Some Art World News…

In July I went to the Bristol based street artist Banksy’s exhibition in London’s Covent Garden. It was quite a moment for me since I’ve longed to see his work in a context other than printed within a book. The gallery was full of his trademark stencil pieces spanning over a decade of his career. [...]

Peter Andre. Then And Now…

Before I get into the nitty gritty that is Peter Andres career I just need to clarify that although I’m Scottish please consider me in the thought group of 99.999% of our nation. We DID NOT and still DO NOT want the Lockerbie bomber to be free. The fault of his freedom lies in the hands of people with too much power and, ironically, no compassion at all.

Our castles are pretty cool to look at as well.

Review – Everybody hurts

A book review. A book review?!

Having heard the awkward underground chatter about ‘Everybody hurts’, it was [...]

NME and Invisible children

I’ve had a weird day. Maybe even a weird week. I don’t know but after taking stock and having a break from putting together a new website I finally sat back and watched a film I have had on my to do list for quite sometime.
I’ve always been quite a charitable person. I do my [...]

Major labels – Falling on deaf ears?

Major record labels – falling on deaf ears?
There is no denying that the mainstream music labels (EMI, Sony BMG, Warner, and Island/Def jam) are in a critical yet sorry state at the moment. After the redundancy of 1800 EMI employees in December, problems have surfaced concerning the future of music industry employees and even the [...]

Can’t stop listening to

Amoungst the ‘unknown errors’ and code I am swamped in this evening whilst I get some websites underway I can’t stop listening to 2 bands. Idiot pilot who I’m sure plenty of you know but also Jamie T.
I don’t really know how to sell Jamie T to people. He’s catagorized as ‘Rap, regae, punk’ So [...]

New year, New dilemas etc
