/Tuesday Ten/410/Senses Working Overtime/Taste
Just over two years ago, I asked for suggestions around songs involving the senses. Needless to say, this ended up being a gargantuan thread, with the easy decision made to split it out.
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /200-181
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the first part of the best tracks of the 2010s. This has been an interesting, and memory-laden trip doing this list. I’ve dredged up a few memories, reconnected with a few songs I’d not heard […]
/Welcome to the Future/127/Events, gigs and new release round-up/22-May 2020
We keep going in the lockdown. There are new releases, and still new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Tuesday Ten/409/Lazy
There is, perhaps understandably, a desire for many to take things easy right now. Aside from work, what else is there to do? We can’t really go out and socialise, go for a drink, go to a gig, go to the cinema, and so on, so evenings have become pretty sedentary.
/But Listen/163/Doom in the Springtime
For me at least, there are a number of links between Katatonia and Paradise Lost.
/Welcome to the Future/126/Events, gigs and new release round-up/15-May 2020
We keep going within the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music is coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/DJ/Stormblast/130 – 14-May-2020
The current lockdown has stopped the entertainment industry – at least in terms of physical venues – dead in its tracks, but I guess one of the benefits of the internet age is that we can do things online instead. So, after years of considering whether to bring Stormblast back in one form or another […]
/Tuesday Ten/408/Conspiracy
One of the more depressing elements – as if we needed any more of them – of the current COVID-19 pandemic has been the rush to conspiracy and misinformation. It’s understandable, in a way – find a way to try and deal with what feels like an impossible situation – but some of those taking […]

/Tuesday Ten/407/Tracks of the Month/Apr-20
The end of the first full calendar month of lockdown – a month where I’ve barely travelled more than 1km beyond the confines of our flat, and have, in musical terms, otherwise been involved in livestreams and listening to an awful lot of music (both from my own collection and online) while spending even more […]
/Talk Show Host/062/Jean-Marc Lederman
In this period of enforced downtime – I last saw a gig on 05-Mar (Marika Hackman), and frankly who knows when I’m next going to get to go to one – I’m using the time to catch up on various amounts of writing for this site, and also get on with trying to make some […]
/Transmission/021/the a-z of industrial/n/part one
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a first look at the letter N. Needless to say this was recorded during the ongoing lockdown…
/DJ/Rivet/005 – 01-May 2020
The current lockdown has stopped the entertainment industry – at least in terms of physical venues – dead in its tracks, but I guess one of the benefits of the internet age is that we can do things online instead. Thus, after some years of talking about it – and struggling to find a venue […]

/DJ/Stormblast/129 – 30-Apr 2020

So, after years of considering whether to bring Stormblast back in one form or another […]
/Tuesday Ten/406/Warning!
Following on from last week, there’s been lots of warnings of late. Warnings to social distance, warnings to stay at home, warnings about what to do if you’re infected. We’re also – well, were, before the rain came today – hearing announcements in Finsbury Park telling people not to sunbathe or lounge around in the […]

/Tuesday Ten/405/No Good Advice
Everywhere I’ve looked over the past month, someone has been offering advice. Be that official Government advice, a Doctor’s advice, employer advice…your friend from down the road who did a first aid course once advice.
/But Listen/162/Promenade Cinema/Exit Guides
Promenade Cinema rather burst out of their native Sheffield a couple of years ago, with a handful of striking, elegant singles and a sensational debut album LIVING GHOSTS, that this site saw fit to award Album of the Year on /Countdown/Albums/2018. I still love that album, too, and did have a little fear in the […]
