Southern Records hosting a venue for Camden Crawl Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:23:23 +0000
Southern Records is very pleased to be invited to host a venue at this year's Camden Crawl. If you don't know the Crawl, it's an "urban festival" in London, spanning two days, 40 venues, and 200 bands, with a focus on new, cutting-edge music. And they have some "heritage acts" too (that means folks who [...]
Web shop : Peterbilt CDs unearthed! Fri, 08 Jan 2010 13:48:23 +0000
In the process of closing our warehouse and moving the shop late last year, we dug up some boxes of stuff that we'll gradually be adding to the shop. Our first box is a real find - copies of two now out-of-print CDs issued in 2007 on Guy Piccotto's Peterbilt label. Back in 1990, Peterbilt issued [...]
Vic Chesnutt 1964 ? 2009 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:18:28 +0000
Our Christmas day was darkened by the passing of Mr. Vic Chesnutt, a very special person who brought much light into the world with his creative energy and unique and beautiful perspective on life. We were privileged to work with him for a few short years and we know the world is a less wonderful [...]

Tartufi scores the #1 Overlooked Album Of The Year accolade Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:16:40 +0000
Okay so that's us being a bit cheeky. Actually the good folk at Drowned In Sound call it the "Lost 9 of 09" and they've awarded the number one spot to our dear, lovely Tartufi for their epic Nests Of Waves And Wire album. Tartufi are just about the best thing to happen to [...]
New Southern Records holding page up Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:57:15 +0000
Most of our long-time friends will be hard-pressed to remember the last time anything significant changed on our website. I'd like to be able to say that because our site is so perfect, no changes have been necessary in the last ten years, but that just isn't the case. There's a grain of truth in [...]

Mmmelvins Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:02:29 +0000
This morning I'm suffering from an aching neck, blurry vision and a fuzzy head. Was I in a car accident? Nope. I went to see the Melvins last night. Unfortunately got there a bit late, having been tangled in the web of West London, fenced in by traffic and general western chaos until well after [...]
