/Countdown /2022 /Compilations and re-issues
Welcome to /Countdown/2022 – this year’s wrap-up of the best new music that I’ve heard across the year. I begin as usual, with the best compilations and reissues in no […]
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /023 /29-Nov 2022
Not quite the last one of the year, as it happens.
/Tuesday Ten /512 /We’re In This Together
The final /Tuesday Ten of 2022 is, at least in part, about togetherness. Over the last few years, the idea of banding together to help, to achieve and make better […]
/Welcome to the Future /230 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 25-Nov 2022
We’re into that pre-Christmas release lull already, it seems, with precious few releases of note this week. I’ll be beginning my roundup of 2022 in early December – look out […]
/Tuesday Ten /511 /11 Miles an Hour
Fifty-nine years ago today, US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, Dallas. Generally seen as a pivotal moment in the second half of the twentieth century, certainly […]
/Welcome to the Future /229 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 18-Nov 2022
Nearing the end of the year now – and thus I’m deep in writing my end of year lists already (coming in December). This post is a roundup of (relevant […]
/Tuesday Ten /510 /Climb Ev’ry Mountain
For much of my life, I’ve lived in the hillier areas of this country. From my early years in the surprisingly hilly Medway Towns, to the West and South Yorkshire […]
/Click Click /008 /Bands at Whitby Oct 2022
It’s fair to say that since I first started going to Whitby in 2004, things have changed. The people running gigs at the Spa have changed (twice, now), the people […]
/Welcome to the Future /228 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 11-Nov 2022
The latest fortnightly update. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and […]
/Tuesday Ten /509 /Tracks of the Month /Oct-22
Back from Whitby, and while I saw a handful of bands (more about those later in the week), today it’s back to the best tracks of the past month.
/Welcome to the Future /227 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 28-Oct 2022
A quick, later post than usual this week. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both […]
/DJ /TheKindaMzkYouLike /022 /25-Oct 2022
Whitby and Hallowe’en around the corner, so time for another Livestream.
/Tuesday Ten /508 /A Kind of Magic
We’re nearing the end of October, and thus in the week of Devil’s Night and All Hallow’s Eve – or Hallowe’en, of course. So I thought I’d dig into my […]
/Welcome to the Future /226 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 21-Oct 2022
I’ve kinda settled now on bi-weekly posts for this, and it’s unlikely time will allow for much more, so that’s how it will be. This post is a roundup of […]
/Tuesday Ten /507 /Some Like It Hot
Fancy a brew? The nights are drawing in, it’s getting cooler, and thus hot drinks become the desired thing for many on more occasions. That said, I drink tea regardless […]
/Tuesday Ten /506 /We Care
Back to regular /Tuesday Ten postings, then, and this week I’ve moved on to something of an emotional subject: to care or not to care.
/Welcome to the Future /225 /Events, Livestreams and new releases 07-Oct 2022
For the first time in a long time, I’ve missed a couple of weeks of release roundups, so I have an awful lot to cover this week, with three weeks […]
/Memory of a Festival /037 /Cold Waves X
That what started out as a hastily-scheduled event to celebrate the life of Jamie Duffy has turned into a large, multi-day, multi-city festival over the past decade is something of […]
/Tuesday Ten /505 /Tracks of the Month /Sep-22
Back into the writing saddle, then, as I wrap up the best music of the past month. The write-up of Cold Waves X from Chicago will follow in the next […]
/Tuesday Ten /504 /Fly Me Away
By the time you likely read this, I’ll be in the air to Chicago, on my first flights since literally just before the pandemic fully bit hard.
