I remember you, when you loved freedom too.

As of late, it seems to me that punk rock reunions are becoming less embarrassing and more worthwhile and fun to see. Do you think seeing a band like Lifetime(who are on the reunion parade) can compare to the mess that it is to see the Exploited or GBH pogo on stage with grey [...]

Jason Lombard has done a lot of great photography for Relative Theory. You have probably seen his pictures of shows on this site and you may remember his “Stories to Tell” exhibit in the gallery here, which featured photography of endangered buildings in Norfolk.

Chromeo’s “She’s In Control” was a pleasure when it came out a few years ago, a slice of relectropop that evoked fond memories of classics such as Zapp and “Dirty Mind” era Prince. The only lingering discomfort was uncertainty as to whether they were genuinely having fun, like, say, Hot Chip, or snarkily making [...]
