Interview With Alex Foti: Mayday Had Become A Funeral.

Don’t Mention Art Rock.
Photo is copyrighted to Lindsay Foley Sometimes a piece of art can represent more than just itself. Through how it intertwines with what’s around it, it can take on new meanings.

More Words On Zines..

This is an interview with a band called Adebisi Shank

The Lads From St Saviours.
photo credit: the justified sinner If you’ve ever entered the IFI at peak time, you’ll notice there’s a lot of people just standing around, standing around and waiting, for dates and friends.

Using a zoom recorder – Krossie and Groove go to a sleepy town in Somerset and end up in a chalet with a gang of 7 who dress in the floppy mad hatter hats of the little people. Our loveable rogue aliens report back from the music & events they go to in a Butlins holiday camp, this festival known as All Tomorrow’s Parties. They see bands, strange TV, chicken out of an intellectual pissing contest, interview people after a flash mob Mixtape (CD) swap and ask ‘how was it for them’, attend a lecture on Krautrock and mumble to each other in a banjaxed state in Bristol Airport. Enjoy this Special Edition as the Suburban Superheroes wake up in the Nightmare before Xmas.

SSH Prog. 16 -> Suburban Superheroes – Space Cinnamon Celb. Juice
The spudarchiz of Krossie & Groove are joined by Flossy in the studio which brings a little Zimmerman and stories about sounds to us. She listens to music through her ears and shows a healthy disrespect for the world of music nerdom of which we know nothing. Discussion ensues about the imminent collapse of this planet (again!) Cinnamon society, daytime TV and the idea of juicing celebrities all come into the mix and as if that wasn’t enough up pecks Chickenman. Join these aliens for another transmission home across Space.

Another wee mix for those of you that missed it. You can grab a download of it over here for your various pocket gadgets.
A “listening tour” and a “grassroots, organic, community-based campaign” – wow that hits all my buzz words. This Sean Gallagher man is like some sort of Subcommandante Marcos of post-Celtic Tiger Ireland. He’s getting my vote!
