expletive undeleted - Some great accounts of seeing Crass and Jah Shaka in the north of England in the early 80s. Also some nice observations on the film Babylon. Works for me!

Kingsland slammed the megaphone handle into his critic’s temple, causing the whining, posing tossbag to collapse into a crumpled heap. “ATTACK!!” George screamed - the signal for the great unwashed of the Clapton Brew Crew to charge through the crowd, kicking and punching anything that moved!
A hail of Merrydown bottles, filled with piss, rained down on the stage, drenching Bassey and her backing band. The crusties’ dogs sunk their fangs into Fratellis fans, while a group of Young Conservatives, who’d travelled all the way from Inverness just to catch new indie sensations The Monday Club, cried out in torment as paraboot after paraboot pounded against their vital organs.
BEYOND THE IMPLODE: “FESTIVAL!”

I’ve moved to a new spiffy webhost. Whilst doing this some things have been lost, notably a few pics and commments from this blog. Apologies for that - what passes for normal service here will resume shortly.

A new blog actually worth checking from the off. Proper unhinged business.

Today we give thanks to the creators of the Akismet plugin for blogs. Since installing it about a year ago, this little critter has stopped 20,282 spam comments from appearing on this blog.
10,000 of these were in the last two weeks, so this is not something which has passed its sell-by date.
Akimset is free to download for personal use and now comes bundled with wordpress, but it works with a number of other things as well. My heartfelt thanks to everyone involved!

I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.2 and started using the Fluid Blue 1.0 theme.
So things look a little different and this blog now supports “widgets”. The first of these is a “recent comments” section at the top of the sidebar.
I doubt many people are all that interested in this, but I’d just like to thank all the volunteers who’ve worked on wordpress coding and Srinivasan for making a theme which is similar to my previous one, but better.

I’ve still got mixed feelings about this, but:
