There is no full line-up for this year’s Croydon World Party yet, but the headliners on July 12th have been announced as the Stereo MCs. On the following day there is a mela. Not so far to go for anyone who is going to miss the Crawley Mela this year.

Watching Primeval yesterday I thought I recognised the music on the soundtrack when they were in the server room.  It sounded like an obscure Spizzenergi track called Mega City 3, but it couldn’t be could it? Oh yes it could!

I got a slightly miffed e-mail from Spizz today. He tried to leave a comment here but it kept being rejected as spam. I'm guessing it was because of all the links in it – anything with more than 2 links is assumed to be spam. Rather than turning off security for a while I […]
