

girl band pop, concocted from an array of talent better known for writing about music than for producing it,

but proving that they don't just talk a good game, but can mix it with the best of them onstage too.

Enough of the foreplay though, for today's musical treat, Brainlove have served up the following delicacies:

Pagan Wanderer Lu: Memorial Hall (XFM Xposure Session)
Napoleon IIIrd: Guys in Bands (live)
Junkplanet - SINK (Gameboy Remix)
Applicants - Love Sick (demo)
