Sage Francis - Sea Lion
Sage Francis is a genius. One of my all-time favourite songs. “The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song. Ma, Ma—look what i did, Ma. Look what i did to my hands, I broke ‘em. You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel, didn’t say how to hold ‘em. Didn’t say to give away...
Next month in Sheffield :D
Only gig poster I could find for this lineup, I know that’s not in sheffield lol) 3 outstanding bands, gonna headbang like a motherfucker! haha Nocturnal is one of the best albums i’ve ever heard. Better than anything they’ve ever done. The muscianship is second-to-none and it has such a creepy atmosphere about it which just raises it above any other melodic-death metal...
Comments

““Whoever wants to live and enjoy his life today must not be like you and me. Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours—.” Steppenwolf. I had woken up in a forest one morning surrounded by tall stone circular ruins, with nothing but a sense of...
Goethe - To Luna
Steppenwolf constantly refers to Goethe, so I looked him up and found one of his poems. Good stuff To Luna ISTER of the earliest light, Type of loveliness in sorrow, Silver mists thy radiance borrow, Even as they cross thy sight. When thou comest to the sky, In...
R.I.P DOCUMENT SKATEBOARD MAGAZINE
it has very much saddened me to find out that Document skateboard magazine, which was one of only two major skateboard magazines in the UK has released their final issue. Its extremely well-written take on UK & european skateboarding represented all that I loved about my hobby. The mix of skateboarding, music, culture, art, books etc showed the more creative side of skateboarding which was a...

Killing The Dream & Nietzsche
Well, Killing The Dream was fucking outstanding. First on were More Than Life who despite baring many of the same hallmarks as new-found UKHC champions Dead Swans were really very good. They had the whole hoods up fucked-up youth thing going which I find more appealing than wigga hardcore haha. Then we had the newly signed to Deathwish Inc band The Carrier who I was equally as excited at seeing,...

Jorge Luis Borges - The Library Of Babel.

Look at the way they can be used, abused etc today my friend took to hammering nails into a disctionary, then setting it on fire. so, yea pretty open ended really lol. I chose to base mine around a story by my favourite author Jorge Luis Borges it’s only short so take the time out to read it you...
