In 1968 something amazing happened. Four British rock legends came together for a tv show entitled The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. The Dirty Mac consisted of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell – too good to be true right?! Well, it is true. Check out one of the only songs…

Platinum Blind, Dynamite Victim, Left Ajar, The Hope Explosion @ The Plug
A cracking poker of bands jammed at the Plug last friday. Was it good? Was it bad? Read on! So the first band was Platinum Blind, playing some quick pop punk and relishing their time on stage with some banter and in jokes. A pretty healthy relationship with the fans, as it seems a few…

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…
