Yes I've talked about it for years, it's the first ever Radio Clash Live DJ night!

Some of you might know I'm doing a night (well 2, but that's for another story) in London at the end of October.

Radio Clash presents Hectic Eclectic
Wednesday 25th October from 9pm
Arts Theatre Club, Frith Street, Soho London
Free (guestlist only)

DJs:

Cartel Communique - legends of the bootlegging scene, one of the best DJs in London and the warped minds behind 'Gimme Ragga Joanna'
Jeb aka £50 Note (here some of his mixes here)
your humble host Instamatic / DJNoNo + guests

Gonna be fun - contact me for guestlist, it's a small venue so apply early to avoid disappointment!

Details, location etc. of the venue can be found at their website

Kirk wanted me to write an eulogy to Marvellous - probably the best Sunday club to grace London, which finished a few weeks ago after running for 10 years. I was sadly in Scotland but Kirk was there to big up the Radio Clash massif, and got some shots with Joan Dairy Queen, the hostest with the whitest (face? or was it milk? LOL).

It used to be in Substation South in Brixton, and that was where DJs such as DJ Lush and Johnny Slut (of Nag Nag Nag fame) let their hair down, no attitude, no dress code, just good music...I tended not to go in recent years because of work, but on bank holidays we usually went - sadly we didn't feel like clubbing this August Bank Holiday and missed the last big Marvellous together, and it stopping was a total surprise. Certainly CRASH wasn't as good a venue, but the music was there, and both me and Kirk fondly remember pogoing to the likes of Pulp and Kaiser Chiefs, even dancing next to Boy George (fatter in real life!)

According to Kirk even Jake Shears turned up later on at the last one....a fitting end (sadly he didn't go and offer his poppers to Jake Shears, being too drunk...and no Babydaddy, natch).

So Joan and co. we'll miss you - you were simply marvellous.

Wrecked boat, Ullapool 

Part one of my trip to Scottyland - London to Inverness then Ullapool, where I have a stupid shunt, find a rhueful lighthouse, listen to the rain and realise bagpipes are just 18th century drone rock.

More photos up shortly...

This is the show about the decade that taste forgot - yes the 1980s, which for some unfathomable reason is popular amongst the yoot. I just remember the telly and most films being shit and wanting MTV (oh child of little knowledge) and waiting and hoping for Stock Aitken and Waterman to die in some bizarre mixing accident...

About to fuck off to Scottyland (going to go and hassle the occupants of various small islands, Wickerman style - and YES I'll be podcasting from the highlands) but I FINALLY got the 1980's show done....gah! Got some great mixes in it, but I think I'm going to do more music-chat-music shows and less theme/mix shows in future...

That taste is really shit: http://www.mutantpop.net/go.php?url=169
