Haven’t posted in a while, so thought may as well use this post to throw up my first mix for the site. Not gonna say much about it, its culled from old and new italo, a few edits and some other random bits n’ bobs from the early 80’s. Runs at just over an hour….

I’d buy that for a dollar…
So I’ve been a bit quiet of late, mainly because I’ve not had much work and consequently have been pretty poor, which has meant that I haven’t really bought any vinyl for a while. I’ve still been nosing round charity shops however, mostly coming away empty-handed, but today my luck changed… I was in one…
Bye bye CBS
Just a quicky for anyone not already aware, but the mighty Cybernetic Broadcasting System closed shop today. I-f’s announcement can be read here. It seems it just wasn’t viable for them to keep the station going, which is a sad example of how we can take sites like this for granted. But they don’t run…

Quick Friday Update
I’ve been lazy about doing basically anything for the past week, lazy enough that I almost feel bad about it. The doctor checked out my knee the other day, he said I likely have a slightly torn meniscus that shouldn’t need operated on unless it gives me great pain and irritation, which it hasn’t for…
The Madness Begins
We’re about to roll out of the Burgh on our way to Detroit in just a few minutes. Despite no love on the press pass tip, we will be providing our coverage of DEMF 08 to you starting tonight and continuing through late Monday night. I will try to provide a substantial post every day,…
BOO!!
First up, a quick hello. It’s a pleasure to be contributing to ISM, I’ve been reading here since it’s inception, have had tons of good record tips, and enjoyed the no-nonsense style of the blog. Plus, the artists and range of styles covered are right up my street. I’m a vinyl junkie too, so should…
