According to The Official Charts (UK), theses are the biggest songs on 2025. My question is, where are all the bands? Now just to be clear, I am not posting this as I have any issue or dislike of any solo artists or any of those in the lists below. It’s just a shame that…
I came across this today on social media, a website that kicks off with the first day, the first broadcast of MTV. The site then either shuffles random videos at you or you can choose decades based on preference. If .you had any love of MTV, its worth a look. Follow the basic instructions and with…
In case you havent seen this it is worth reading! Wednesday 10 December 2025 Dear Prime Minister, We are writing on behalf of the live events sector to urge you to review the devastating, unintended consequences for live venues of changes announced to the Business Rates system at the Budget. The combined impact of disproportionate,…
I have received my copy of ‘Zine Age Kicks’, it arrived Friday so I’ve had the weekend to glance through it but I’ve not touched the sides or is it covers for a book? The volume of content is immense; it’s page by page of “every time I look, I see something new”. A time…
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.

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…
I’m not going to deny it, I went in tonight uninformed, I went in having Spotifyed (is that a verb?) the first few tracks and thinking ‘YES’ I want to see this band! I mentioned it online on ‘X’ to which Rough Trade answered “We Love Bodega!” As I sat there thinking how did I…
