Beatdown Records.

If Anyone was a fan of the super great Steel Wheels record shop in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK then I suggest you check out Beatdown Records.
Bassically Steel Wheels had Changed it's name and has now moved to two new premises.
One in Ridley Place supplying drumn and bass and such (pah) the other, much superior store now located in Clarendon Basement, just across from Central Station.
They Stock a RIDICULOUS amount of Metal, Stoner Rock, Avant Garde, Doom, Noise, Folk, Black Metal,punk,indie post rock blah blah and massive amount of vinyl too much of it rare.

but whatever you do, watch out for them stairs!

Check them out at

Bands with swears.

So. My good freind Jamie started a blog cataloging bands who have swear words or offensive words in their names.
Head on over to
www.bandswithswears.wordpress.com to get all potty mouthed.
Should be good.

Fuck yeah.

We're Just a minor acedemy award winner.....

Sir Ben Kingsley.
Academy Award Winner.
Star of such great films as Ghandi.
Schindlers List.
Sexy Beast.

And now. Fronting Minor Threat?

Sir Ben Kinglsey Mackeye? Is this somekind of biographical movie starring Kingsley as everyones favourtie DIY enthusiast?
Or Maybe he just really likes Minor Threat.
Either way, see it. Believe it. Bizzare.

For Starters...music....zombies.

Sooooo, with the over saturation of networking sites ala myface and spacebook and the enjoyment gained from other people's, I have created a blog.

Not sure what to post. A bit of this. A bit of that. I guess just general ramblings.

Maybe someone will read it maybe not. Doesn't matter, I find the writing quite theraputic

None the less hopefully someone will enjoy.

For starters, a music theme.

This Week I have mostly been listening to:

Zombi: Surface to Air

The Flower Travellin' Band: Satori

Rose Kemp: Unholy Majesty

Pyramids: Self Titled

SkullFlower : the IIIrd Gatekeeper

Goblin: Various Soundtrack scores.

Thanks to James R and James L for the Zombi And FTB albums.

Sweet Deal.
