    RC 291: Out of the Window

    Out of the window and what can I see?Scaffold is gone and they are coming for me. Yes the four month ordeal of ScaffoldGate is over, JUST in time for winter to appear so all the birds to have disappeared and the garden and outlook looks grumpy outside the window. Dark times ahead, from Kavanaugh…

  • Low Triptych

    Low Triptych

    I’ve been listening to Double Negative – in fact my mask from when they played live in August is just a few feet away – and the album is taking some time to settle with it’s ‘Beach House’ and chillwave distortion and vocal effects…Quorum was such a shock I was like – do I like…

  • Touched 2

    Touched 2

    I tweeted about the first Touched compilation a few weeks back, and Touched Two came out a few days ago. It’s well worth getting as well – not only 255 tracks for £12 which is great value, but all for a good cause (Macmillan Cancer Support charity). Although a large download I’ve been listening to…

  • Fiorucci made me Hardcore

    Fiorucci made me Hardcore

    I heard the new Jamie XX single (well new-ish) All Under One Roof Raving on 6Music and loved it, as someone who was there in the wings listening in, hardcore and rave will never die. And yes we kept it UK 😉 I then found out it was sampling this video by artist Mark Leckey…
