Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands October 2023
Ever since 2010 I’ve kept track of the music I listen to each month. It’s fascinating to see how some bands stay with me over the years whilst others have their moment on my stereo before vanishing from my mind… well, until years later when I check out to see what I was listening to … Continue reading Angus’ Most Played Top 100 Bands October 2023
GIG 324: Project Pitchfork / Chaos Engine – The Underworld, 3rd April 1997

It was a Thursday night, and a friends (Banshee) birthday, although he didn't come to the gig but a … Continue reading GIG 324: Project Pitchfork / Chaos Engine – The Underworld, 3rd April 1997
(RPG PDF Spotlight) Kuro
Kuro RPG Core Rulebook by Le 7eme Cercle I lost Miko during the Kuro incident. She was driving when the light from the missile exploded over Tokyo.

(Poetry) Memories (I)
Along with reams of short stories, and longer attempts at fiction, I’ve written countless poems over the decades. The bulk were written in my teens and twenties and I literally have folders full of handwritten and typewritten compositions. I’d been threatening to put a selection into print since the mid-90’s. I remember discussing it with … Continue reading (Poetry) Memories (I)

US band Pist*On were the live band at Feet First at Camden Palace on this evening.

A Year in Movies…. 1980 Top 5
I'm a massive movie fan. I have been ever since I was a kid. Trips to the cinema were wondrous events... not least because back in the 80's we still had usherettes who sold chocolate and ice creams in the screen. they also sold cigarettes - and people could smoke in the screen - so … Continue reading A Year in Movies…. 1980 Top 5
GIG 322: Skunk Anansie / Gravity Kills – Brixton Academy, 18th March 1997
I'd just seen Gravity Kills headline The Garge a couple of days before this gig, but was now south of the river down in Brixton to see them again, this time supporting Skunk Anansie. Surprisingly this was the first time I was seeing Skunk Anansie live. I'd met them a year or so earlier at … Continue reading GIG 322: Skunk Anansie / Gravity Kills – Brixton Academy, 18th March 1997

GIG 321: Gravity Kills / Dying Yours – The Garage, 16th March 1997
I first discovered Gravity Kills, along with probably most poeple at the time, when they released their debut single 'Guilty' in 1996. It got loads of play round the club circuit and I snapped up their self-titled debut album on the back of it. I was big into industrial music at the time and the … Continue reading GIG 321: Gravity Kills / Dying Yours – The Garage, 16th March 1997
