Hardcore Heaven

I've just added a new link in the sidebar, but I reckon the site's worthy of a plug to get your attention.

So, for those who haven't yet stumbled upon this treasure trove of punk delight, head on over to Kill From The Heart and immerse yourself in probably the most comprehensive repository of global 80's [...]

Surprise!

Well, not exactly. But I'm not dead, just in case anyone was wondering.

I've been pretty busy IRL, and haven't had an ounce of spare time for what seems like aeons but is actually only a few weeks. Much of that time has included knocking up a website for some good friends of mine. And trust [...]

The Kids Are Alright

Randy (of Insurgence and Rebel Time) has recently been spreading the word about a bunch of young upstarts collectively known as The Class War Kids. Having checked out the tracks that Randy's posted on one of his blogs, I know why he's so keen. They're very, very good.

In an email to Randy I [...]

Beardies And Baldies Against Bombs

A couple of mates of mine, Beardy Rob (aka Robert) and Ratty (aka Richard) are doing a great (and knackering just to think about) thing – they're cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats (about 1000 miles) to raise money for the Mines Advisory Group. For those who don't know, MAG works to clear [...]

1 400g can of chick peas (approx 250g cooked weight)
1-2 tbs tahini (sesame paste)
1-3 cloves of garlic, depending on how much you like garlic, peeled
3 tbs olive oil (you [...]

Risotto takes a little bit of effort during the cooking, but it's nothing too excessive for the soft n' creamy end result. You can easily vary the ingredients to change the experience quite dramatically. This particular version is [...]
