I’m Alan and I write stuff. Mainly for STARBURST magazine but I've always got some side hustle on the go. Oh, I make ‘zines, too. AND I present a weekly music show on NOISEBOX RADIO, Sunday 6-7pm.

Curious about where the music I play on my show comes from, I just did a few quick sums. LONDON, unsurprisingly, leads the way with 23 acts, but BRIGHTON comes in second with 9. Then there's NEW YORK with 7, GLASGOW & TORONTO with 5, and VANCOUVER, LOS ANGELES & CHICAGO with 4.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.
Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

Ben and I have decided we want to be the new Pat & Mick, so in order to make a dent in the increasing bills of excellent community radio station @noiseboxradio.com we've recorded a charity version of 'I Could Be So Good For You' in the style of Rikki & Daz.
The only single supporting "HARM A LONDON CHILD" on the market today.
