    BAck again - 3 delicious Guinnesses and a dark rum and coke that tasted like TCP. Quiet tonight, some bloke puffed his gut out and posed it next to his mate's beergut and yelled at his wife "Does it look like we eat vegetables??" Jukebox played Bonkers and Like A G6 30 mins ago. An actual...

    73: CRASS – “FEEDING OF THE FIVE THOUSAND” 12” The rich and the well-to-do have their theatres and places of amusement: if a penny tea-garden or a penny theatre be opened in Lock's Fields, or in any other poor neighbourhood, the magistrates must put it down;—it is a source of...

    He used to have a segment on his show called THE ROCK WAR, which started off with military drumming and helicopter noise, where he'd play three bands' demos and then you could ring in and vote for the best. "THE ROCK WAR...ACT ONE!...Act one on THE ROCK WAR tonight is LORD CRUCIFIER...they come...

    the "why don't/didn't you talk (or say anything)?" paradox

    Maybe she was just a nutter. I wouldn't take it to heart. My problem's more people saying "Why DID you have to open your trap?"

    Songs about Iran

    While Gang Of Four were prancing around on the OGWT like pissed-up accountants at the Xmas office party, it's good to know that Herne Bay skinheads THE LAST RESORT were keeping it real, delivering an informed analysis and critique of America's handling of the Iranian Hostage Crisis. They just...

    74: SOFT CELL – “NON-STOP EROTIC CABARET” LP “THE GOOD NEWS IS, IT’S NOT BRAIN DAMAGE,” bellows Dr Cavendish, riding on the trolley and guzzling his bottle of Famous Grouse as the orderlies race me down the corridor, battering double doors aside with my skull. Peering from the bandages...

    How can anyone be enraged about forgetting to take a burger out of the freezer? She's literally roaring. It's disturbing my Guinness equilibrium, I'm off.

    As I am doing right now. It's still 4.95 and tastes great. I'm convinced sone regulars are overspill from the now-dead Bald Faced Stag in Burnt Oak. Barwoman in Arsenal cap effing and blinding about Keir Starmer, an annoying cat and whether or not time flies with a customer. But am meeting John...

    75: CLIFTON CHENIER – “LOUISIANA BLUES AND ZYDECO” CD My first trip to New Orleans nearly never happened: I was detained by the goon squad at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and marched into a holding pen.

    Despite him turning into a total plonker, Mode Of Infection, Rise and Pagan Muzak are great and I'd love to have seen one of his early gigs. I had the talking Action Man with the pull cord too, though he was so technically advanced by 1980 you didn't need to insert discs. He'd say ENEMY TANKS...

    Choon of the Day, redux

    Yeah, I agree, Nature Unveiled era was decent (the CD version that has the live bonus tracks is the best IMO) - wasn't the earliest stuff mostly Steve Stapleton anyway? Then it was just Death In June with fey vocals about Noddy and cats.

    Choon of the Day, redux

    Yeah, he did a few tunes with The Fall too...actually, he's a bit like Tibet. That kind of phlegmy ponderous elf tone.
