• Dad Rocks – Mount Modern

  • Elvis Costello & The Imposters – Return of the spectacular spinning songbook

    The spectacular spinning songbook. A great idea. Have the setlist be decided by audience participation and mere chance. A great idea from Elvis Costello and, gathering from the fans and critics responses, a sucessful tour.

  • Dexterity Press

    Dexterity Press is a project set up by Kerri and Jeff (from a band we love called Shipping News). Working by commission on anything print related (CD/LP sleeves, packages, invitations, etc), they also do a lot of creative stuff.

  • Dan Sartain – Too Tough To Live

    A while ago we talked you about motherfucking Dan Sartain and his rockabilly ways. We did.
