No one knows how Monkton and Plankton came to detest each other, but it is a long-established fact that predates history itself. This blog is their battleground.

Monkton Vs Plankton is a tribute to excruciatingly, achingly fantastic music - to the eclectics of sound in the digital age and the vibrantly unique experience of discovery. It probably won't be the first place you hear about the next big thing - the internet is very LARGE and no one is giving out prizes - but hopefully it will add to the collective addiction we all share. Monkton Vs Plankton is heartbreakingly silly and side-splittingly serious. And it is here, whenever you need it.

Monkton: Hear ye hear ye hear ye some of this

There’s a lot of love going round for ‘Surf Solar’ at the moment, admittedly less reserved for its edited down errr ‘radio-friendly’ counterpart than the original ear-trembling masterpiece that opens play on Tarot Sport, and since I know a good band wagon when I see one, I thought I’d share it in all its naked glory. Seems to me Fuck Buttons are pushing the same fuck buttons here as Soap&Skin’s oh so special ‘DDMMYYYY’, but further much much further - which is what it takes to touch your soul as well as your aural G-spot. But don’t blame me for all this lascivious chat - I’m not the first to dirrrty talk ‘Surf Solar’ and there seems enough suggestible material hereabouts to take reign over my better judgment - for one I still can’t shake that Soap&Skin press ph oto… oh my.
