If you buy my score for Everybody To Kenmure Street then i won’t have to be in financial arrears with my pals in mogwai and…….myself? Comes out this friday. Save me from embarrassment and ridicule. rockactionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/everyb...

Because of my extraordinarily great taste in music I’ve pre-ordered this, so you probably should too

Wooooh! The debut album from IRKED is finally scheduled for release! "The Grievance" comes on coke-bottle green vinyl and a super-limited, Bandcamp-and-gigs-only yellow vinyl too. Plus download, obv. In shops May 1st but you can bag a copy on pre-order NOW irked1.bandcamp.com/album/the-gr...

Enjoyed rewatching Stalker, although the bit during the opening scene when Stalks & his Mrs are lying awake in bed as a passing train makes that bloody glass rattle around the table will always be really annoying- just stick a bit of paper towel under it or something for God’s sake people!
