After a nine year wait, I finally got to see Hank III perform live last Sunday night (13th Sept). I’ll cut to the chase by saying that it didn’t disappoint. In fact, it excelled any expectations that I may have had. I travelled (once again) from Galway, the bog’s arse of Ireland over to London [...]
Regular readers and visitors to these shores (Quick, what’s that behind you? Nothing? Well, you’ve looked away and back again, which now makes you a regular reader.) will know that I have been a long-time admirer of the art of Tom Brown of Copper Age fame.

Only walking up to the densely foliated parks, did crowds begin to assimilate and flow into the slipstreams. Promoters handed out [...]
When I was away, I discovered that there is a massive pop sensation in France known as Sliimy. He’s poised to take over the States at the moment. He’s being lauded over there by the E! Network and the staggeringly detestable Perez Hilton. It’s kind of like if Mika and Lightspeed Champion had a baby [...]
Friday number nine is upon us and this week, there has been another slight change of style in the Zombiehamster Mixtapes
