/Tuesday Ten/154/Here’s Tom With The Weather
A very British habit – and one of the cliched views of the British from around the world – is, apparently, to talk about the weather incessantly. I’ve never been […]
Month: April 2012
Into the Pit: 130: Laibach – Live at Tate Modern – 14-April 2012
Of all of the industrial “legends”, if you will – aside from now deceased bands like Throbbing Gristle, that I’ll never see now of course anyway – Laibach have for […]
Into the Pit: 129: Jägermeister Music Tour 2012 – Skindred + Therapy? – Live at Brixton – 13-April 2012
I’m beginning to like this idea of sponsored gigs. After all, if nothing else, the sponsorship helps to bring down the insane costs of gigging nowadays – noted last night […]
Into the Pit: 128: Marion – Live at Islington – 12-April 2012
From various conversations over the years, it certainly isn’t just me that associates particular bands, songs or albums with particular times of life. Funnily enough, for me mainly it is […]
Into the Pit: 127: 65daysofstatic – Live at The Garage – 10-April 2012
There are constant reminders of an apocalyptic future for indie labels in particular as the stampede towards digital music gains ever more pace, so it is also good to see […]
Into the Pit: 126: Chelsea Wolfe – Live at Old Blue Last – 09-April 2012
From the first time I heard Chelsea Wolfe‘s music, it was pretty clear that she wasn’t like most other singer-songwriters. It isn’t often you hear a Burzum cover, never mind […]
Memory of a Festival: 015: Resistanz 2012
Last year, the first Resistanz festival in Sheffield was one of the talking points of the “scene” in the Spring, and due to family commitments that we couldn’t miss, we […]
But Listen: 122: Cyanotic – Med Pack Vol. 1
Sean Payne’s Cyanotic have always been more than their reputation suggests. The first thing most people think of – that know of them at least – is their intense fusions […]
But Listen: 121: Ministry – Relapse
Back in the 80s, Al Jourgensen was one of the driving forces behind industrial and metal coming together. The three albums released around the end of the 80s and early […]
Into the Pit: 125: Helmet – Live at Electric Ballroom – 02-April 2012
For the first of seven nights of gigs in the thirteen days, it was to a regular haunt once again, the Electric Ballroom, for a night of alternative rock.
Tuesday Ten: 153: Tracks of the Month (March 2012)
I guess last week’s repackaging Tuesday Ten was kinda apt, seeing as this past week has marked five years of my Tuesday Ten series. That is five years of me […]
