Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.
Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE SPECIALS : Hyde Park August 2012
No doubt I'll have the bootleg in due course...New Order I can handle, but why oh why are the mighty Specials only on the support bill to those Brit pop wankers ???
got my tickets the other day via a presale link from BT.only thing though the only option ticketmaster give you to get the tickets is to print them yourself! but get this the bastards charge you £3.50 to print your own feckin tickets on top of the £6.50 admin charge.but i had to do it,i couldnt miss seeing the specials in london now could i?my only concern with the bill is that i hope the specials are on just before blur and not before new order.are you going?
I have it on good authority that The Specials are due on at 8pm and will play an hour long set. I agree with you, however, New Order are good but why the hell are a band with the calibre and longevity of The Specials supporting a 90's band like Blur?....someone has got this very wrong!!!
