London's most popular (and only) cassette magazine returns in 2015. Alongside the usual selection of UK punky's finest (including exclusives from freak punks SEMI, No Form side-project BAD MANIFEST and Bristol punk poppers CARAMEL), there are interviews from the first three months of DIY SPACE FOR LONDON's existance.

Side A: KATIE ALICE GREER (PRIESTS) talks about the need for autonomous spaces, ANDY JONES (THE FLEX) gets excited about the new wave, HATE FILLED KIDS and MARCUS GILES (SEMI) get moshed through a table and SHEER MAG talk about their synth pop doppelganger. Music from SEMI, CIANURO, SONIC ORDER, BAD MANIFEST (members of NO FORM) and BORDER.

Side B: As NO end their five years of performing like their instruments were falling part, TOM HALL sums up their trajectory, STRIKE! MAGAZINE celebrate their anthology launch, BIG JOANIE reveal their plans for world domination and there is merchandise speculation from CHRIS BRESS (THE LOWEST FORM), ELLIE ROBERTS (GOOD THROB) and TOTAL CONTROL. Music from CARAMEL (members of JOANNA GRUESOME), EFIALTIS, NO, GLOSS REJECTION and ACTUAL CRIMES.

100 copies and the internet. C60. All profits will go towards DSFL's operation and refurbishment costs. Make your own media, nerds.

Still found it odd that Radio 4 asked Williamson for an election vox pop. VOICE OF THE NATION. You can say 'shit' on British radio at ten in the morning. Not sure about 'bunch of cunts'.

Suggestions are being taken for AS3. Sending a copy for review, looking forward to reading it next May. If you're a US distro, got twenty or so copies remaining, can I send them to you?

Worth finding if only for the 'I Am A Workplace Shitter' expos?. Could always scan? (Would need a scanner.)

Music Shit / Re: Best shows you've seen in 2014 so far?

« on: November 13, 2014, 01:05:33 PM »

after that i was sick in the toilets, tried to listen to some more bands but hated everything and so went home.

You should have gone to the Turkish bookshop cafe down the road and had a scolding hot coffee. Missed The Flex and DiE to have a sit down there, it was worth the lack of stomping. NO FORM were something else, hope it was worth the nausea.

S.H.I.T. destroyed London, and somebody's ear, on both nights. Saturday's set was one of the performances of the year for sure. Dawn of Humans, tho.

Other than this weekend, seeing Hysterics twice, UV Race twice and being in the lucky position to see Frau, The Lowest Form, No and SEMI play every two weeks for the past nine months would fill the rest of my list.

One half of the Instant Automatons was a contestant on popular BBC teatime quiz Pointless. He won the trophy but not the jackpot.

Just saw them live. Astounding. Far beyond my highest expectations. That good.

Jealous. How were The Lowest Form?

Still wondering if they'll end up massive by the end of the year. Playing the Electric Ballroom next year, bloody hell...

I guess so... turns out the promoter is an old school acquaintance! Its in March he says. Terminal boredom meetup in scunthorpe next year.

It'll be quite the occasion. (Who's the promoter, please shock me with news of a burgeoning DIY crust scene at the Lincoln Imp). Plan to stick a microphone under their noses for a future tape up there.
