Needs And What We Deserve

What do we really need in our lives? Why do we feel that we need it? Do we really deserve receiving our wishes? At what cost, to ourselves and to others? The questions are endless, especially as they touch upon every aspect of life, from relationships to diet, politics and the environment. How do we tackle them?

Let's start with a response from The March Greens, a Leeds, UK band formed around singer-songwriter Spencer Bayles (formerly of Last Night's TV). It is a very human, warm and calm approach which, like any good song, leaves room for more questions and a taste for more. I wrote about Last Night's TV in the past, and I'm glad to hear its former members continue to produce music.

Check out The March Greens on the official site, MySpace, last.fm and Facebook for more tracks and updates. The debut EP, You Shall Go to the Ball, is available on Amazon.

Featured Artist(s): Last Night's TV

It's almost a too obvious truth that there's nothing good to watch on TV these days. Between reality shows, sitcoms, game shows and the agenda filled news (and some particularly nasty and demagogy laden election TV ads these past two weeks), it's easy to understand why the poor tube now specializes in accumulating undisturbed dust.

But it was not always so. There was a time when Last Night's TV, a Leeds, UK indie/slowcore band, was alive and running, creating gentle and comforting music to deflect the outside noise. Alas, the band called it a day in late 2007 after 8 busy years and 4 albums. They are missed.
