Only one part left to do, and the infernal list is finished for another year. I know why everyone else does theirs in committees now. Anyway, before I get things wrapped up and back to normal, I want to mention a few other related comings and (sadly) goings that made 2012 special for me. It’s [...]

After a week where I did two live reviews (the Afghan Whigs in London and Mark Lanegan in Wolverhampton), I’m reminded just how much a pain it is to review live shows. Records are easy by comparison, because they can be written about while comfortably experiencing them and trying to locate the feel of something, and [...]
Just typing that subject header conjures feelings of “that really happened, didn’t it?” in this scribbler’s overheated mind.

It seems a bit curious that there were loads of quality tribute albums released in the early nineties featuring acts from the Sub Pop roster and their peers dedicated to bands who had influenced their respective career paths, yet now we are one generation on from this, and these artists remain largely without tribute albums [...]
It’s quite a good time to be my ears at the moment, with lots of great new music either already here or just around the corner, and plenty of hitherto forgotten things rediscovered and reloved. It’s a crap time to be the rest of me though, as I’m absolutely knackered. Still, the promise of an [...]
