Not much to add except: love this band, love this interview. Well worth a quick click-through if you haven’t heard of them before. From Plan B #25 (clearly a vintage issue). Here’s a link to the original layout. As ever, thanks to Andrew Clare for his excellent design. (Incidentally, the photograph I’ve found to run with this article is the first photograph I’ve seen of this band.) Read the rest of this entry »

From Plan B #25 – a special request from Sarah Datblygu. This is round about the best email interview I’ve conducted.

From Plan B #6. I’ve always liked this article, mainly cos the interview didn’t exactly get off to a flying start…

The final issue has long since been done and dusted. I believe you can still buy back issues for cheap over here. It’s about time I reprinted the following, taken from – yes – issue 46.

After all this negativity, time to re-focus on the positive. From Plan B #8, the ever-wonderful Mount Eerie. The interview would have been conducted in Olympia while I was researching my Nirvana book.

To celebrate the fact The Slits are shortly to release their first new studio album (entitled Trapped Animal) in over 25 years – and yes, I’m nowhere near convinced that is a good idea – I thought I’d reprint this live review from Careless Talk Costs Lives #2.

A favourite of mine (we’re actually listening to this album right now). They played a concert in our front room once, y’know – I really must get round to releasing those tapes!

I need something to take away the bitter taste of having to listen to The Maccabees 10 minutes longer than I expected while my computer crashed three times – and this fits the bill.

Well, I can’t let a day go by without a new update. Not till the baby arrives, anyway.
