Punky reggae party

BTI. You’ve bookmarked this, right?

Underground literature

Paul Nomos on subterranean living/troglodisation.

K-Punk on Tom Vague. I did have a chuckle at Mark bigging up the contributions to Vague from Mark Downham. Easily the most inaccessible verbose stuff to appear in the ‘zine. Which I guess is a bit of a value judgement on my part but I much preferred the cartoons, rants, mad collages from people like God Told Me To Do It and so on. And of course the neoist/SMILE stuff which was probably quite difficult in places but just appealed to me a whole lot more.

Ribcage rattlers

Drumzofthesouth on idiots/haters and folk music (with bassbins).

Prancehall on his new mix “Anger is a gift”, which you should go and download right now. Lots of specials on there and some laffs as well.

Dan over at Dot Alt with a nice grime round up.
