As usual there is a fair amount of comment about the T Break list. It always puts me off when a band is recommended to me on the basis they are friends with / related to another band, have influential management or have other good contacts. Aerials Up for instance were first mentioned to me […]
If you would like one sent to you email for details as it is quite heavy. Everything’s Getting Older ~ Ltd Edition Triple Vinyl (courtesy of Chemikal Underground) An exceptional, deluxe version of this very special album, ‘Everything’s Getting Older’ is available as a triple LP with two bonus 12″ and a host of extras… […]
One of the few consolations from having a quiet weekend because of Home Game is that we had time to get the noticeboard up positioned above the vinyl. Only another 96 jobs to go !
With two album club releases due in quick succession the first is the stunning (don’t retweet that Aidan) new album from Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat “Everything’s Getting Older”.

We also have the EP from Where We Lay Our Heads featuring members of SHMB for £2.99. Jenny Soep’s exhibition has been so popular we have extended it […]
After reappearing at the beginning and end of the day yesterday Mark E. Smith (some say lookalike) appeared again today for the These Fading Polaroids set and later for the Edinburgh School for the Deaf. He then disappeared for the rest of the day. However just as I reached the other end of the Grassmarket […]
Couldn’t get away until 6pm so caught a little of The Last Battle who sounded great as usual. Managed to see all of Ballboy’s set which opened with some hen party dancing and then was spoilt/enhanced by Mark E. Smith / a Mark E. Smith lookalike dancing at the front for the rest of the […]
