Review – Xiu Xiu @ The Harley
There are times in your life when you go and peer over the proverbial abyss. Sometimes the abyss looks back; sometimes it just plays some music. The Harley had the pleasure of holding an extravagant gig organised by the owner of the best hats in Sheffield (that be Liam from Children for Breakfast, then– Quinto).…

Wake up song for today – 46
The theme song for our very own comic. It’s Billy Corgan and Spirits in the Sky with this mammoth jam that includes the underrated Dave Navarro, the amazing Mark Tulin and all around nice guy Kerry Brown (aka Studiodog) And if you think we love the Smashing Pumpkins too much as of late, howzabout THIS…

Looking back at … Smashing Pumpkins – Machina

Review – Whistle down the wind @ Sheffield Lycaeum
Nowhere, south of the United States, sometime in the 50s. A town with very strict religious views and an iron glove police force(think NKVD/Gestapo but not as friendly). Three little kids whose mother has passed away and whose father slaves away at the farm, affronted by a stark economic future. And in the midst of…

Yes, Mr. Marvin Lee Aday’s songs are cheesy as hell (and check out those theatrics, courtesy of Jim Steinman, that Wagner-rock rascal!!) but man, what pipes does Meat Loaf pack, uh? And that damn chorus, like the smell of crispy bacon, just won’t go away, oink!

Because you and your scheming partner mean worlds to me. These are some of the many songs that remind me of you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! – Sam.
