/DJ/Rivet/002 – 30-March 2012
A second night of RIVET, with Steve Nine from Departure joining us.
Month: March 2012
Tuesday Ten: 152: Repackage, remaster, reissue
I’ve looked at band reunions before (144: Back For Good?), but I’ve not looked at the glut of album reissues, remasters and other ways that record labels have found to help bolster their physical sales numbers that little bit more, as digital sales continue to increase. And while I have a bit of a distrust […]
Into the Pit: 124: Rebekah Delgado – Live at the Lexington – 23-March 2012
My horizons continue to expand to new venues, for me, anyway. In the past couple of years, since I returned to London, I’ve been to most of the smaller venues on the northern side now, and this gig took me to The Lexington, an Islington venue that is rather better than I thought it might […]

Tuesday Ten: 150: Tracks of the Month (February 2012)

DJ: Guest: 062: Autonomy – 03-March 2012
After a long period as “resident guest” at Autonomy, this was my last set of that run (I’d return one more time, but more on that later).
Into the Pit: 123: Atari Teenage Riot – Live at the Garage – 29-February 2012
It can hardly have escaped any gig goers attention nowadays just how eye-watering the price of gig tickets has got of late. I’m not talking about arena gigs, which have always attracted a premium, but even mid-sized shows. When it has got to the point that it is rare for a signed band to be […]
