Welcome to the beginning of a website.
I don't know what this will end up being, but for now there's a blog and a weekly-updated list of gigs happening in London.

I named the website after the EP Howl or Buzz Under The Influence of Heat by the Minutemen, honestly because I was looking through what I'd listened to recently, and thought that it made for a cool name. But, if I was lying, I'd say that it's because I want this website to be like a punk zine, something made out of love and obsession for music, people and places – held together with all the html knowledge I've scraped together in the last few weeks.
I hope that this site can be your life.

This week I'm obsessed with this recording of Silver Jews' performance at Green Man 2006. David Berman is such a warm and funny presence in this show (a rare live performance for the band). I came across it via a reference on Jokermen podcast, they were talking about the album 'Tanglewood Numbers' and specifically an extra verse for 'Animal Shapes', which surfaces briefly in this performance.
