We kidnapped the Guardian's Alex Petridis, locked him in a windowless room and kept him awake on crystal meth until he'd written a massive archive for us. Well, actually we didn't (it probably wouldn't have been all that anyway). No, much of the content in fact comes from two websites: Overload Media and Musicalbear. Both have now run their course, but we've compiled the best of their archives here, along with a stack of freshly Spannered stuff.

I contributed to the sites you mention but I don't want my work on Spannered.
Oh, that's a shame. The site isn't here to profit from your work or anyone else's, but if you really don't want your contribution in the archive, drop us a line about it — we don't bite!

Have some articles been edited since they last appeared online?
For readability's sake, yes, some items have been edited.

Items are missing from your archive.
The Spannered archive doesn't feature everything previously published on the Musicalbear and Overload Media sites — we've selected what we feel to be the prime cuts.

I would like to contribute.
Great. If you have an article, interview or other written content you would like to send us as an unsolicited contribution, or you're interested in writing for the site and would like to know more, please get in touch.

Can you pay me?
No, but we'll probably buy you a pint at some point.

I would like to send you something to be reviewed.
We'd love to hear your music. We will listen to it, and if we like it or find it interesting we'll endeavour to write about it, but please understand we can't cover everything we're sent. If you'd like to send us music, films, books, etc, please use the following address:
