I think I sort of enjoy doing book reviews, although I’m almost entirely positive that I’m doing them wrong. I can’t do them in the same manner that I do with records (put record on, type, stop typing when record ends, put the kettle on) as I’d be here all week, so I rather worryingly [...]

Well, this is a nice and surprising end to a pretty dreadful day. And kind of ever so slightly apt, as this duo/band/collective/etcetera was the (wholly inadvertent) impetus that got this blog going two years ago. Broken, by the Staffordshire pair (plus myriad helper-outers) responsible for the above is certainly one of my favourite albums [...]
Well, crumbs. Today marks the 2nd Anniversary of 6 Days From Tomorrow, and I still don’t know what I’m doing. Ah well, it’s been mostly fun so far and I’m not completely fed up with it yet, so thanks to all for variously reading, contributing and recording stuff that’s been giving me something to do [...]
Well, what a strange week that was. Usually, popping down to London is the most stressful for this vaguely-panicked scribe, yet it turned out to be the most relaxed out of four jaunts around the country. They were all well worth it though, it’s nice for me to occasionally realise that I’m not quite as [...]
This isn’t going to be an especially long or particularly serious review, as to be honest I’ve already done 3 of those this week, this show was spent mostly in the company of friends I don’t get to see anywhere near as much as I’d like to, I was feeling a bit ropey and I [...]
Argh – I didn’t know that the M6 was going to be shut last night! After being given the grand tour of the entire West Midlands at night, I finally rolled in at 02:40 this morning after setting off on a 90-minute journey at 22:45. So I wasn’t really in the mood for typing anything [...]
This turned out to be a nice surprise last night – I was perusing the merchandise table at Mark Lanegan’s show in Leeds to try to remember which one of his multitude of live CDs I don’t have, and I noticed that the side table that house opening act Creature With The Atom Brain’s stuff [...]
I have spent all day checking my pocket. I have been doing this because all day it has had a ticket for tonight’s show in it and I have been paranoid all day about turning up at the door of the Student Union and producing either a ticket for a different city or – worse [...]
Blimey, this is getting like being back school now – I never thought that my spare time would be taken up with a book review or two (there’s another one on the way!) but here I am, not feeling especially literary but willing to give it a go nonetheless. After listening to and enjoying Mike’s [...]
How time flies when you’re having fun, eh? I’ve seen Mark Lanegan onstage in various guises in recent years whether it be with Soulsavers, Isobel Campbell, the Gutter Twins (as part of a band or just with partner-in-crime Greg Dulli) or just on his own with an acoustic guitar for company, in a host of [...]
