• Tramlines 2010 – Friday

    Friday 23 : Ecky Thump (the full-on rock day) Tramlines kickstarted on Friday with a quick visit to The Circle (for the press wristband) and then to Penelope’s (for a chat with the wonderful people from Counterfeit Magazine).  This was the first year for us covering a massive festival and needed some advice from pros…

  • Tramlines (what it was and what will be)

    Can’t say I’m not excited for Tramlines. Last year’s edition was a total blast and this year’s is mammoth-sized and chock full of bands (maybe too many, but the beauty is in the variety, so scratch what I just said). What was so great about last year? Well, besides finally getting to see the 80’s…

  • Looking back at … The Sundays

    The Sundays – Blind There are seasons and times in our lives we call our very own favorites. Mine are the 90s. Even though I cannot remember much (I was a dispersed child, now I am a dispersed grown-up) I do remember odd hairstyles, my sister wearing strange black boots as she danced to “Industrial”…

  • The Battle of the free releases

    So, it has come to my attention as co-editor in chief in this pocilga that there’s two bands devotedly loved by our staff. One is The Ones led by Uncle Fester (The Smashing Pumpkins) and The Dynamic aural range Duo from Sheffield (Bromheads). Even stranger is the fact that both bands have been unleashing a…

  • Fotogallero

    Mi nombre es Fermín Ximeno Benjamín y soy fotógrafo de peleas de gallos. Nací un 25 de Julio del año 1975, pero a eso, ¿a quién le importa? Ni siquiera a mi me importa, yo sólo vivo para mi cámara y mis gallos. Ese colorado que acaban de matar era “el negro”, un bello animal…

  • Cockfightazzo

    My name is Fermín Ximeno Benjamín and I’m a cockfight photographer. I was born in July 25th, 1975, but, who cares about that? I don’t even care about it, I just live for my camera and my cocks. That crimson one that just got killed was called “The Black one”, a beautiful animal with chroma…

  • Wake up song for today – 135

    A cycle ends today. If you’ve been following the Wake Up songs, you’ll understand. It’s been a blast. Big Love Quinto.

    Enjoy your Saturday, kids! Quinto (Mr. Hangover).

  • Over the seven hills and far away

    Nat Johnson & the Figureheads – Roman Radio The skinny: Skate, rattle and roll, you dirty rotten souls! The review proper: Deceptively urgent. That’s the “pretentious lazy journo” term I’ll be using on this one. Sure, it’s mostly acoustic and in the pop side of the spectrum, but Roman Radio rocks. Maybe not so obviously…
