  • The Inventor

    “Your head is full of great ideas, use them!”. So I read from a fortune cookie when I was 8 and ever since, I’ve followed its homespun knowledge, religiously. Now I’m 52 and the people from the building where I’ve been living since I was a kid knows me as ‘the inventor’, although I’d rather…

  • El Inventor

    “Tienes la cabeza llena de nuevas ideas ¡úsalas!” Eso me dijo una galleta de la suerte a los 8 años y desde entonces no he dejado de hacerle caso. Ahora tengo 52 y la gente del edificio donde viví desde pequeño me conoce como “el Inventor” aunque yo prefiero que simplemente me llamen por mi…

  • Singles review – Week of June 6

    Lumiere – Almadoble Brand new singles by this Mexican band, finding them on that deadly, uncharted ground of pop with strange existential lyrics about doppelgangers and the identity of the man on the other side of the mirror of your soul.

  • Paving Stones – Trojan Horse

  • Interview – Shipping News

    Shipping News are a band from Louisville, Kentucky. Their sound is equal parts post rock, punk and hardcore elements. Last year, they released a monster of an album called One less heartless to fear (shameless plug – review) and we loved it quite a bit. Since we (Tonan & Sam) are unabashed fans of the…

  • In defence of: Doctor Who and the Savages

    Editors’ preamble (ramble): During the 1970s, the BBC, under the order of Pamela Nash, followed a policy of wiping and decommission of a lot of their archives (due to various reasons). Amongst the several tapes to meet a nasty end there were several episodes of Dr. Who. There are surviving photographs as John Cura, a…

  • Agony Aunt Sock – 11

    Jonny’ll fix it … or he’ll fix you is Sloucher’s own “Agony Aunt” section. These are true cases, but the identities of those involved were changed to protect them.
