  • Singles – Hey Sholay!, Toy Horses, Smashing Pumpkins and Humanfly

    It’s Friday (hey, where did the week go, uh?) and we have a veritable selection of songs we’ve listened, either because we like them or because we were bribed with Mars bars. God, I love Mars bars. But I digress… This week brings us: Hey Sholay!, Toy Horses, (the) Smashing Pumpkins and Humanfly. Read on.

  • Lost notes – 2

    Previously, on Lost Notes… Lost Notes – 2. When I was 13, I had an accident. I was in a big school. 3 floors, 12 big classrooms in each high rise floor. We had three playgrounds. One was a grassy soccer field, one was a gravel and tarmac triangle-shaped area with basketball courts and volleyball…

  • Mancunian musical radiation

    I am Kloot @ Leadmill, Sheffield October 6 2010 As previously stated in another review in this very site, it’s hard to detach yourself from the sometimes impossibly high expectations of a band you love and the show you get. Such is the case for I am Kloot, a band that took me into a…

  • Maps, Maths and Marmite

    Maps & Atlases – Perch Patchwork Listen to this album on spotify while reading the review. The skinny : Hit and miss. The review proper : Arguably, more hit than miss. An acquired taste of an album, probably.

  • Restless Times – A review

    Restless Times : Art in Britain 1914 – 1945 They say that misery drives art. I don’t know who “they” are nor can I muster up to say where I got that quote. For all I know, it’s something I just made up. There’s no worse misery in this world than the misery we inflict…

  • The Janitor

    The Janitor One day I shall have my revenge, and I feel that today, Tuesday, shall be that day. Today is the day that bastard eats the most. I know his schedule thanks to the consistency of his droppings, the colours stuck to the porcelain and the reckless use of toilet paper. My name is…

  • El Limpiabaños

    El Limpiabaños Algún día tendré mi venganza, y presiento que será hoy, martes. Este es el día que el desgraciado come más. He llegado a conocer su agenda por la consistencia de sus heces, por los colores que se pegan en la porcelana, por las cantidades inconscientes de papel de baño que utiliza.

  • Rollerpalooza (or the pros and cons of gravity, wheels and alcohol)

    It was a dark and stormy night. But then again, it is the start of the autumn season, so a slant towards “nippy” is expected. I met Pips and Rucks at Cream in Broomhill and after lying our ways into 1970 (portrayed by the Bingo Hall of Queens’ Social Club), we went into Rollerpalooza II.…
