People - Thomas Truax - Songs From The Films Of David Lynch (Available Now) By Michelle Dee
'What does this song need to come alive?' New York anti-folk hero, Thomas Truax has oft had his music described as that of befitting a David Lynch film. The surreal settings, the darkly twisted stories, the cult appeal lend themselves well to his compositions - the innovator, the rebel, the outsider. The epiphany moment came when Truax's Read more...

People - Scroobius Pip Speaks On Spoken Word, Socks, Caps and Collaborations At Hull Uni By Michelle Dee
I arrive at Hull Uni armed with information gathered after an afternoon's research fest on the bearded one; an unlikely counter culture hero, who takes his moniker from one of the pioneers of nonsense poetry Edward Lear, or rather The Scroobious Pip, a poem that remained unfinished at the time of Edward's death in 1888. I am due to interview him before he headlines alongside beats master and DJ Dan Le Sac.
