Wake up song for today – 106
Ah, this takes me back to when I was a little angry Riot Grrl! Le Tigre are a great band and I love bouncing about to this song. If anyone is up for learning the dance routine with me (to be faithfully cracked out at weddings, formal functions and unsuspecting members of the general public)…

Wake up song for today – 105
A b-side from the Maestro of the Musical Spam, Ryan Adams. I swear to God, if I had 1/100 of his creativity, I would die a happy man. This is from the Love is Hell sessions. Amazing album. Amazing artists. There, I’ll stop or it’ll appear I have a crush on him (I do). ‘ave…

Bored?….How about it?
Now, it’s not often we at Sloucher HQ do previews for gigs or events but we felt that this deserved a special mention due to the fact that sadly, we will not be able to attend – but why spoil the fun for everyone else??! Featuring, “One of the most energetic and crowd pleasing local bands I’ve…

After leaving the Showroom through a ventilation shaft (don’t ask), I found myself inside the Site Gallery. I’m sure there’s a violation of the time/space/physics continuum somewhere in that previous sentence but,…

Wake up song for today – 102
A give or take strange cover version of New Dawn Fades. Dave Navarro and a self-righteous prick with decent-to-great musical skills (when he’s not doing softporn music for new age fairtrade cafés). For every animal he won’t eat, I’ll eat three. Natch. Still, Moby’s cover of Joy Division’s ‘New Dawn Fade’ is an integral part…

The Octagon was exploding anyway…
Nedry + Loops Haunt + 65 days of Static @ Octagon, Sheffield (May 6th 2010) It all started with Nedry (or nerdy as some posters misquoted around the place), doing a criminally empty but still magnificent set that a few people managed to enjoy. The voice of Ayu Okakita is amazingly powerful and the live…
