I haven't wrote in awhile and there's a reason for that. The countless stream of useless, non-personalised emails from PR agencies who should know better than to send me badly written presspacks about artists that are totally not relevant to this blog, had me so underwhelmed and uninspired that I have turned my attention to another project.

Cruel Cassette is from London and he's remixed one of my favorite noise pop bands, BITCHES and also Japayork , an artist whom I've been chasing to have on the blog but never replied to me. Anyway, the fact that Cruel Cassette has remixed BITCHES and the total pole opposite that is Japayork shows that he has good taste. BITCHES are friends of my favorite no-wave noise band, DIVORCE from Glasgow, and the insanely loud two-member thrash punk band with a mad drummer (who has the tendency to drop his pants while [...]
BEST GIG ever. I braved freezing winds, icy roads and snow to get to this gig. You just CANNOT say no to the prospect of seeing an insane noise band with 4 fucking drummers, live. You just cant. Another quality gig by British Wildlife and another reason why I love this (what those cunts at Drowned In Sound disrespectfully labelled : ) " underground toilet circuit ", better than any pretensious fucking magazine-hosted wanky party . [Video: Cuss Words] Case in point: nothing beats the experience of an intimate venue [...]
KID A Released 10 years ago this week (02/10/2000). Intro Kid A is in my humble opinion one of the top 3 albums of all time. The dark brooding but ‘optimistic’ atmosphere it creates sounds exciting and [...]

Gimme some Action (Beat) A giudicare da questa foto, temo che qualsiasi disco proveremo a mettere dopo il concerto degli Action Beat di questa sera al Locomotiv Club , io e Francesco nel ruolo dei dj faremo la figura dei chierichetti. La noise/no-wave punk band inglese (riferimenti: Sonic Youth, Fugazi e anche robe più avant) verrà a presentare il suo ultimo album The Noise Band From Bletchley , che spinge i suoni in direzione ancora più psichedelica [...]
