Shindig! No.130

This week is Shindig! week, and once you've enjoyed the burning head-braziers and Wombles within, you'll find my little Vinyl Art column, this month going all Majorcan in time for the holidays. Subscribe!

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!

Shindig! No.128

Cast your vote of confidence in the transformative power of rock and roll and pick up Shindig! Magazine No.128, this month featuring a bunch of cool stuff including The Staple Singers, Al Stewart, and a little bit of me chatting to Crispian Mills about that new Kula Shaker disc. Orderrrrr!

Shindig! No.127

 All manner of great stuff in your new Shindig! Magazine out this week, including Johnny Harris, Dave Davies, a fantastic 20Qs with Jimmy Webb, and a tiny bit of me and Mr Henry in Vinyl Art. The new paper smells nice too.

Shindig! No.126

For this month's Shindig! Magazine, out in shops today, I was lucky enough to talk to Melody Prochet about her brilliant new LP Emotional Eternal - which I've hardly stopped spinning since. No.126 is yet another great issue from the team, with a United States of America-themed Deep Cuts, an extract from a great new book on yé-yé, a nice long piece on Brian Auger's Oblivion Express years, and that cover feature, a deep dive into the legendary Harvest. Plus I also got into some wearable fashion for my Vinyl Art column. If you were a subscriber you'd be reading it already.

Spring 2022

New mix. Enjoy and share. Try not to thump each other.
