The engineer's view on the Buzzcocks classic
The singer announces from the stage 'We'd like to play you some new songs now'.The audience, from the floor, hears 'Run away, run away, the building is on fire!'.
It is with great sadness that I report the death of the black Ramones T-shirt.
Here's an article by Stuart Bailie from the Belfast Telegraph about Terri Hooley - surely a statue's on the way soon.
If you get a chance, listen to this documentary.
Good Vibrations records remembered (pt 1)

Mickey recalls the day he shared a stage with rock icon Ian Curtis.

Thursday 05 November 2009
Records tonight from The Mumps, The Jam, The Chesterfields and The Birthday Party. Band names are always much better when they're preceded by 'The'. Another reason to despise Genesis and Led Zeppelin while cherishing The Users and The Lurkers. (Of course Magazine and Captain Beefheart then come along and puncture my theory.)
