An interesting cover of the Cedar Room by Kitteh Fur. I really like it! To be featured on a covers album, blurb on that below:
‘C44’ is a collection of exclusive covers concocted patiently to celebrate the twentieth birthday of French monthly magazine ‘Magic, Revue Pop Moderne’. Made in honor of our former executive editor Christophe Basterra. ‘C44’ tape will be released physically by the indie label Orchid Tapes with two new exclusive covers added.

A few off the top of my head that should be on the list somewhere..
The Cedar Room
How Soon Is Now
Ever Falling In Love
Fools Gold
There Goes The Fear
This Is How It Feels
Atmosphere
Hymn From A Village
Age of Consent
Looking From A Hilltop (Restructure)

With thanks to Nick Yates (aka Substance) we have added Some Cities to the Tablature section of the blog. Nick is currently working his way through Doves catalogue, we previously brought to you the Best Of tabs, Lost Souls & The Last Broadcast. Up next will be Kingdom Of Rust then all the b-sides, lost sides pretty much everything else really.
The tabs are designed so that you can strum along to Doves tracks. The tabs may not reflect exactly how Doves play the songs as some of the recordings are detuned and they are designed so that you don’t have to be Jez or play a right-handed guitar upside down to enjoy them!
With thanks to Daniel Olvera, we have added lyrics to the 2010 version of Blue Water. See what you think, let us know if you agree/disagree!

As I mentioned a couple weeks back Doves would be featured on the new Manchester Aid to Kosovo compilation album. ‘Ten’ will feature 10.03 which I presume to be the regular version taken from Kingdom Of Rust. You can order the album at the Ten website here. CD/Ticket bundles are also available for the charity launch gigs in London & Manchester.
Celebrating another year online here at DMB HQ! What a way to celebrate, with many thanks to Tarquin for providing a flac of Doves set from Llandudno back in August 2003. The show was a warm up for the Reading/Leeds festivals that weekend. Was a great show, the support came from the fantastic My Morning Jacket. The show included new tracks One Of These Days (previously played at Glasto earlier in the year) and the debut of The Machine which you can hear above. The Machine obviously has not seen light of day since, so enjoy the audio!
I mentioned the other week Doves are featured on the latest Q mag cover CD. You will find the disc on copies of Q mag Febuary 2011. There Goes The Fear as advertised being from a Q session in 2005 is actually taken from the Capitol Tower Session recorded in June 2002, previously available on a US The Last Broadcast promo. Still its a gem of a recording, so if you don’t already have it, go get a copy. The album also features some great live performances from the likes of Cherry Ghost, Athlete & The Charlatans among others.
Manchester Aid to Kosovo today announced details of a compilation album titled Ten which is to be released April 4th on Sideways Saloon. Ten features music from Doves, as well as the likes of Elbow and Cherry Ghost among others. The 18 track album is curated by Jo Dudderidge of the excellentThe Travelling Band.
Ten is the follow up to the compilation album Cohesion, which was released 10 years ago which featured the Doves track Valley.
No word on a track listing as yet, will post up more details as I have it. The album will be launched with shows at the Manchester Deaf Institute (April 4th) and London’s Union Chapel (April 7th).
In the UK right now at Tescos there is a special edition of Q magazine. The attached CD features a live acoustic version of There Goes The Fear taken from a Virgin live session back in 2005. The CD also features the likes of Cherry Ghost, The Charlatans among others. Just ordered a copy myself, so will let you know more when I get it.
Check out this acoustic session featuring the Fear & Caught By The River from 2002.

As promised with thanks to Nick Yates aka Substance, we have added The Last Broadcast to the tablature section of the blog. Nick is currently working his way through Doves catalogue, we previously brought you the Best Of & Lost Souls tabs.
The tabs are designed to be played on a guitar and may not be the exact way doves play the songs, but are Nick’s interpretation of them. We invite you to submit any corrections where necessary.
Happy New Year to you all. Thank you for all the messages via email, twitter, facebook etc over the Christmas break.
Later this week I will be adding to the guitar tabs section to include all of The Last Broadcast. For now, one of my favourite remixes from the Last Broadcast by Magnet ..
Its that time of year again! It has been another busy year for the blog. We got a Best of ‘The Places Between’ with new songs including the studio version of Blue Water. A ton of live shows then of course the Live at Eden album.
We finished the year off with the first Doves tribute album Echoes in the Alleyway with all the proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. So far the project has raised £800.64! So a big thank you to all involved and to everyone who has donated. Will attempt to tip it over the £1000 mark in the new year.
The highlight for me personally was obviously seeing Doves live back home in the UK. The Glasgow Academy show especially will live long in the memory.
So a big thank you to Doves for another memorable year! Also a big thank you to all of you who contributed to keeping the blog up to date with setlists, links etc. Without it all the blog would be nothing so thank you!
Not sure what to expect next year. A few dates in Australia for Doves in February, after that who knows? Whatever, whenever you can be sure to read about it on here.
Merry Christmas to you all, eat lots, be merry and be safe.
