• Singles Review : Dead Sons, Hey Sholay, Fashoda Crisis, Ohnomoon, I am Kloot, Letting up despite great faults, Wild Swim, Crowns, Deaf Club

    Greetings, readers! I was kicked out of an artsy fartsy gig the other day. Why? I dunno, but one day I’ll reveal the truth and it will be as massive as Wikileaks, but with more kebabs and less sexual harassing (alleged or not). Why am I not allowed to walk into a venue wearing noodles? I…

  • Eli Mardock – Everything happens for the first time

  • The White Album – Conquistador

  • Baby steps: Karate

    Baby steps is our “introduction to…” column. Yes, there might be a few Bill Murray fans here. This week’s instalment is courtesy of Simon Roberts. The subject? Read on… 

  • Invitation – West Street Live gig, October 21st

    Hey, hi, we’d like to extend a courteous invitation to all you lovely readers to our last ever gig. We’ve had a fun run, but we’ve decided to stop. As we need to go out with a bang, we are organising a charity gig with Great Deeds (who also will be launching their EP, Disastrochimp),…

  • Wake up to Twin River

    Some rightfully folky (with psychedelic dabbling) noises from Twin River in this track, ‘Can’t keep this alive’. Check the sweet panoramas of Canada and relish the apparition of the güiro, the only instrument I can play in real life!

  • Short Story: Why I don’t drink whiskey any more

  • Cuento Corto : Los Macheteros

    Me dicen “Chocolate” desde que tengo uso de razón, creo que por el gusto desmedido de mis padres por la Sonora Santanera. Mucha gente cree que aquello de “toma chocolate, paga lo que debes” hace referencia al cacao, pero no es así. Chocolate, con C mayúscula, era el apodo de uno de los amigos de…

  • Negative Pegasus – Psychic Energy

  • Wake up to Psychic Twin

    The dreamy sounds emanating from the speakers are courtesy of the shoegaze and electronica cocktail that Psychic Twin makes so well. In fact, it’s so good that Brian Flanagan retired from cocktail making. Psychic Twin will be releasing more lovely stuff soon and frankly we can’t wait! Psychic Twin Facebook. Bandcamp. Twitter.
