CRASS - Stations Of The Crass CD (Remastered)

The same general observations I made about the previous remastered CD release apply equally here too, with one exception. This time round, the bonus tracks are fucking amazing!

They were recorded live in BBC studios for one of the world-renowned Peel Sessions in March 1979, where sadly-missed DJ and nation's favourite uncle John Peel would champion [...]

CRASS - The Feeding Of The Five Thousand CD (Remastered)

CRASS. The point where it really all began as far as I'm concerned. The band that gave punk the direction it needed to go if it was to really mean anything, and who called it a day when they felt they'd said everything they could as a collective unit. And, although they've been almost completely [...]

Sonic Boom Six - Rude Awakening CD/LP

For anyone not yet familiar with this bunch of cheeky Mancs, you could do worse than pick up either (or both) of these juicy releases. Hand-picked by the band, the tracks on show represent the finest fruits of the skapunkdubfunkmetaljungle tree. Tunes have been collected from their earliest works to their most recent offerings, with [...]

Red Lentil, Coconut & Lime Dhal

This is my own adaptation of one of my favourite comfort foods, the humble lentil dhal, made more sexy and substantial with the addition of a load of lovely veg. It goes great with plain basmati rice, a good leafy salad and maybe a chapati too. Don't be put off by the long list of [...]

Mushroom & Lentil Crumble

Now's the time of year to start thinking about heartier foods, the kind of solid scran you need to get you through the long cold nights and grey days. Crumbles are ideal, and not just the sweet ones that you can pack with seasonal fruits (blackberries in particular are superb right now). This recipe provides [...]

Snug As A Bug In A Bottle

Being a simple chap I'm a big fan of simple ideas, especially if they're free / cheap. They don't get much cheaper or simpler than the lacewing hotel [PDF file] I stumbled across yesterday. I managed to make two in a few minutes this afternoon with stuff that was readily to hand (the only thing [...]

The Interview Part 2

Dee: Right, let's take it back a bit and delve into the beginnings of your exposure into this seedy world of Punk Rock, what was the [...]
