"The bourne from which no traveller returns..."


It's the end of an era: the last ever Mixing It. This was the show that first introduced me to experimental music, and has acted like a Peel Show for unfettered experimentalism for the past 16 years. Listen to the last show, before it disappears on Friday. Let's hope the BBC have something to replace it, or else there's going to be some killings.

But don't worry: the future is now. Go to These New Puritans' website: the 'Now Pluvial EP', one of the most important musical artifacts of the 21st century so far is free to download; and there's the new track 'Navigate', on the Dior Homme website. I know, I know, it's for fashion, but bear with me here: it's excellent.
