  • Amongst marbles and memories

    I arrived and the city was alone, I mean alone, alone.  Like that intimacy of a static shock, that emerges from the centre of silence to the very tip of each hair on the body.  Like when you touch the cold toe of your father to realize that he is dead.  No turning back, his…

  • Ice, Sea, Dead People – If It’s Broken, Break It More

  • Was this your celebrated summer? – RSD 2013

    “A record store, like Jesus and a puppy, are for life, not for a one day celebration.” So texted my associated editor, Orestes P. Xistos when I asked him if he’d join me in filming the people queuing outside Record Collector, a shop smack in the heart of the now dying Broomhill area of Sheffield,…

  • Gig: Low Duo album launch (support from The Hudares & David J. Roch)

    Funny thing, album launches. Especially when Low Duo is involved.

    Meet the London based trio concocting charming tunes made up of punchy pop and nostalgia.

  • Bromheads – Choro

  • The Scaramanga Six – Phantom Head

  • One fine day with Twisted Burger Co.’s new menu…

    It’s weird thing, this trend of burgers being a delicacy. If you’d told me when I was ten that burgers would be on trend, I’d say you’re pulling my leg. Not that I’m complaining. There’s more to burgers than sandwiching ground beef between bread, really.

  • Blog: The Gig – An Introduction

    As a regular gig-goer with the observational skills of a complete creep, I think I am fairly qualified in giving my personal low-down on the interesting breeds you are likely to encounter at your local music venue. Maybe you could print this out and play The Gig bingo next time you go to see that…
