The Road to Nowhere: Romania November 2007
http://thecoachtonowhere.blogspot.com/2007/11/romania-november-2007.html
The Road to Nowhere. I like travel but I'm also a dedicated thrift nerd and love a bargain! I go to places like Nottingham by coach for £1, so you don't have to. Strange how potent cheap travel is. Tuesday, 6 November 2007. Always liked the Jim Bowen joke; ‘I’m not scared of flying, I’m just scared of crashing’. But I'm not sure fear's the reason I left it so long before I flew. It's more that when I was at an age to start travelling flying was more of a big deal, a rarity. In the week leading up to the ...

Try This At Home: November 2008
http://madebypeople.blogspot.com/2008/07/november-2008.html
Try This At Home. Wednesday, 5 November 2008. Scratch That Itch # 2. This crew specialize in apparently improvised guitar music but don’t let that put you off. I’d run a mile at the mere threat of jazz, but I could listen to this until the cows come home. What you get is a track for each of the senses, ranging from the Rip Rig and Panic style skronk. I was just on the point of thinking, fuck it I’ll skip the art bit this month, because I hadn. This podcast’s the perfect length and content for my ha...

Try This At Home: May 2008

Try This At Home. Monday, 5 May 2008. You Don't Get There From Here. #6. Or PO Box 49403, Los Angeles CA 90049. Fight Boredom. #1. As a general rule of thumb I like quite basic music, with lyrics that are either clever, funny, or at least intriguing. This track definitely fits the bill. Al's a one-man band purveying a sort of grumpy rockabilly - grumpabilly! I've never had an excuse to use the word mordant before, but that's what this is. So what about the album? A casual glance at the CD sleeve tells yo...

Try This At Home: April 2008
http://madebypeople.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Try This At Home. Monday, 7 April 2008. I'm not one for lists of favourites but this is probably the zine I buy most often, and like best. As with previous issues it features great cartoons of the adventures of its creator Isy. A mix of travel tales, activism and catering. Lately I've been (very slowly) teaching myself to draw. The drawings in Morgenmuffel. I've never been a total convert to perzines. A lot give the impression that if you took the author down the pub the evening'd. This isn't the sort of...

Try This At Home. Monday, 1 December 2008. If you want an informed view of comics you're talking to the wrong bloke, but I enjoyed this anthology comic. All the strips are connected by the linking device of a chain of everyday objects. There are several standouts. I liked Sam Chivers. Tale of an errant cabaret performer bearing a striking resemblance. Or Armchair Comics, 8 Brewer Street, Brighton BN2 3HH. Music Downloads, MP3s. Space Nut to Ape Length. Wind and the Longing Road. 3 million weeks of leaving.

Try This At Home: August 2008

Try This At Home. Monday, 4 August 2008. Last Hours # 17. There’s a week’s worth of reading here. The theme of the issue is radical illustration but tons of other stuff’s covered besides. Of the themed content, there’s lots to interest even if, like me, you don’t know much about art and aren. Inevitably I gravitated to the DIY. Guides section which has got a great basic how-to on zine-making from Kathleen of Scratch That Itch. There’s also handy pointers on food preserving from Isy. Sound if she'd listen...

Try This At Home: June 2008

Try This At Home. Wednesday, 4 June 2008. Sugar Paper; 20 things to make and do. Exploring the lighter side of failure, this lot are quite blokish and skiffly. Nobody would claim they're pushing the envelope musically, but they're much cleverer than they're letting on. Most London bands with wry observational lyrics tend to get lumped in with Squeeze and Madness, but Blah, Blah, Blah are less music hall and more Play For Today. Or at least Eastenders. Good stuff. AFUK and I (vol 1) Up the Anti! Erasing C...
