Three Two Warzawa
Read post

Three Two Warzawa: Mark Pytlik is an author and an ILM contributor and now he is a blogger too (it’s like critical food-chain Happy Families!). Hopefully his work will clear a bit and he can update more.[…]

The Tofu Hut
Read post

The Tofu Hut: Formally at least this is the best MP3 blog I’ve seen – conversational tone, good readable design, lots of info and links on each track. Currently up are some very tasty-looking African tunes, soul rarities and a bit of blue[…]

Club Freaky Trigger
Read post

Club Freaky Trigger is back on the 24th March. We haven’t got a flyer yet, it will be posted here in due course. The venue is the Chapel Bar in Islington, free entry, 4 hours of fine pop, etc etc. There are two especially good things about this[…]

Here’s what I noticed

Read post

Vain attempt
Read post

Vain attempt to demonstrate the pop supremacy of “Touchy!” by A-Ha (don’t forget the “!”, philistines!). A quick look at Amazon and other reviewish sites confirms my loneliness on this point – the reviews made mise[…]

Dare You!
Read post

Dare You!: I’m glad this ILM thread is getting going, I was a bit worried it would die a death, or just turn into people ‘daring’ people to listen to something they know the other would hate. I am not sure I’d have heard to an[…]

Tyrone Davis and a genre’s 10th percentile
I was listening to a fine old soul twofer, Tyrone Davis’s Can I Change My Mind/Hold Back The Hands Of Time (a bargain at £5 from Fopp) and thinking of recommending it here, which I guess I&[…]

Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance Again
Read post

Teaching The Indie Kids To Dance Again is a new MP3 blog. A noble aim I’m sure – I recommend “Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey” by Modern Romance. Anyway it seems to specialise in ‘punk-funk’ so check it out if you like that, or[…]
