I’ve had this album for a while. Last year I listened to it once, was impressed, listened to it again, thought ‘this has good chance of becoming a contender for top 10 albums of 2003 or some such silly nonsense like that’. And then I promptly forgot about it completely. Enter late August 2004, stage [...]

Kate Rogers – St. Eustacia
August 16, 2004 – 22:17
Canadian songstress Kate Rogers is probably best known for her collaborations with artists Aim and Rae&Christian. Her work on Aim’s truly monumental “Sail” got her some attention, and proved beyond a doubt that her voice is among the leaders in the biz. Haunting, delicate, beautiful, and on that track slightly unintelligible. Now she releases St. [...]
Ted Leo/Pharmacists – live review
July 17, 2004 – 21:00
Expectations can be a real bitch. I’d been keenly looking forward to the Ted Leo show at Call the Office for a rather long time. It was a strange situation: I found out they were playing at CTO a month and a bit ago, and the name sounded familiar, so I looked into them… and [...]

THE UNICORNS Live at Call The Office in London – June 1st, 2004 This was one of the more disappointing concerts I’ve been to. I did have high expectations, though. And one bonus, out of focus (because I forgot to use the flash) picture of the anti-racism consortium held on stage during the end of [...]
Quannum. Kool Haus. Apr 12.
April 12, 2004 – 21:00
Quannum is an underground hip hop record lable, and my favourite one at that. At least for this show, Quannum consisted of: Blackalicious (Gift of Gab produced by Chief Xcel), Latyrx (Lyrics Born, Lateef the Truthspeaker), Lifesavas (Vursatyl, Jumbo the Garbageman), plus solo performances in various capacities by most of those involved, and other combinations [...]

I think I mentioned yesterday that i’ve really been into The Decemberists lately. Sunday was basically taken up by me falling in love with that thing they do. Songs that tell stories, often intriguing, varied and historical stories (one of the things I like about Nick Cave) which is something I love to see. A [...]
