MP3, MP4*, iPod…GO!
I was listening to a random old mixed CD this morning and C30, C60, C90, Go came on by Bow Wow Wow. Now I have an amazingly soft spot for this song, with its ice cream carton tub thump and Annabella’s yelping sub strea[…]

The Last Ever Club FT
will be next Thursday, 24th February, at the Chapel Bar in Islington. Guest DJs ‘The Spy’ and Ken C will be joining the regulars to mark the end of an era (well a year, which is a long time in shonky pop nights). We&[…]

So I finally got around to playing Human After All (still haven’t dared approach the huge ILM thread!) and, well, it’s alright. What lets them down is their workrate – if this had been a side project, Daft Punk Explores The Wonders […]

It’s fair to say that not many buyers of 1,000 UK Number Ones will be as eager as I was, with my not-entirely casual interest. Obviously, I was a little worried: not that I’m seriously planning a book or anything, but a literate, knowledg[…]
