Sam Norton has tagged me with this meme. I’ll be up front about saying I’d thought find this really difficult. I’m not that musical a person – I’m best described as “eclectic, but I know what I like”. It turned out to be easier than I expected. These are the rules: Think of eight memorable musical moments, [...]

Photos Dan Griffiths / Retna Pictures As we file into the “back bit” of the Hoxton Bar & Grill (tight squeeze in!) and air of anticipation fills the air as Violens take to the stage, sure one of em announced they were from New York, or was that just York!. They take a wee while [...]
I've been thinking of this for a while now, but how amazing would it be if Rockstar made another GTA game in the UK? Think about. It could be set in the 1980's, in some kind of industrial town up north. The story of corruption, deprivation and borderline poverty could all be there along with an overall feeling of depression and the assurance of 110% more Thatcher! The soundtrack would be incredible...

Lately, I’ve been going back through my music collection and listening to music from a certain period. I’ve been going back to music that was created in the Thatcher/Regan era 80s. Back then, they were in a social and economic climate that is increasingly similar to what we face everyday into the recession we’re dealing with now. Recession, strikes, decline, high inflation and high...
Last night, I had the pleasure of spending some time with my favourite country-noir angel Marianne Dissard. She played the Paris Appelle festival in The Hague, her first concert in Holland (if I'm not mistaken), and also the first time we met. Four years after I put a song of hers on my first French compilation , and experiencing the advantages of social media ( twitter , Myspace ). But nothing beats...
Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are? The answer's in the question! Stupid kid! This clearly requires further investigation! (Who said 'oh no'? Cheek.) Later on it says 'the traveller in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark, he could not see which way to go if you did not twinkle so', and this is where it gets interesting, because now it's clearly being addressed to aliens.
