  In 2005, k-punk and fellow traveller Scanshifts assembled an audiomentary called londonunderlondon for Resonance FM. A sonic dérive and an expression of Mark’s “pulp modernism”, it wove original voice recordings (including from several guest Dissensians) with traces of Wiley, Metalheadz, Delia Derbyshire and John Foxx, among others. My description at the time: ‘like a beautiful dark […]

Luke says, “People keep crossing over. What do they know that we don’t?” My first persisting impression when I read that Mark Fisher (k-punk, to to a lot of us) had passed on was that there was some glitch in my Fb feed, a surreal error. Or that it was some pointed rhetorical move on […]

“And you’ll never hear music like this again” – MC GQ (AWOL tape, 1993) Maybe it’s time to revive ‘Forward Sound,’ though maybe in the plural.

Martin the Imploder is a funny man and he’s thoroughly taken the mick out of me and our whole little inbred blog scene. “NO!!” Bill screamed, jerking upright in bed. His duvet was soaked in sweat, it was 4.30am. It had been a nightmare! He lit a Marlboro with trembling hands and tried to steady […]

I’m suddenly very busy, which is why the Kode9 + Space Ape review still hasn’t appeared. It should only be a couple of days though.

Just a short lull while I get back into gear at school. Watch for my review of Kode9 + The Space Ape Memories of the Future LP next week, and my blogariddims contribution next month. Also bits on urban exploration and whatever else comes up. Many thanks to those who’ve linked me already. Until then, […]
