  • 6 albums we enjoyed in April

    Hey, ho, away we go, album round up. YEAH.

  • Live at Leeds – The Unconference & Gig recommendations.

    It’s almost upon us. We’ve mentioned it before and now the clock is about to strike midnight. No, wait, that sounds ominous. Anyways, Live at Leeds 2013 is upon us and Friday kicks the proceedings with Unconference.

  • Gig: Scaramanga Six, Cut Your Wings + Great Deeds

    I swear I’m not making this up, but I had a feeling this gig was going to be something weird. It wasn’t the fact that I made a rather good pollo con mole for tea (see above picture) but the fact that a few minutes before I left the house, a horse-drawn carriage just passed…

  • Tales from the other side

    Typical ‘Record Store Day’ get up (or so I’ve been told) of 5am, get dressed, throw (quite literally) on some make up and BAM. I’m ready to say hello to the world. May I add, this lasted a mere 30 seconds…

  • An open letter to Innocean and Hyundai

    Jebus almighty. Hyundai really dropped the ball then fell down the insensitive tree, hitting every branch on the way down. Christ almighty. (via Copybot.wordpress.com)

  • Amongst marbles and memories

  • 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. Merely a month ago, I saw them open the night for Screaming Maldini‘s album launch (a rather loud and splenderous affair) and now it was their turn to offer us a regal spectacle in the only place in Sheffield that does a decent Reuben sandwich,…

  • Blog : Top 10 Crap Number One hits

    When the news reached me I just shook my head in despair: Ant and Dec had grabbed the number 1 spot in the UK charts with ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rumble’. The track wasn’t good in 1994 when it only climbed to number 9 in the UK charts and it still isn’t good now some…
