Legendary London club The End has announced it will be closing in January 2009, after an epic 13 years in action.
Founded in 1995 and run for the duration by sibling duo Layo & Zoe Paskin, the club was based entirely around music - no hype, no marketing - just passionate DJs playing great music, week in week out.
The list of guests and resident DJs reads like a who's who of th...Read more

It's a long read but then, like anything worthwhile in life ... well, just make the effort :)
Not the greatest of videos on YouTube but I challenge anyone to find any band with better visuals & lighting than these guys, right now. Mind blowing.

Uploaded the recording from Saturday's gig to the Yumla web site, chopped off the encore and a few muck around tracks at the start; otherwise it's all there - mistakes, missed cues, bad mixes, computer glitches, warts an' all. The recording gets a bit fuzzy in places ... got a bit carried away with too much bass ... the PA system handles it, the recording software didn't ... oops ... bottles were walking themselves off the top shelf ... staff not amused ... dodging 12 year old single malts from above.

Finally! I'm a bit slow on finding out this information, but apparently - according to Amazon at least - it's true. One of my favorite "unfinished" films (i.e: great elements, crap / commercial edit) has been given the opportunity to really shine. Can't wait to see it.
