Benefits of small venues
Three bands for a fiver? That would always be an attractive deal. And when Benefits provides the headline act, it’s too good to miss. This is why small venues are worth fighting for, and also why they need our encouragement.

Playlist: Remembrance of Times Past
Field Music – Six Weeks, Nine Wells During the summer I spent an afternoon with my daughter exploring the Sunderland streets where I grew at. By the end, having played in my old park, peered through the fence at my first school and noted the disappearance of my old nursery, we were ready for ice cream. So we popped to the corner shop, just like I did when I got my pocket money, bought some choc ices and sat on the bench outside to eat them. It felt like 40 years rolled away.

The Emotional Power of Death in Music: How Songs Help Us Face Mortality
Music has always been an art form that touches the deepest parts of the human psyche, allowing individuals to explore a vast range of emotions. One of the most profound ways that music affects us is by addressing the concepts of mortality, death, and the fragile nature of life. Over the centuries, artists across genres have used death as a thematic focus in their music, crafting what can be called the "death track"—songs or compositions that tap into the collective consciousness surrounding death and loss. This "death track" in music serves as a bridge between the listener's emotions and the universal human experience of confronting mortality.

I think one of the hardest things to go through is the loss of friendship with someone. Friendship breakups suck. Plain and simple. I take relationships seriously. Whether it's family, friend, lover, coworker. You give me respect I give you respect.

Playlist: punk nostalgia, twisted psychedelia
Rubber Oh – The Well Rubber Oh, which has a new album out on Friday, is a side project from Pigsx7 guitarist and producer Sam Grant. But while the ‘day job’ involves some hard-hitting shredding, this is a different beast. The scope is cinematic at times; bits of The Well could soundtrack a twisted take on some kind of medieval epic, while another preview track, Bloodlust, uses strings and chorus to set up a post-psychedelic sound world that takes the Summer of Love and gives it a kick up the backside.

Introduction These days Roger Waters, ex-bass player with Pink Floyd is a curmudgeonly annoying person, although responsible for some excellent music. He also once had a mischievous sense of humour as demonstrated by "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" from his solo section on "Ummagumma".
