When a theatre hater is dragged with promises of comedy – Immaculate at SUTCO
From the desk of Quintana “Quinto” Haberno (pt 3 – The Woman knew her ways) Pre-ramble I hate theatre. There, said and done. I hate the fakeness of it. I hate the “sparsity” of it. Calling an actor “theatrical” is easily my fave insult and the BBC sure has a knack for having “theatrical actors”…

Wake up song for today – 63
Before the swan dresses, the “only vocal” albums but probably round when she went Tyson on a reporter. This is my absolute fave from this girl (who actually reminded me for a while of a girl I was crazy about). The song gives me the good kind of memories. Hey, kiddies, it’s friday, go get…

The Unfortunate Incident at Soyo… this is TOO Soviet
From the desk of Quintana “Quinto” Haberno (pt 2 – This is too Soviet) Pre-ramble Sometimes I get some rather strange emails. Besides the one about making her girls faint and altering the size of my manhood (it’s okay as it is), I get the odd piece of hatemail. Sod it, anyone with a computer…

Wake up song for today – 62
The solo project from Thom Yorke is a mixed bag. It’s the moment when the rest of Radiohead told him to bugger off and do a full electronica album in order to get it out of the system and go back to the more organic route (hey, this purge gave us In Rainbows). This is…

Cats for Peru + The Dawn Chorus + Random musings from a coeditor
From the desk of Quintana “Quinto” Haberno (pt 1 – The Agony) Pre-ramble. Sometimes people think that we, the editors, have a whale of time bossing around. Sure, it’s fun to yell at our useless twerps (but brilliant writers), but with great powertripping comes great responsibility, i.e. our chances to write are sometimes low (there’s…

I have some bad memories with Stabbing Westward, but in a way, they define how I feel about loads of stuff in my live. They were in one of the worst years of my life (1998, for anyone who wonders) and to this date, I still listen to them from time to time.Heck, I still…

Erlend, can you see us?
An Ode to Erlend’s Glasses It was through a very fortunate coincidence that I found out The Whitest Boy Alive (TWBA) was doing a couple of shows in March promoting their latest album, Rules (with some love for Dreams, 2006), at a rather unfortunate venue, a very well known (and infamous – Q.) Night Club…

A beautiful soul that we should always remember. I’m sure our comic book heroes love him too. From the “Mystery white boy” album.

Ringing ears and broken pedalboards @ Guinness White Tent, Sheffield
Another Friday night in good ol’ rainy Sheffield, another gig that makes my tinnitus a permanent condition (wonder if I can claim benefits over that?) As part of St. Patrick’s celebration, those peddlers of the magic black potion (no, not Bovril) set up their (in)famous white tenth (right in front of City Hall). Between the…
