Nineties free party collective. Check 'em out. www.myspace.com/spiraltribe

Awesome news. Lookin' forward to catching 'em this time round. Missed 'em so so many times. Check out their main page here: OfficialDamned.com - The Damned official website

the return of Back To The Planet Yep, splitting in 1995, these skankin' crusties are back, and oh my god, I just cannot contain my excitement. Truly amazing news. So if a blend of ska, dub, and dance floats yer boat, then check 'em out here: Back To The Planet - home and on Myspace here: www.myspace.com/backtotheplanet And track down their two awesome full lengths if ya can. Was lucky enough to catch 'em on three separate occasions '94 and '95 - at The Garage London with Scarfo, at Shepherds Bush Empire with Chumbawamba, and at London's Astoria with Scum Of Toytown. Shit, this just makes me so happy.

Hey, The Levellers were just awesome playin' a cool selection of oldies - 15 Years, Hope Street, The Boatman, One Way, The Riverflow, Beautiful Day, and more. Great. My only disappointment was that we didn't get to hear Belaruse, Exodus, and my own personal favourite This Garden. The Hussys? Um... let's just say they weren't quite to my taste.

Hadn't intended on making this show, initially planning on catching The Hijacks at Ska Sunday, but I'm so glad I did. Made it along with friends, one of whom saw Roy at the very first Knebworth Festival in 1974.

Did anyone else here catch folk legend Roy Harper Sunday, and if so, what did you think? Unaccustomed as I am to shows of this kind, I was nevertheless deeply impressed by both the man and his music. Amusing and brilliant. If folks wanna check out Roy's work, or would simply like to find out more about the man, then check out his main web page here: Roy Harper Official Info and Shop

Feelin' kinda bad, but I've decided to go see Roy Harper at The Lemon Tree instead. My only disappointment is not seeing The Hijacks, but hey, I'm sure I'll have lots more opportunities to do so. Have a great show folks.

Next Saturday.

The Hijacks rocked at the Oi Polloi show March, lookin' forward to catching 'em again.

And regarding said opinion pieces, I'd recommend folks check out Dave's quite excellent piece on political correctness. Definitely worthy of a read. And hey, wrote a piece myself. Called The Revolution Betrayed, it goes some way to explain my dissatisfaction with the anarcho-punk community, or rather with today's community. The zine overall? Congrats on another fine piece of work. Folks should definitely pick one up. And hey, ya got an interview with the awesome The King Blues too.

Thanks to everyone who came along and who made it a successful and enjoyable evening.

Authoritarianism? Man I expressed only what I thought. Are you suggesting that if I see something with which I don't agree, then I should say nothing? Authoritarianism indeed. Really, you're thinking is somewhat confused. And I gotta say that I find any such accusations - particularly when made by someone who holds with the beliefs of state socialism, frankly laughable. And regarding individual freedom, should we according to this view then permit folks to say and do whatever they please however insulting or dangerous these may be, or harm they may cause? Yes, we should indeed seek to defend people's individual freedoms, but only where they do not impinge upon those of others. And regarding my taking offence, you see nothing at all offensive in Alkaline's post? But then as we both know, this is not the first time that you've made similar insensitive and offensive remarks, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. And yes, you did indeed indeed say the man was an idiot, but only when challenged.
