Do you remember buying your first single? Where you bought it? What it was? The thrill of playing it for the first time? What it sounded like? How it maybe changed your life? Lots of us do. Lots of us still have that single somewhere in a dusty box in the attic, along with other treasured memorabilia of an adolescence lost in music and romance. The attic of our youth.
The Joy of the Single is a documentary packed with startling memories, vivid images and penetrating insights into the power of pop and rock's first and most abiding artefact - the seven inch, vinyl 45 rpm record; a small, perfectly formed object that seems to miraculously contain the hopes, fears, sounds and experiences of our different generations - all within the spiralling groove etched on its shiny black surface, labelled and gift-wrapped by an industry also in its thrall.
In the confident hands of a star-studded cast, the film spins a tale of obsession, addiction, dedication and desire. The viewer is invited on a journey of celebration from the 1950s rock n roll generation to the download kids of today, taking in classic singles from all manner of artists in each decade - from the smell of vinyl to the delights of the record label; from the importance of the record shop to the bittersweet brevity of the song itself; from stacking singles on a Dansette spindle to dropping the needle and thrilling to the intro.
Featuring contributions from Noddy Holder, Jack White, Richard Hawley, Suzi Quatro, Holly Johnson, Jimmy Webb, Pete Waterman, Norah Jones, Mike Batt, Graham Gouldman, Miranda Sawyer, Norman Cook, Trevor Horn, Neil Sedaka, Paul Morley, Rob Davies, Lavinia Greenlaw, Brian Wilson and Mike Love. (R)

Mixing the melodic and lyrical sensibilities of Dillinger Four with the all out bandana-thrash of What Happens Next?
Action Image Exchange (named after a Vic and Bob sketch) is the debut album from Leeds based Fig. 4.0. With 17 tracks in 20 minutes, this is pure, angry, socially aware hardcore punk the way it should be. Take the all-out bandana-thrash attack of What Happens Next? and infuse it with the left-field punk rock melody of Dillinger Four and you won't be far off. This is already a UK hardcore classic!Dropnose - Punk Rock Rendez-Vousmikesea2012-06-16 | Dropnose - Punk Rock Rendez-Vous Tracks taken from the split EP with Astream Plus two tracks from the recording session that were not used, 'Not The Same' and 'Killer At The Door'.

Iz, Heysi and Sellick formed Dropnose in the summer of '97 in the sunny Northern England city of Sunderland. Taking influences from the likes of Satanic Surfers, Ten Foot Pole etc., Dropnose managed to take the energy of the typical "skate punk" sound and fuse it with something a little darker (both musically and lyrically) to create something all their own.
Unfortunately, Dropnose parted ways in 2000 and went on to form several new bands. After Dropnose, Iz took part in The Autumn Year, The Mercy Suite and is currently playing drums/vocals in Beasts. Heysi played bass in The Sex Maniacs and went on to make up two thirds of The Mercy Suite (with Iz and ex-Astream gutairist Bobby). Sel has been involved with Drag Cars Drive Too Fast and is presently perfoming with Granades.Dropnosemikesea2012-06-15 | Dropnose - Self Titled Mini Album - 2001 Bombed Out Records

Hailing from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Dugong honed their own unique brand of indie-rock/emo/punk as an integral part of the local underground music scene for a good 8 years.
In early 2003 the Dugong recorded Hat Danko, their second album. Mark at Soundstation did a truly wonderful job capturing the sound the band wanted and everyone felt dead pleased.
Dugong played their last gig headlining the Sunday of the 2005 Out of Spite festival at Joseph's Well in Leeds, with a show that ranked amongst the band's finest.
Dugong went indefinate haitus on 14th August 2005... :(Nirvana - Green Street Station, Jamaica Plain, MA - 15/07/1989 Full Showmikesea2012-05-25 | Kurt smahed his guitar at the previous concert and had no replacement.

Philip BiggsNirvana - Unreleased Song (Ivy League?) - Rare Set Finishermikesea2012-03-16 | A song which Nirvana ended their set with on 29/12/1993 at San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, CA, US.
Soundboard Recording.
After some research, I have found that this song might be called 'Ivy League'.
Nirvana have only played this song live twice - the other time was 12/11/1993 - George Wallace Civic Center, Fitchburg, MA, US.
A 'jam' form of this song was actaully recorded on January 28--30, 1994 - Robert Lang Studios, North Seattle, WA, US . Portions of the 'jam' appear on the DVD from the 'With the Lights Out' boxset. They are found on Menu 2 at 01:42 and Menu 4 at 00:51.
It may have been destined to be the 'Hidden Track' of the 4th album, like 'Gallons...' and 'Endless, Nameless' before it?FF VIII Ballroom Scene - No music, just the footsteps and squeeksmikesea2007-04-05 | Bit of a boogie for the protagonists of FFVIII.Yunas Dream FFX-2mikesea2007-01-15 | Yuna seems to meet that fella what looks like Tidus, in FFX-2.Another World - Final Fantasy X Intromikesea2007-01-15 | Yep, The Intro to FFXLady Yuna - The Sendingmikesea2007-01-15 | Yuna sends the souls of the departed in Kilika.FFX-2 Mount Gagazet Extra Scenemikesea2006-06-07 | The girls get bikini-fied at mount gagazet summit.
