I’m off work with a cold, so…..
Due to being infected with death-germs I’m currently sitting in my flat bored out of my mind. The second load of laundry is on and I’ve watched all the documentaries on BBC iPlayer. “So bloody what?” I hear you cry. Well, as I’ve got nothing to do and the cat is ignoring me I decided [...]
Hipster metal. Or is it just popular?
Now here’s a hot topic if ever there was one; ‘Hipster metal’. This is something that I’ve been giving a fair bit of thought to recently, mainly thanks to the release of The Sword’s new album, Warp Riders.

Success? How very dare you!
There’s been a debate running on Thee Big Black’s forum for a while now as to whether or not stoner/doom is going to be the next ‘thing’ in the metal world. Initially sparked by a comment on another forum (there’s a link at the start of the thread) moaning about how trendy stoner and doom [...]
Kitsch Compression
Apparently I live my life on Twitter at the moment, even after swearing to rid my life of this bitesize scourge. Anyway, occasionally you get a nugget of pure genius pop up that really makes your day. Here’s one such morsel from his zanyship Devin Townsend: @dvntownsend In 10 years or less, uber-compression will have [...]
