Here’s a sneak preview of a new T’shirt we’ve designed and released in tribute to our fellow space travellers, Zombie Zombie and their re-score of Battleship Potemkin. A limited number are available to buy now at the shows (anyone at the London BFI show on Friday would of had the first chance to buy one). Available in either white or grey – they will hit our shop soon…

For those of us eagerly awaiting some new releases from DC Recordings (late summer we’re told!), All Time Low have stepped up to fill the gap in our lives. They have some tasty stuff going on at the moment, including the Zombie Zomie event we’re working on and a couple of EPs by our pals The Oscillation and Higamos Hogamos. Looks like they have much more to come too – Keep an eye on them…

Sleeve design has been in the news quite a bit recently, what with the new set of stamps from Royal Mail and the AV awards. So, I thought it was a good excuse to have a look back at some proper record sleeves – The incredible art of Sun Ra.

This weekend I’ve been in Paris to see our pals Zombie Zombie play a live score to Battleship Potemkin at the very nice amphitheater in Cité de la Musique. Great show, and an interesting audience – 50% Parisian hipsters X 50% Parisian OAPs? – but somehow it all came together and judging by the triple standing ovation at the end most people seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I’m hoping for more shows like this next year please.

The mighty Emperor Machine has very kindly released the first album he recorded under the pseudonym Sir Drew as a free download. Feet First was originally released on Kingsize Records in 2002, but you can now get it for free from the EM Myspace page here.
