Ok, so I’ve missed a few weeks… But to be honest, I’ve probably listened to the same guilty pleasures over and over in that time. I can’t wait until I get a new job: I’ll spend so much money on new music, it’ll be like the HMV sale on student […]

This week: a Glastonbury inspired playlist. I still have plenty to watch on the BBC website, but these are some of my favourites so far. I haven’t uploaded videos from the festival, but full sets can all be watched via the BBC link. Catfish & The Bottlemen – Kathleen I […]
Playlist of the Week #4: Inspired by Glastonbury
I haven’t listened to a whole lot of music this week, something I really should make a point of doing since I decided to start this regular post series! With that in mind, this week’s playlist is a rather diverse mix… Annie (Official Soundtrack) – It’s a Hard Knock Life […]
Playlist of the Week #3: As Seen on TV (and a Guilty Pleasure)
I found something I actually wanted to watch on BBC4 this week! A documentary that wasn’t about religion or art: Punk Britannia. OK, so the programme is 3 years old, but I missed it first time around, so it was like it was new. Anyway, it was the second of […]
Playlist of the Week #2: Punk History (and a bit of Rock & Roll)
After looking back on an old post about music, I’ve decided to start a regular weekly post: my Playlist of the Week. I’ll post videos of 3 songs that have been in my head in the last week for one reason or another. Coolio – Rolling with the Homies Clueless […]
Playlist of the Week #1
I cannot believe I haven’t posted about Masters in France before! They’re awesome – just watch their videos on YouTube, and add them on Twitter and Facebook. You won’t be sorry. And here’s their latest single Flexin’… Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Masters in France
Tell us how your week went by putting together a playlist of songs that represent it. Daily Prompt My week has been one of forgetfulness, awkwardness and general rubbishness. I’ve been forgetting about doing basic things, a haircut appointment, and all the things people rely on me for. I used […]

Much like the Rage campaign in 2009, there is an attempt for an alternative Christmas Number 1 in 2011: Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Rage was a momentous occasion. ‘Killing in the Name’ is an anthem, and it brought together people who were fed up of the usual X Factor […]
Nirvana for Christmas Number One!!
I read this post tonight and felt compelled to leave a comment. Although my own finding work situation has been different (and is about to change again) the feeling that you work so hard on so many job applications to get next to nothing in return is crushing. There is […]
Silence is not the way. We need to talk about it.
Just a brief observation about the recent disasters around the world: The Queensland floods affected an area the size of France and Germany, and approximately 200,000 people. About 12 people have died and dozens are missing. Damages are estimated at billions of dollars. The Sri Lanka floods affected more than […]
Disasters: What Makes Them Newsworthy?
If it’s at all possible, I think I love Tom Gabel even more, now that I have his solo album as well as the Against Me! albums.

My friends’ band, Lady Scarlet, played a gig in a local pub on Saturday night. It wasn’t packed but those of us who were there really enjoyed it. Check out videos of some of the songs on my youtube channel, especially their version of Dizzee Rascal’s Bonkers. Apologies for the […]
Lady Scarlet
Gig in Manchester, 2nd June 2010. Got totally squashed down the front but worth it! Everything I hoped for and more… More photos on my Flickr site.
Against Me!
Photos from their gig in Moho Live, Manchester on 30th March 2010. My first Strung Out gig and it was awesome! I was right at the front which was fab, but I didn’t want to lose my spot so didn’t mosh too much. Still got a case of mosher’s neck […]
