The owner of Vinyl-On-Demand records is, of course, FRANK MAIER and not FRANK DOMMERT as printed. Frank Maier writes: “Frank Dommert runs Entenphuhl-label in Cologne and is part of Georg Odijk’s A-Musik Shop but he has nothing to do with me”. This mistake occurs in the Philip Sanderson interview and in the Vinyl Viands...
Quite a harmonic roaring blaster is Das Zerstoren, Zum Gebaren (BN028CD) from The New Blockaders, a single 49-minute wodge of broodingly evil metallic thunder recorded at All Tomorrow’s Parties in 2006, an event at which I did not assist, but was apparently curated by Thurston Moore. With a slightly longer credit list and thank-you...

On Friday night (30 November 2007), I saw Charlemagne Palestine‘s performance at the LMC Festival of Experimental Music. The Cochrane Theatre somehow seems a most fitting venue for the music – small and intimate. This probably worked in favour of the quieter more minimal acts; in fact Clive Graham and myself were refused entry...
We received a large bundle of goodies from the ABSURD RECORDS label in Greece, run by the very devoted Nicolas Malevitsis. This arrived around late August…some of the packaging on offer here is extremely imaginative. Tasos Stamou‘s Infant CDR (EDITIONS_ZERO#15) arrives housed in an uncompleted needlepoint sampler replete with images of a happy clown...
