The weekly compendium 13/12/2013

The end of the year is almost here! I hope you've all been good and liked our facebook page to be in with a chance of winning some free CDs in time for Christmas? Or at the very least, cast your vote in our reader's choice poll?

If not, there is still time!

Our first free digital compilation is due new years day, but it is that time of year when lots of people are feeling generous, including Belgian electro label Alfa Matrix who have released their second 'Matrix Downloaded' compilation for free (or pay-what-you-want), via the label's Bandcamp page. Note that you can also get the first volume right here on Bandcamp, again for free (or pay-what-you-want).

That's all the plugging done for this week, here's what else we had...

We kicked things off with the monthly column from End: The DJ and his pick of the pops. We featured reviews of the latest albums from The Causticles, Beastmilk, Darkhaus, Starbass, Remete, and Petrol Hoers. As well as news from Combichrist and Tapewyrm.

On Facebook it has been a little sparse, so we've been keeping things festive by posting some great alternative Christmas tunes from the likes of Erasure, Unheilig, Human Drama, Billy Idol and Attrition.

That's it for this week. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday as we announce the winners of the CD prize draw. But in the mean time here's an uplifting story from William Burroughs.
