This track was a collaboration between the spoken word artist Joshua Idehen, now of Benin City and dan le sac, better known for his part in the duo that is dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip. Cupid on Dylan is essentially a monologue on behalf of the Roman god of love Cupid although it spins a more interesting, alternative character than is usually told. The poem is lain over a remix by dan le sac of Dylan’s The Times Are a-Changing. It doesn’t really kick in properly until the 1:30 mark but it’s an amazing track nevertheless.
Laura Marling is set to release her second full length studio album in March 2010. The album, recently given the title ‘I Speak Because I Can’ was produced by Ethan Johns. At one point, this second album was to have a medieval theme to it but Marling later revoked this idea.
‘Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)’ was released 14th December. First played on tour a year ago, the song is just as apt this winter with much of England currently under snow. Marling aired the track on BBC 6 Music in November along with another track Made a Maid which might also be on the upcoming album.

They’ve been working on ‘The Diary of a Falling Man’ for two years now and have kept the recording process truly independent with no budget, building the recording studio in a ramshackle sharehouse and commandeering a Steinway piano for a guerilla recording session.

The first single from the debut will be ‘Air Filter’ (released 23rd November 2009). It’s a largely instrumental track but unlike most bands that veer on the experimental side of music, Special Benny keep a remarkably polished sound.
