If only we felt this energetic this morning. David Lee Roth is a total and utter legend.

If you’re not going to Bestival or End Of The Road then your only chance to see the euphoric Akron/Family will be either; in London at The Luminaire next monday, the 8th, or the following night in Nottingham at The Bodega Social Club. Fans of Pink Floyd, beards or free association rally around the flag! 

  Liverpool’s finest thrash fanatics return with a new album and if you’re in the area you should get to this gig. Entrance is 99p. Yep 99p. Credit crunch, my arse. 

We’ve been listening to this on a fairly heavy rotation in the last week or so as we steer the good ship issue 7 across the turbulent seas of unanswered emails, unanswered phone-calls, cancelled interviews and low resolution photography. It has helped. Bringing together Dark Throne’s first four EPs in one re-packaged place if you’re a fan of Norwegian Black Metal, Norway or indeed Metal you need to have this.      

Issue 6 should be sitting in stores in a week or so and amongst the goodness contained within it is an interview with Voice Of The Seven Woods‘ Rick Tomlinson. Here’s a snap of the man himself looking just about as happy as someone who hates having their photo taken can be. 

Going to see Fucked Up play in London once again this evening. I am sure it’ll be good. It always is. 

If you can’t make it tonight you can catch them in November.

Cute as kittens in an old shoe this little documentary revolves around Paul Mawhinney and his truly epic record collection. Sadly Paul is being forced to sell his shelves and shelves of long players and this be his story. Enjoy.

Same time, same place and probably the same hangover. See you all there once all the free booze has ran out at the Lee Jeans shindig. Yay!
