I'm no good at Science - I failed it miserably at school - I was more into Science Fiction dreaming off into space about Light-sabres and aliens from another world. So what is a Macroscope? Is it some form of microscope that helps you see vast regions of space and brings them into vision? Maybe, … Continue reading New Band/New Music – Macroscope
Another new band on the horizon - I've always been a sucker for that New York Cool, the Punk Sound, CBGB's, Old Skool Hip Hop, The Beasties I could go on.

So it's clear these rapskallions are my favourite new band at the minute and I've been looking forward to their album ever since I first heard them in the Spring.
