Pals, its the worst-kept secret in the world… The new incarnation of TIOB is a record label. It will exist to help document and amplify DIY music in Scotland. TIOB01 will be the 4th LP from your friends and mine, Kaddish. More details - release date, pre-order, and the like - to follow soon. Ta.

The 13th Note Cafe from across the street. It looks manky and it's increasingly covered in posters and general clattiness.

The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that new TIOB has a slightly different logo. Originally designed by Sean Leahy back in 2006 (!), it has been refreshed for TIOB 2.0 by DIY punk rock stalwart and player in many good bands, Gone Wishing. Thanks, GW! www.gone-wishing.com

The TIOB logo, white on a pink background. Inside a circle it says 'THIS IS OUR BATTLEFIELD' at the top and 'GLASGOW DIY' at the bottom. Inside another circle there's a stylised image of the Duke of Wellington.
