So just poking a zombie hand up from beneath the green grass of the fanzine graveyard as Jukebox Headaches (can’t link to the FB page, sorry) were nice enough to send me a copy of their then-new album a while back due to being unaware that Nite Songs isn’t a thing anymore. Due to the general chaos that is my life at the moment, it’s only tonight that I’ve finally got round to listening to it. And I’m more than happy to recommend it - some great wonky pop music which dips its toes into whatever musical pool it feels like at the time and is all the better for it. You should probably give it a listen yourself. In fact, here, have a Bandcamp link, go get yourself a copy and help support two of the genuine good guys in the 2024 music scene. Message over.

12 track album

A quick post from beyond the fanzine grave - your friendly ex-ed recently contributed to this rather awesome ‘zine put together by HIS ex-ed which features me looking back at what was floating my musical boat in the early 2010’s. The idea was to try and work my way through the whole decade but in the end, due to me rambling on as per usual, it came out at just the first three years of it! Who knows, there may be a follow-up somewhere if enough people like it! Also featuring people who used to edit some other awesome ‘zines back in the day including Trashpit, Cheesecore, Golf Sale…and Bubblegum Slut obviously! Feel free to order your copy below. 🙂

I've opened a Ko-fi shop. Come take a look!
