Possibly the longest title for a post ever buy hey-ho. I’ve been using a tidy little app to remove the unwanted silence between the last track on a CD and the hidden track some 30 odd minutes later. This trend started with Nirvana’s ‘Endless Nameless’ back in the early 90s. Bands are still irritating us [...]

B-sides recorded for new album: “Wise old monkey in a wheelchair”, “Bless Brian Blessed”, “Venus in gloves”. New album may be entitled “Just like soap” instead of “Subway to Venus”.
Kill Bill: Excellent little film with stunning visuals and music. Can’t wait for vol.2.

Out on Blue Six, the 10pm show, Mark and Lard, Mark Kermode, Will Self, Simon Armitage, The Shirehorses.

Twelve is a good number of tracks for a collection and I’m looking [...]

Highlights include: GTA Vice City (finally), the complete first season of Twin Peaks on DVD, new albums from Finley Quaye and Belle and Sebastian as well as a great little helicopter made from a can of Heineken from Hugh. The ongoing [...]
