    Playlist // Songs for a Nuclear War

    As I write this, the world’s two biggest babies are having a boo boo and shouting ‘My button’s bigger than yours’ at each other.

    So while we look at the back of the cupboards for our potassium iodine tablets that went out of date in the 1980’s, I thought I’d spend my time helping mankind, by putting a Spotify playlist together of some music to keep you company during the impending nuclear war.

  • Tune Of The Week 19/08/2011: Brett Anderson

    In May this year, I was delighted to be able to see Suede in The Olympia, they put on an amazing show and Brett Anderson showed he was a fantastic frontman, without even uttering a word to the audience. Brett’s fourth solo album ‘Black Rainbow’ is out on September 26th and ‘Brittle Heart’ is the first single from it.
