Important note: Spannered is essentially an archive added to and maintained in our free time. We love to hear your music — we listen to everything we're sent and occasionally stuff gets covered on the site (same goes for books, films, etc.). However, if you're desperately seeking reviews, you might be better off approaching one of the great many sites and blogs out there that turn around music reviews with dedicated regularity. We don't have a lot of time to scribe reviews ourselves, and we're getting rather tired of passing on music to contributors who never get back to us. Just so you know.
Important note to PRs
At the risk of sounding less friendly than we really are: PRs, by all means send us stuff, but please bear in mind that this doesn't give you the right to constantly annoy us with inane emails pretending to be our friends and pushing some load of bollocks that's irrelevant to the site. Before you do send us anything, take a look at the type of stuff we cover. PR emails will be marked as spam unless they are sent to our email address. Thanks! :)

Ohhhhh my gaaawd!!! Spanners on the web...??!!I love spanners - or sturtumps - as I call them. I was 'Spannered' as a young girl of seven, when I took a shine to my dad's two-tone Ford Anglia, and decided to help him on the maintence side of things...then I discovered these wondeful shapes and sizes of a whole array of spanners in the toolbox!!! I never looked back! Soon, they were hanging on the Xmas tree, and being pushed around in a dolls pram by me...the neighbours thought I was bloody nuts!! Fred like the fact his lady loved spanners, until I nicked about 100 imperial sized beauties for our wedding...then I wasn't allowed near the remaining few he had. Good old spanners...!!! GREAT STUFF!!!

A book of photographs by Pogus Caesar celebrating Britain's iconic black musicians is to be published next month.
The book Muzik Kinda Sweet features evocative, nostalgic and largely unpublished images of musical legends like Stevie Wonder, Grace Jones and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry.
Most of Caesar’s photography is based around his home city of Birmingham, documenting a spectrum of well-known personalities and recording significant events including the Handsworth riots, Birmingham tornado and the regeneration of the Bullring.
“These images record a unique period in what would come to be called black British life,” remarks author and historian Paul Gilroy.
“Pogus Caesar’s emphatically analog art is rough and full of insight. He conveys the transition between generations, mentalities and economies.”
Legendary reggae artists figures prominently, and appropriately, in the Caesar image canon - Burning Spear, The Wailers, Augustus Pablo, Rita Marley, Mighty Diamonds, Black Uhuru, Sly Dunbar, Steel Pulse etc. The photographer cites reggae itself is a significant influence, reflecting his own St Kitts background in the Eastern Caribbean.
The launch of Muzik Kinda Sweet follows an exhibition of the work at the Oom Gallery in Birmingham earlier this year.
