Killing Joke are a band that, to many peoples surprise, I have never managed to see previously. So when the chance to go to this came up, there was no way I was going to miss it (even if it meant missing out on Paradise Lost playing all of Draconian Times across ‘town at The […]
The weird thing about writing these Tuesday Tens is that the ideas for some take a long time to come together. Others can have a whole load of suggestions come at once, particularly if an idea for a subject pops up while I’m in the pub, or out with my girlfriend (especially in the car, […]
Next time I do an all-dayer in a city 200 miles from where I live, I won’t be going out clubbing until 0300 the previous night.
Onto part three of my 90s album run-down. There is again a Spotify playlist accompaniment to it, which is only missing a couple of entries (it's remarkable how much is now on Spotify, actually!).
The third instalment of this lengthy rundown.
This month’s ten tracks you should hear.
So, then: ten tracks for the month.
Further to last week, it’s time to move on to the next stage of my rundown of the last decade.
This month’s ten tracks I think you should hear.
It’s Metal Week on MTV2 this week (presumably due to the new Metallica album release this week), and it has resulted in various things being played that I’ve not heard in bloody ages. However, the list of metal bands that they are playing is depressingly narrow, and missing a large number of quite obvious bands. […]
Last night was utterly, utterly insane. In all of the best possible ways. DJing at the Wendyhouse 10th Birthday last night provided me with one of the biggest buzzes of my life, and nearly floored me in the process, as many of you who saw me inbetween DJ sets will attest. The metal room seemed […]
A slightly different Tuesday Ten this week – and it will be the last 2007 retrospective. So what is this one? Well, it needs some explanation.
So, part one of my review of the year, and this week it is the tracks of the year. This as usual spans a number of different genres, and I don't doubt that there will be some disagreement with my choices: so to that end, let me know what you think the best of the […]
Another new month, so time for a rundown of my favourite tracks of the past month. I’m on the lookout for new things right now, stuff I may not have heard. Doesn’t matter what it is, send me links!
Stormblast continues to surprise me, with it being always busy, now, with what appears to be an always growing number of regular visitors. So thanks as always to all that came down. Look out for something special being planned for a future Thursday, if I can pull it off!
/Stormblast last night was a little quieter than recent weeks, with many of the regulars missing for one reason or the other. Ho hum – there's always next week. Which reminds me – next week is Foreverguardian and Barney DJing, as I am off to see Goldfrapp at Sheffield Octagon.
Last night was again a good turnout – a bit down on recent weeks, partly I think due to the last week of exams for many of our studenty-types, and also as I understand a gig that a few of our usual visitors were at the night before became something of a heavy night…! Ho […]
…onto The Nelson for Stormblast – which although quieter than recent weeks was still damned good fun. Town generally seemed utterly dead anyway, last night.
The second phase of tcf ended at this point, as I was unexpectedly offered the chance to take over Thursdays at The Nelson, too – which resulted in the metal that I was playing shifting to Stormblast.
Anytime I get given a [demo] CD with a “produced by [famous name]” I’m gonna at least take a look. As in this case, with “Produced by Gregor Mackintosh [Paradise Lost]” on the front. Granted, I had seen them live first. The famous connection will certainly do them no harm. Musicwise, they do bear some […]
