I’m pretty sure there will one day be sociological studies based entirely upon 25mm button badges. Academics will pore over blown up photographs from zines to find out what was happening at the turn of the century.

We’ve caused a few raised eyebrows in the pub when people have asked us what we’re up to this year and one of the things we’ve said we are doing is “an evening of music, dance, and printing”. It does sound strange, but this clip from Matt Shlom might begin to explain things. We’ll tell

Recently we went to the Conway Hall book fair and witnessed our sister Press, the Shytstem, giving a full and frank description of themselves. They break all the rules of public speaking.

Rational Rec was at the South Bank last night. One of their finest ever performances; a truly mighty and insistent composition called Workers Union. And the best ever guitar piece by their axe-man – he played the strings directly with the jack and also used hair clippers on the pickups. A hilarious lady also gave us
