Why? at London 93 Feet East, Tue 14 Oct
Ten minutes in, and already why? (on anticon – capital letters are so lame) is getting twitchy. On his last visit to UK shores, he was greeted by a crowd comprised almost exclusively of industry types, hungry for a gander at one of the men behind seminal hip-hoppers cLOUDDEAD. But tonight, barely a hand is raised.»

Coheed and Cambria at London Camden Underworld, Wed 08 Oct
Coheed & Cambria should be an emo band. Indeed, prior to this show I was led to believe exactly that. With this show coming at the end of a tour with the kings/queens (depending on your opinion) of heart-broken hysterics, Thursday, and with Further Seems Forever playing second-fiddle, everything's in place for a night of grown men whining about lost loved-ones to a bunch of backpack-clad kids who'd give anything for a group hug. Only, the emo never arrives.»

The Cornerstones - Smack Me In The Face
I wanted to hate this, trust me. In fact, I really wanted to hate this - not only is one of these guys' dad an ex-Spurs player, but their biography states proudly that they've also enjoyed "...guest slots with the likes of Oasis and Finley Quaye." Ergh. But, try as I might, I don't hate it.»
Dutch Hardcore Threesomes Across UK
No, no, NO! Not that kind of hardcore threesome - Holland's Feverdream (think The Van Pelt, Shellac etc) are touring the UK this month.

Further Seems Forever's Funeral For A Friend

Feverdream - Future Directions
With tours alongside Les Savy Fav and Blonde Redhead in their native Holland under their belt, it’s hardly a surprise when Feverdream come across like something akin to The Van Pelt, or even Blonde Redhead themselves.»
Various - Kill Bill Vol.1 - Original Soundtrack
Tarantino got lucky twice – Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction both spawned soundtrack records that almost surpassed the films themselves. Lightning didn’t strike a third time though – Jackie Brown was a relative flop. This time he’s been a little craftier, electing not to put all his eggs in one basket. Two films – hence the Vol. 1 – equals two soundtrack records, the first of which is, well, okay.»
