The Velcros
Tommy Flynns plays host to a lively if sparse crowd tonight, Death shirts mixing with high heels – not on the same punter unfortunately – as Camden gears up for a mix bag of punk.
Newsgush: The Ultimate Album Cover?
3 CommentsAugust 21, 2009 – 1:02 pm
Album artwork has become less and less relevant as people consume their music in different ways. However American mashup / electronica / live remix guru Moldover has created what could be the greatest album cover ever.
Because not only does it look like a cool circuit board with the name of the artist and tracks spelt out in circuitry – but the cover itself is a working theremin that you can play! Buy one yourself here!

Downtuned returns from the UK’s only proper, longhaired, denim and leather outdoor metal festival with a T Shirt suntan, a beer belly and guts clogged with food served out of caravans.
We saw some music too!

Fig 1: Who Would You Rather Go To A Party With?
Some Bands are better than others.
“Fairly self-evident!” I hear you scoff.
But it’s not.
Why are they better? Probably because you say so, and you have better taste than everyone else right? Or at least, better taste than the legions of JLS fans who’d buy a broomstick if you stuck a waistcoat on it and put it on the X-Factor. Well, sorry mate, but you don’t know diddly. You can stick your photographically memorised Morrisey lyrics. You can throw those Stone Roses CDs you’ve hoarded out the window.
Want to know why? Because they’re rubbish. Ian Brown is a nob. Pink Floyd are boring old gets. Serious musicians are rubbish!
And I can prove it.
