I'm not much for the ghost box. Feed me the odd tidbit of off-kilter British comedy/po-mo satire and I'll be a happy boy [see: Chris Morris - 'Jam', 'The Day Today', 'Brass Eye', 'Nathan Barley' and Armando Ianucci - 'Time Trumpet', 'The Armando Ianucci Show', 'The Day Today']

About me:
Writer of Music Reviews and Featurettes relating to electronic music and otherwise. No, I'm not a 'Hack' or a 'Critic'... I just write appraisals and considerations. Hopefully the opportunity will present itself for interested parties to Eat My Pudding, whatever the flavour. It's a pity we're forced to engage here in the Commodification of the Self, but there you go. There's always the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club. It's grim up north.

Hey Alan, how are you? Sorry to bother you, just wondered if you wanted to hear this remix I’ve done of the new Radiohead single? Any support would be amazing. Thanks loads and speak soon
Come and join SPC ECO at the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town, on December the 3rd, and celebrate the release of their first 7" vinyl featuring the tracks 'You're Alright' and 'Another Day' through Club AC30. Rose, Dean and Harry will be joined on stage by ex Curve members Debbie Smith (Guitar) and Steve Monti (Drums). Also playing are the fantastic Black Holes. This is a one off and promises to be one hell of a night so try and get there if you can. Check my blog or the forums for ticket links and more info. Pre-order the single and look at the art work here http://www.clubac30.com
