Another weekend push for this one! A video for the guitar nerds out there, maybe? Part one is me detailing every effect pedal I've ever owned. Dirt and delay only, but in the next installment...reverb, modulation, multis, plus all of my DIY and homemade efforts. Yikes.

Finally got off my post-Christmas arse and did a vid. First of a two-parter about every guitar pedal I've ever owned. Pure folly triggered by me checking my old Flickr and finding it full of photos of all the pedals I've hawked over the years. A sobering experience. Watch!

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"The Volcano Show is essential viewing for all visitors going on to the volcanic parts of the country"
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"There were a few psychos about, people with sharpened umbrellas, hammers and, on the odd occasion, swords and that kind of thing, but you'd just try and avoid the loons."

Have a good one, everybody!

Won't be doing a year-end music thing for 2025, but must admit to being mystified by the absence of this one from the top 50s of all the usual suspects...The Ex "If Your Mirror Breaks"...For me, it's right up there. Anyway, as you were!

ICYMI...An Orange Juice/Edwyn video with a focus on the 1984 "Texas Fever" EP. Ta for watching!
Critical opinion seems to be all over the shop on this one, but put me in the "pro" column. Orange Juice's last release as a proper band (if we're being honest), the 1984 "Texas Fever" EP. A few thoughts and reflections to tie in with Edwyn's recent farewell gigs. Linky here!

Just nabbed some tickets for this in Februrary...The Cabs and Scanner at Norwich Arts Centre. Next October's farewell tour is coming nowhere near us, so this is a bit of a touch. Props to Synth East. Excited!

Is The Unutterable the best Fall album of the 21st century? Is it the best Fall LP full stop? Is it simply one of the best damn albums ever recorded? It's reissued today and Fergal Kinney looks beyond Pete Tong, ketamine and pumpkin soup to reveal its brilliance.

Reissue of the Week: The Unutterable by The Fall | The Quietus
The Unutterable is the best 21st C LP by the mighty Fall; or is this visionary work concerning Pete Tong, ket & soup, their best period?

Who'd have thought a video about The Go-Betweens would be a culture war issue? Had to screenshot this comment for posterity before deleting the shit out of the whole damn thread. The general thrust?...

"PROTECT ARE CULTCHA! KEEP MUSIC BRITISH!"

What a time to be alive.

What's that you say? A pair of bands with an eerily coincident run of six albums in the '80s? Now that, I can work with.

REM, The Go-Betweens, success, heroic failure...below are my thoughts and observations, in video form. Watch!

Look! It's one of my infrequent video drops (this year, at least). A stroll through a dozen notable punk documentaries, designed to complement last year's video of similarly-themed dramatic features. Some oldies/goldies, and a few lesser-spotted beasties. Go on, I won't tell!

Absolute scenes over at TheGearPage!

This is what happens when classic rock fans play fast and loose with genres outside their comfort zone. I've responded with the receipts, but fear my input regarding this wacko assertion will not be welcomed.

Anyway, as you were...
