Shooting the Shit

On the DECKS.....currently

I dribble over my psyche cornflakes to this every morning...

Cable

My favourite band of all time, CABLE (Super Riffs & Ultra Chords) are reuniting and playing their first show in over 13 years tomorrow night in Derby.  As a 16 year old kid they pretty much changed my life, whether it was their angular guitar work, noisy freakouts, or black humour toward the music industry, i was transfixed. They were easily the best band to come out of our neck of the woods in a long time. Im beyond excited....see you in the pit.
