IIRC it later dropped down to magazine size and concentrated on dance music (in the main). I remember their obsession with BPM. Confusing at the time but obviously of use to DJs.
That Shakatak review is bizarre, but based on the number of errors in the Postcard reviews, it's clear the Live Editor hadn't noticed the final paragraph was either missing or hadn't been written. Weird stuff for a national paper.
Our UK tour starts TODAY!

Smith must have said "You could take someone's eye out with that, cock. Make the edges round".
I'm going to assume The Times is asking why they aren't using their 3D printers to help the war effort by printing oil and guns instead.
That bio is hilarious/a total lie. "...traded five rabbit skins for a guitar..."
Rare(?) example of a round-edged CD case there.
Lick it?
Went there with FC the day after Fallas had finished and the smell of smoke and fireworks in the air was stunning, streets being hosed down, still-smouldering effigies. He needs to sack his tour manager, but the huge drop in room prices at that point was probably a factor.
Clearly never experienced the camp site disco at Indietracks. #indiepopISnoisepollution
'Lest We Forget' decal covering the back window of the charabanc.
The outer sleeve for my long-owned copy of that is also heavily foxed. Going to give it a spin.
I think he follows the drumbeat on that line and the bassline on the others? But you are correct, it subtly speeds up to make the line fit. There's probably a technical term for it. Or it's witchcraft...
Peter Bagge has a lot to answer for.
Pitch an unnecessary sequel.
The Man Who Arranged The Funeral of Liberty Valance.
1982?
No. Two legs.
Believe it or not, there is a marked-out helicopter landing site in Heaton Park. I think it's been there since the Commonwealth Games, so is a bit 'pre-loved'.
God bless. ;-)
Dashed off in a single weekend would obviously align it with the original source material.
Coming up this Saturday. Free Music and Poetry for Free Heads. In the SMRE bar before the game. Pay through the turnstiles, turn right and you'll find us at the end of the stand. @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social
The bird shit stains on the sign really make me want to go there. I can smell it from here.

Middle lad's been made redundant.
Grafter.
Anyone know of owt in the Greater Manchester area ???
Worked in a Warehouse for 2 years.
Done Bar work and behind the scenes at Festivals...
Got an engineering degree but always comes 2nd in interviews...
Just watched Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me for the first time since I saw it at the pictures when it came out. I didn't cry this time, but it's such a difficult watch. Horrible.
There was a second, Cardiffians, but the production is a bit lumpy on that.
The Devine and Stratton LP, The Prince of Wales, is as good as anything she did. Includes a cracking cover of Bizarre Love Triangle.
The people's poet.
I recorded a few bits and pieces for that show in 1985. Mainly gig guides, but did interview Stephen Pastel and David Keegan. I was incredibly nervous, but they put me at ease, bless them. Sadly lost the original reel to reel recording.
You'll have really hit your stride by the time you mount the stage at The Peer Hat. Expecting fireworks. π
@mtmiseryband.bsky.social and @heyhumdrum.bsky.social were great tonight in Levenshulme. Strongly suggest you give Juice Pops an ear-wigging as well.
