Conceived by pop svengali "Kolonel" Kek-W as the west country's response to the early 90's boy band craze, Westlite comprised the following:Psychbloke (the one with the big lips)Glitch (the one who left to become a farmer, like that Alex James from Blur)Gutta (the 'urban' one who had to do the ...
... from punk to post-punk, a wrench in time, a spastic transposing of the timeline from the Sex Pistols USA tour to the launch of PIL into the late 80s, a decade on and nothing has changed; same troubles with the lead singers who more or less get ditched in ...
Martin on Crass reminded me of the first band I was in, which reminded me other things which I can't go into.Our first proper band was called The Rejected (not randomly chosen - we were once rejected from the school common room for trying to play Dead Kennedys tapes ). ...
From the days when he had a crystal eye and jacked tabs, Richard Norris has plumbed psyche for all it's worth... He's kept with it; straining to hear drumbeats and synth washes where they might have been or should have been in bargain basement, zero album, lost 7" garage bands ...

The self-titled CD-R by Children Eating Birds (available here) dreams it's way through earlyish Animal Collective territory with a smattering of the woodfunk of the Wooden Wand folk... you know the drift here : melodies lightly scraped from bark; deer-lick tunings; accordian drones that crossover each other like people are ...
Enjoying Heroes, especially because the trailer features The End Of The World, everyone's favourite (okay - etc) Skeeter Davis song and my favourite apocaplyptic pop-country ballad. It's so resoundingly Goth it reminds me of the Pete Murphy look-a-likes that used to (still, really) hang around Yeovil College, trying to keep ...
There's a very limited CDR release from the Cyclobe/Coil/ Lemon Kittens related Amal Gamal Ensemble available at the Cyclobe website - I haven't got mine but I seem to remember Cloudboy saying nice things about their live incarnation at the Cube (he lives there, I think). They're also playing an ...
