  • The Amazing Sheffield Time Machine

    Mike Hughes + Bromheads @ City Library Theatre. Picture this: a sort of overcast theatre, in the lower entrails of a city library. The seats are of old fabric, their width is a little inappropriate for people of, er, expanded measurements and there’s 50-60s rock and roll blasting from the PA. It could be a…

  • obLONG’s rope a dope (pt 2)

    obLONG at South by South Yorkshire (O2 Academy) After a quick detour to take a gander at the Art Crawl event, I moseyed down to the O2 Academy for the South by South Yorkshire event and catch obLONG playing live. There were other bands playing that night (Serious Sam Barrett, The Crookes, Standard Fare and…

  • obLONG’s rope a dope (pt 1)

    obLONG – Demo EP One afternoon, again in front of my PC, I put on my earphones and search for a band whose name is rather interesting to me… obLONG. Another assignment from the editors. I could only think of an American Football ball shape, tricky shadows, prolongation, perfect symmetry.

    Wake up to some classic 90’s cheesy soft-rock pop from an unfairly underrated musician (who also happens to own a pair of the coolest glasses in the world) – Misky

  • News: Interpol

    Interpol – ‘Lights’: The ever mysterious Interpol are stirring in the depths of some dark music studio somewhere, casually sticking their heads out of the sand to post new track ‘Lights’ on their website, only to disappear off the face of the earth, driving fans crazy with curiosity in a teaser campaign which seems almost cruel…

    A fantastic live video (unfortunately taken from TOTP2) of Bowie performing on The Old Grey Whistle Test (1972) singing ‘Five Years’ from the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars. Please come out of retirement Mr Bowie, you are sorely missed!- PM

  • Burying the Hatchet:

     Review: Broken Social Scene – Forgiveness Rock Record   Canada’s Broken Social Scene should be described as collective of musicians rather than as a ‘band’; all the members inter-mingling and collaborating, a constant shifting of touring members, friends, lovers. It seems like Broken Social Scene can’t seem to decide what exactly it is they are…
