Immergrün

February 27, 2010

I dusted off the D700 last night to take some shots of Rox’s friend’s band, Immergrün, at the Schlosskeller here in Darmstadt.  It’s a pretty cool little venue but awkward to take photos, as while it’s fairly intimate there’s huge columns in the way (well, it is a cellar…) that kind of limit your options.

Excellent Italian Greyhound

February 9, 2010

Unless you’re a real dog lover (or you’re ultra bored), you’ll probably want to skip to about 2:50 for the appearance of the one and only Todd Trainer, Uffizi, and the rest of Shellac. :

Ask a music scene micro celebrity

July 16, 2007

Here’s a worthwhile read while you’re avoiding work this morning. It’s a thread started by Steve Albini on a gambling site’s message board – he’s known for being a pretty hardcore poker player – covering all aspects of his music ‘career’, including working with Nirvana, Pixies, The Jesus Lizard, and so on.

All Yesterday’s Parties

May 21, 2007

I’ll keep this short – ATP was fucking ace. Butlin’s was a real surprise (in a good way) and the lineup was unreal. I’m up for going to the next one but I’ll be amazed if the bands playing are half as decent…
Highlights were definitely seeing Shellac play twice (three days if you [...]

It’s a sign

April 20, 2007

The new Santa Rosa equipped Apple laptops can’t come quick enough for me really (click for big):

I’m hoping that it’s a one-off, but as that’s the first time I’ve seen that happen in the 18 months I’ve owned the laptop it’s probably a sign of impending doom. Time to take advantage of my [...]

Malaligned

March 4, 2007

After missing them tour almost as many times as I saw Bluetip play, I finally managed to see Retisonic at the Barfly in Camden Town. They put on a good show and I managed to fire off a few photos from the front, but as it was pretty packed in there (the Barfly is [...]

Guy Picciotto Interview

December 27, 2006

There’s a halfway interesting interview with Guy Picciotto over here. Mainly goes on about his work on the recent Blood Brothers album, but there’s a couple of other amusing questions tucked in there as well:
“The term ‘emo’ certainly wasn’t in circulation when Rites of Spring was a band so I don’t know how the [...]
