Undeterred by the resounding silence that greeted his first videoblogs, Punk Sanderson raises his game even higher with the videoblogs of Chronicle the Second.

The venues become even more exotic as Punk gives us his particular brand of high-octane, breathless storytelling from a jacuzzi, while brushing his teeth, from inside a motorcycle helmet – anywhere his life takes him. The music business as you have never known it before. Another 36 short episodes perfect for those boring moments at work (until, of course, your boss overhears Punk’s more colourful expletives emerging from your computer and suggests you seek employment elsewhere. But then you were bored at work anyway).

As ever, these videoblogs are also available as audiobooks, graphic novels, ebooks, Dead Sea scrolls, morse code, semaphore, smoke signals… and even just on plain old paper.

So what do you get? Nothing less than fourteen songs featuring The Vicar’s unique string and chamber pop, played by some of the world’s outstanding musicians. By contrast, continuing his lifelong passion for unearthing new or undervalued talent, The Vicar throws the vocal microphone to emerging singers spotted at small venues or on the internet and lesser-known cult favourites.

The songs go everywhere pop songs should – Gay bars in New York (Man with a Woman), Adolescence (Twenty Two), Moonstruck love (The Moony Song), Vanity (That Boy’s Not Cool), Nostalgia (Childhood Days) – and a few places they probably shouldn’t – a world without belief (San Manuel. Lonely Sunday), a mother coping with the death of a child (Count Your Blessings), and the simply surreal (Inside my Head).

The surround sound version of the album has already been heralded by the sonic supremos at Dolby Sound labs as “the future of high-definition music.” What do you think?
