Food for thought: I’ve been reading a lot about Ai in music, who hasn’t? I even had a go myself last year using lyrics i’d written at University. Now that the Ai generated country track ‘Walk My Walk’ has topped US Billboard charts! I personally wasnt expecting it, I thought Ai music was aimed moreso…
Before I reflect on an evening spent watching Depeche Mode M in IMAX I need to say it’s great to see great Arthouse films getting made. This was a true Arthouse passion project. If you search what that means Google will tell you “Arthouse films are independent, often experimental, films intended for a niche market…
Great find this week, ‘Twinkle’ (1995) and ‘When We Were Young’ (1996) by Whipping Boy. Still looking for that copy of the album ‘Heartworm’ by the band released in 1995 which these two singles were from. I remember hearing Twinkle for the first time in about 1996, first on an Indie Compilation of latest singles…

It was a swift ticket grab when the notification popped up that Senser were coming to town, to be honest it’s just as swift if it’s a couple of hours away like the last two times in Bristol. Always a great show put on by a band I’ve been listening to since I first heard…
I’m a hypocrite by saying that i’m afraid. I have always liked the phrase “if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem”, and thats me! In the early to mid 90s, certainly when the house was empty, MTV was always on, a true mainstay of my days. Yes we had Top…
Like most record collectors I am always scanning resale sights as well as stopping off at vintage and second hand record shops, sometimes you spot some gems you have to own. There are some bands that im always searching for and New Fast Automatic Daffodils is one of them. If you dont know them, they…
Last night we went to The Joiners in Southampton to see Only the Poets for their ‘Going back to where it began’ tour. The first of two shows on the evening. I had heard good things about them so thought I’d go and see for myself. Only the Poets are an English band from Reading…
