  • N.E.R.D. vs. G.E.E.K.

    First of all, talking about N.E.R.D. is talking about Hip-Hop and Rap, so why don’t I start there? Because today it is all about dubstep (and stuff) and no one doesn’t really understand where that came from. Oh well, since every guy that “seems to know” about electronic music is talking about genres, I’m going…

  • An 80s night at The Forum

    Mirrors @ The Forum 4/8/10 An evening of righteous electronic music was had at the cozy little bar that is The Forum in Sheffield, courtesy of a lively duo from Leeds and a well-dressed quartet from Brighton. It all started out with Detronik, an electronic duo from Leeds who skillfully strut their stuff on stage.…

  • La donera del Viaducto

    (This post is available in English) Todos los días veo los mismos rostros y las mismas caras (que no son lo mismo, rostro es el fondo, cara es la forma) La señora que se va maquillando, el oficinista de corbata, el hombre harto de la vida, los estudiantes que ya van tarde a clases, la…

  • Viaducto’s donut dealer

    (This post is available in Spanish) Every day I see the same faces and the same looks (they are not the same; face is the shape, look is the form). The lady applying make-up, the office drone in a tie, the guy fed-up with life, the tardy students, the prissy miss in a luxury car,…

  • The Sunday Soapbox – 2

    Editor’s note : As you know by now, head honcho and loony extraordinarie Quinto was stuck in Bristol. This is a serialised story of his return to Sheffield – M. Part 1 : A disgraceful comeback So I was in a coach back from Bristol, still clutching on a red sweater, when a stinky arse…

    M.Ward – ‘Let My Love Open the Door (To Your Heart)’ (Pete Townshend cover): This is just a lovely cover to lull and ease you into the day…think happy thoughts. PM

  • That day, it drizzled before the interview

    The Twilight Sad – Interview The Twilight Sad is pretty particular beast. They swagger some great music, coupled with a visual motif in most fof their albums’ artwork. After a very intense show in Tramlines 2010, I was set to interview them and, frankly, was worried about this. Some of their videos and album covers…

  • Wake up song -138

    I’m really enjoying ‘Serotonin’ – it’s got this poppy, synthy 80’s vibe that the Mystery Jets can really pull off. Here’s the video to the latest single and, if you can ignore the girl that looks like the love child of Claudia Winkleman and Liz Hurley in drag, it’s pretty entertaining. Enjoy! – Misky p.s. They should…

  • Wake up song -137

    My FAVOURITE new band at the moment. Straddling the gap between Crystal Castles, Bikini Kill and complete chaos and lunacy, Sleigh Bells are completely addictive not to mention the fact that they’ve got their A machines on the table, their B machines in the draw. Organised or what?! PM

  • Review – KiN (demos)

    While we wait for the proper review of KiN‘s first EP ‘…’, here’s a quick review of the first batch of demos contained in their Myspace: No outline The intro is great, with the little droning buzz being a little canvas where samples and the “goat voiced girl” start improvising. There’s some moody stuff, but…
