If there is one thing you don't expect from a Luke Haines gig, it's jokes. Last night's sold out gig at The Luminaire in Kilburn found old misery-guts in an unexpectedly jovial mood playing songs from his splendidly caustic new album '21st Century Man'. The title track - a six-minute catalogue of 70s and 80s news and pop culture references - is bonkers on paper, but Haines' live acoustic rendition...

As you probably are aware, there is a new kid in town here at KEXP — and by “kid” I mean “radio show” and by “in town” I mean “airing on Saturday night.” It is called Seek & Destroy (which seems kind of an aggressive name to me, but hey, it takes all kinds), [...]

It was always summer. The large brown tv with curved screen had the cricket on – Dennis Lillee and Colin Cowdrey sweltering at the Oval. The blue budgie cheaped in its cage on a stand above us all. Granddad Bob sat in his armchair facing the TV in trousers, white shirt and braces, his string vest showing through. He always had this slightly stale smell about him – fags and a little sweat....

I was loaded up to the hilt with empty paint cans en-route to Coalville Tip on Sunday only to be turned away as they don't have the facilities to accept them. My only alternative was a trek to Whetstone Tip which was a bit of a chore but allowed me to listen to the classic live Banshees album 'Nocturne' in the car. The classic line up of Sioux, Severin, Budgie and Smith from the Royal Albert Hall no...

As I write this, I have a small green bird on my shoulder, a beautiful budgie (who looks like a little fluffy cloud) in a cage next to me, and a Meyers Parrot sitting on top of his cage grinding his beak. Our two "big guys" are in the kitchen, covered, and sleeping. That's five birds. There are five birds in my house. How did this happen ? How did I end up with a house full of birds ? How...
