bits-n-pieces

hello.

first things first. a simple piece of paper sells for money on the internet. and people are interested. why ?

it has the words 'arctic monkeys' written on it. fantastic. interested? then go loook-n-bid : here

also, i have to mention a great book (book !) that dropped through my inbox recently. it's simply called 'the festive fifty' and has been put together by mark whitby. as the name implies, this is a complete and very thorough rundown on the john peel festive fifty, with more lists, analysis and personal insight, than anyone should ever feel compelled to compile. but amazingly, mark has done this deed, and a damn fine job he has done to. it's a wonderfully addicitve archive of information, and provides a fascinating snapshot year on year of the predominantly uk music scene of each year. totally recommended.

details : 'the festive fifty' - by mark whitby. published by nevin publishing (isbn 0-9548317-0-5) for a mere 12 pounds.

music wise - well i'm still rediscovering the ROC back catalogue, i mean has anyone told you how great their track 'dear nicky' is off their first album ? no. well that's a serious let down. go find it out there on the wires or state an interest in the usual places and i may sort out a freebie download.
