So Glastonbury was a bit of a blur. A happy, messy, cider-drenched, balloon-filled adventure that involved high-pitched puppet-U2-karaoke, dancing to gabba at the silent disco whilst everyone else sings The Beatles, imaginary photo-booths that somehow still charge six quid, losing the funk and god knows how many other things I’ve blanked from my memory. My [...]

A little while ago I pointed out that the DAB radio station BBC 6 Music was in danger of being shutdown [read that blog here]. Hopefully, you followed my advice and wrote to the BBC asking them WTF they thought they were doing. Hopefully, you filled out the petitions and the BBC’s consultation thing. If [...]

Sadly they were foreign language films and, I don’t know, I think my DVD player’s gone zenophobic or something as it wouldn’t let us turn on the subtitles. Not speaking Japanese or Catonese we decided to sack it off. One of [...]

I kinda feel like the whole Save 6Music campaign is losing steam and I really don’t want that to happen. After a huge spike of interest on social networks, people became incensed at the thought of losing this incredibly important and innovative radio station, but now, I guess people have lost interest or forgotten. What [...]

At some point over the weekend I spent many hours plundering YouTube for so-shit-they’re-amazing ’90s music videos with my friends. We were hunting for classic r’n’b, hip-hop, reggae and dancehall and OMG I forgot how good this shit is. Freakin’ awesome outfits for a start (seriously, sometimes I watch House Party just to get outfit [...]
