  2. Update (Adam is making things)

    Going around the street fair at Folsom and instead of asking people their astrology sign, asking which Dogs of War faction they'd be in: Gayboy Berserkers, Smega Crazies, Punks or Skins? I think that despite appearances, I would be a Gayboy Berserker. #madmax #madmax2 #folsom #folsomEurope #berlin #kink #fetish #gay #lgbtqia

  8. waterintobeer 10th birthday/Acoustic Anarchy 100+ (Transpontine)

    The great Brockley beer shop/bar waterintobeer celebrated its tenth birthday last month with a series of events and some cans especially for the occasion. Earlier this year too Acoustic Anarchy celebrated its 100th event at waterintobeer, marking the event with a one off zine listing everyone who has played there (including me). As promoter Martin Howard set out in the zine, the monthly night is a great example of 'DIY Culture' with people turning up and singing unplugged (mostly).The beer and…

  9. Listen (Anthony Ciccarello)

    🎵 Listening to Live in Washington Sq Park by New Jazz Underground. I really liked listening to this set by this jazz trio. There was something really beautiful about the organic, candid cinematography. And all three musicians were sharp.

  10. Kat Hendrix - Before the Rain (Morning Music)

    I went in a bit blind on this one. This album has very nearly no online presence, but I did know that Kat Hendrix had played in Skywalk, a favourite local fusion jazz band, so I was willing to take a chance on it without any other context. And I'm glad I did! This is very early-90s smooth jazz, that period when everything in fusion jazz very suddenly chilled out. I think when I was younger I might not have liked this so much - might have worred about finding it embarrassing, gotten wrapped up…

  11. Bibiel Hears Things: Alannah Thornburgh – “Chasing the Hare” (My Inner Mishmash)

    Hey people! I’ve recently discovered a really intriguing album, about which I’m surprised that I didn’t come across it earlier than I did; same about the artist behind it. Alannah Thornburgh is an Irish multi-instrumentalist, primarily harpist, from Swinford in County Mayo. She comes from a very musical family, with both of her parents playing instruments – her father, Rob Thornburgh, is a saxophonist, which is likely where her specific flavour of harping, influenced by jazz and Appalachian…

  12. Sad Lovers & Giants – “Asylum Town” (Space Echo)

    Most of the discourse around Sad Lovers & Giants hereabouts has focused on their earliest works and specifically the labyrinthine mess of singles, EPs, albums, and compilations that make finding and owning the material that cemented them as one of the best overlooked bands of early post-punk and new wave so frustrating. In doing so, […] The post Sad Lovers & Giants – “Asylum Town” appeared first on Space Echo.

    Neil Young & Crazy Horse - The Great Western Forum, Inglewood, California, September 11, 1996Hey hey my my — 30 years ago this evening, I saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse for the very first time. The Great Western Forum, a spot Neil had been playing since 1970. Right at the beginning of my senior year of high school. Old man, take a look at my life, I’m old now too! Here’s something sacrilegious: I think I enjoyed the Neil + Booker T & the M.G.’s show from exactly three years prior more! This may…

  15. New and new-to-me music 2026-W37 (Thomas Rigby)

    Welsh metalheads Dream State dropped a new single of sparkling synths cut through with dirty guitar and Jessie's voice builds from naive cut glass to the shrieking of avenging angels — "Forever in View". From the warping bass opening note to the sustained wash synth that closes "I've Never Felt So Hated", Chloe Slater pulls out something a bit darker than her last couple of singles. Maturing into her sound comfortably. A new EP from Emma Blackery is always welcome. Four tracks in that…

  18. All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem (Happily Imperfect)

    Describe a concert that changed your perspective on music or life. Pick a song from that artist or band. I have a photo from the gig. The lights from the stage are pointing at the crowd, dazzling, the silhouette of hands raised in unison, in joy, form a sea before me. I’d been to many gigs but this one, this moment, sticks in my head. I’m not sure why but I think this was the first time I lost myself completely, gave in to the energy around me, raised my hands. I’ve always been a bit self…

  21. 2026 Anniversary Series 083: Voivod – Katorz (The Killchain)

    Scribed by Sandre the Giant Released: 25th July 2006 Metal albums have proven, time and time again, that magic can rise from the ashes of tragedy and so it was in 2006 with Canadian technical thrash icons Voivod and their eleventh record (for a thrash band to hit that in 06 is a crazy achievement) ‘Katorz’. With guitar and bass tracks written and recorded by Denis ‘Piggy’ D’Amour alongside Jason Newsted in Newsted’s studio before Piggy sadly was claimed by colon cancer in 2005, it seemed the…

  22. Review: Saidan – Fangdriller: Scars Beneath Memory’s Wrist (The Killchain)

    Review by Sandre the Giant Released: 19th June 2026 If you wanted me to guess where Japan-inspired horror black metal duo Saidan were from, I’d have guessed a thousand places before Nashville, Tennessee but I guess there’s more than country hiding in them there parts. ‘Fangdriller: Scars Beeath Memory’s Wrist’ is the band’s fourth full length record, and I heard a lot of buzz about it when it first came out from all the right people. The aesthetic looks incredible, and the music contained…

  26. Bits & Bobs (Impressions of Vince)

    Bassist Ron McClure just released a memoir, appropriately titled Bass in Time.McClure briefly was a member of Guaraldi's trio, from late 1973 through early 1974. By the time he came into Guaraldi's orbit, the bassist already had enjoyed a busy career on both coasts. McClure toured California in the mid-1960s with Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Cobb and Wynton Kelly. McClure eventually moved to California in 1969, at which point he joined the jazz quartet The Fourth Way, alongside Eddie Marshall, Mike…

  29. Lou Reed - Ulster Performing Arts Center, Kingston, New York, September 12, 2006 (Doom & Gloom From The Tomb)

    Lou Reed - Ulster Performing Arts Center, Kingston, New York, September 12, 2006Someone hail a cab for Lou Reed — he’s got a show upstate! Yes, just about 20 years ago this week, Uncle Lou played the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, NY. Not sure if he wore UGGs onstage, but let’s just assume that he did. In a couple months, Reed would debut an ambitious re-staging of Berlin, taking that maligned/misunderstood/misanthropic 1973 LP around the world to rapturous crowds. But he wasn’t…
