The Sound of Fear

Assuming that they've bent the railway lines back into shape, I'll be heading up to King's Lynn on Friday to talk for two hours about music in horror films, before the evening screening of Nosferatu with live music from Minima Music.

Shindig! No.129

For this month's Shindig! Magazine I was lucky enough to sit down transatlantic-style with ex-Limelight Records boss Robin McBride and hear about that whirlwind spell at the end of the '60s when the label turned out discs by the Fifty Foot Hose, Ruth White, Beaver & Krause, and a host of other psychedelic electronic pioneers. You can enjoy the results of my good fortune - and disagree with my choice of ten lesser known tracks from the label's brief but storied history - in a special Deep Cuts Extra.

Elsewhere this issue, Mr Bongo, Cymande, Annie Nightingale, '90s albums, Zal Yanovsky, and the mag goes into the record business. Snap it up from a newsagent shelf near you this very day or better yet, subscribe!
