  • Interview – Joe Volume

    Back in September, we reviewed the album Lonesome water, lonely sea by Joe Volume, who we’ve been following for a while (both on twitter and music terms). The last few months seemed to have been a rollercoaster in the life of this musician and we wanted to drop him a couple of questions by email. Without any further…

  • Singles Reviewed : Screaming Maldini, Yokozuna, Pinback, Silver Arm, Picardy III, Taffy

    Greetings, readers! Sorry if the intro is curt, but we are in an emotional groove and we can’t get out. Singles (or stuff we decided it was singles):

  • The Lost Gem : Mad Season – Above

    1994. A typical coffee shop in Seattle, Washington has four friends in the table looking like the world has crushed them. In way, it has. One of them is the lead guitarist of a highly successful band that’s in a the midst of a lawsuit with Ticketmaster. Another one is a blues bassist who met…

  • Tales of the Pill Generation : Enjoy the silence

    (Editor’s note: this is part of an upcoming book called The Fall and Decline of the Pill Generation) It was a very hard time for me. Not in school, though, it was kinda OK back then, I wasn’t the whipping boy for the rest of the classroom in 1990. That was Rubén’s job, it seems.

  • Short Story : Since he left

    I am sitting between your legs, leaning back against your chest. I thread my fingers through yours over my stomach and you gently kiss my neck before resting your head on my shoulder. I smile.

  • Cuento Corto : La Piedra de Guatemala

    “¡Pasen! ¡Pasen a verla! Es la inigualable, la única, ¡La siempre mágica! ¡La Piedra de Guatemala! Esa que fue recuperada de la tumba de Nuestro Señor Pakal y que ahora se encuentra entre nosotros iluminándonos con su poder ¡Pase, acérquese y tómela en sus manos por sólo 50 pesos 15 segundos!”

  • Gig Review: Double No No, Canyon Family,Five Leaf Nettle @ The Washington

    ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (END) When my car finally gave up the ghost, I lost the plot, road trip ended. Slammed the door, kicked the wing and crossed the road to the nearest watering hole. 

  • Interview – Oxo Foxo

    A long, long time ago, I met Oxo Foxo and her legal team at G2 Studios. It was a strange, long interview (42 minutes) that was abruptly interrupted when a sensitive question was asked. It wasn’t even about her real name (it might not be Oxo Foxo, this is still unconfirmed), but more about the…

  • Comment: Criminalising social media is criminalising freedom of speech

    I’m confused by the news of late. Matthew Woods – 12-weeks in prison for posting grossly offensive posts relating to the missing April Jones. Azhar Ahmed – a two-year community order, including 240-hours community service, for posting on Facebook that ‘troops will die in hell’.
