Ex-Radio Head: No Longer A Music Writer/Always A Music Writer

I’m always looking for music to write about. Which is not my ‘job’. But it is my ‘role’. Something I selected for myself a long time ago, long before I was ever published or paid. Music started speaking to me on the level where I felt I had to speak back to it – and […]

Broadcast: Berberian Sound Studio

Broadcast Berberian Sound Studio (Original Soundtrack) Warp It would not have been planned as a swansong, but Broadcast’s first foray into full-length film soundtracks is, in a strange, beguiling, sad and somehow perfect way the ultimate end/end-piece for this band.
