Northfield, Birmingham, May 26th
I think I’m entering a Black and White Period.

In music news, the new Mogwai album Mr Beast is a lot of fun. I’m particularly enjoying the pounding second track “Glasgow Mega-Snake”. It comes (or at least Zoop’s copy came) with a DVD showing them recording it in their house, a lo-fi approach I approve of. It’s also quite short at 43 minutes, which was a mild disappointment at first but actually works rather well. Recommended.
Live-wise, I’ve been taking a break from the local scene of late but Capsule have some interesting forthcomings. Big news is Psychic TV on October 6th. I never thought I’d get to see Genesis P Orridge and now I may well do so. Also the lineup has been confirmed (for a while now) for Supersonic Festival – must pick up my ticket this weekend – and the Capsule girls are running a new night at the Bulls Head in Moseley: Larry’s Lonely Knights Club is on Thursday 1st June and promises to be “more a get together” than a club night. Entry is £2 or “free with cake.” Una Corda are guest-DJing the first one, which should be… interesting!
