Just out, 4DVD documentary set (misleading title as 'Soldier Girls' is missing, and some of the stuff's not so old). Going back to the 'Grim Britannia' thread which I can't find now, in terms of sheer grimness, it's hard to suggest much that matches 'Behind the Rent Strike' or 'Juvenile Liaison'...

Hi, does anyone know any good places to go out here? (this is the St Petersburg in Russia, just in case there's a town with the same name in Canada or something). Any decent markets? Good late-night clubs? Mad bars? Alternative, underground or just historic and interesting - any insider...

Has anyone used this? Are you able to stick samples into 'songs' with it? Can you distort guitar sounds on it? Is it easy to use for musically inept people? Interested in purely generic 3-chord thud, so not many demands to make on the software

Does anyone know if Haseena Atom Bomb, Mr 303 or International Gorillay have ever been released on DVD with English subtitles? I heard ...Gorillay was shown on British TV after Salman Rushdie requested they lift the ban on it, but sadly I must have missed it. Actually, even if they've never...

Nicked this from the Susan Lawly forum (it's the only decent thing on there) - Kevin Tomkins of Sutcliffe Jugend, obviously not giving up the day job http://www.crowboroughplayers.org.uk/prd_2005_01.htm this actually looks a lot less cringeworthy than the SJ gig in London last August

I only own one 'rare groove' album, which is this But what IS rare groove? A lot of the stuff on this I'd class as 'funk' or 'soul', depending on the tracks. This is a genuine question - how would you define 'rare groove'? I know Trojan put out a 'Rare Groove' Box Set as part of their...

Hi, I'm after two tickets for the June 20 Paraguay - Trinidad game (PARAGUAY end) - if any readers are based in Germany, could you please PLEASE let me know contact details for anywhere near you that's got them on general release, ta!!

Passing this on on behalf of someone I nicked a fanzine off... Laura Norder cordially invites you to the launch of SAVAGE MESSIAH 3 Wednesday 7th December 7pm The Foundry Old Street / Great Eastern Street vocoder readings, zine signings, nasty jungle, punk 7s, industrial noise and...

I was having a discussion with someone about anarcho-punk recently, and we were trying to work out a) the best band and b) the best A-punk album ever. This was quite a lengthy, thirst-inducing process, and included a number of highly controversial expulsions, which I'll relate here so you don't...

Excellent show on at moment, well worth checking out if yr in London, includes the Goya prints they defaced plus loads more psychotic child paintings.

Ignore ...

OK, I just want to start off by saying I don't idolise serial killers or harbour a deep loathing of women (not on Fridays anyway). If I was clever, I'd link the arrest of Wearside Jack (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4360026.stm) to some discussion about the simulated and the real. But...

I've recently discovered that my Irish grandfather obtained US citizenship in the 1920s. Really surreal black and white photo of him posing in a suit and cowboy hat. Anyway, I wonder, does this make me elegible for US citizenship too? Any info would be much appreciated.

I was recently listening to a batch of 1980 UK electro stuff, and came across a track by a group labelled Psychic Youth, called 'The Future Now' - it's good, but definitely not 'industrial', more similar to the first Ladytron album (from 2001) actually / uncannily..does anyone (ie- John Eden...

Anyone do this? Any recommendations for good places in London?

I was talking to someone on the weekend, and we both reached the same conclusion - we haven't seen one wasp this summer. Not one. This is really unusual, surely? None in my flat, none on the trains or buses. Am I just missing them, or has anyone else noted a distinct absence of wasps? What's...

It's pissing down in London! People half-jogging down Blackstock Road. Spurs have just proved that Tottenham rules when it comes to football by decimating Lyon 3-1 in the Peace Cup. And I've just dug out the first 3 Stranglers albums. I know this is like applying directly for a ban from...

Should they wear white?

Say someone gave you the chance to "curate" your own ATP. You have a fixed budget of £100. Which of the following artists would you employ for the event? You cannot stray beyond your allowance, and bear in mind that if you put on any old crap, you'll be subjected to a hundred poisonous posts...
