What the **** happened to freedom of speech?
It’s a sad day when anyone in the world feels they must use brutal and wholly unnecessary violence for any reason; let alone when it’s because someone else wants to freely express their opinion as they are rightfully entitled to do. Russia, you ought to be ashamed. Pussy Riot, YOU ROCK.

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Listenin’
Back in ’65, English beat group The Fortunes hit no. 7 in the U.K. charts with this swinging ditty. It wasn’t until almost a decade later that The Drifters re-invented it with a disco-led groove – the groove that’s booming out of our speakers today, lifting spirits and raising smiles with it.

Saturday at the BBC
Yesterday Jess from Roamkix and I headed down to the Balham Bowls Club (sorry, not the television network!) for The Vintage Event. Since their first event in August, they’ve commandeered the upstairs of the pub too so we were sure to take a good nose around. The day was a little quieter than usual, though we still had a…

A friend over at Defected Records was kind enough to send me their most recent EP this morning, released on Tenth Circle.

A lesson on the classics
On a dark Sunday night in the deepest depths of suburban London, something completely untowards occurred—Soldiersailor, for a good couple of hours, swapped techno for classical music. You heard it here first! I’m a little red-faced to say that it was the This Is England television series that brought the phenomenal Nightbook, by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi,…
