    what are you reading now?

    Yeah, I thought that bibliography/discography at the back was crucial as a teen...everything from Vague 'zine and The Mass Psychology Of Fascism to The Electric Eels and The Pop Group. Still never come across that "terrific" dub album he mentions by 'Skin, Flesh & Bones', though. Current reading:

    Dissensus 20th

    I'll be hosting a tie-in event in the Glasshouse Stores in Brewer Street, Was Karl Marx The Highgate Vampire?, where I'll share anecdotes about K-Punk and recall the last time we had a drink there, back in the 2000s. A night of pure praxis, too spicy for the po-(mo)-faced Goldsmiths eulogies.

    london finance bro taxonomy

    From my experience, the finance bros/salesman hordes I've worked with favoured salmony pink shirts with white collars and cuffs, under light pinstripe jackets, with brown pointy shoes. Shiny pink faces too. They do a good job of coming across as alpha dogs until the boss waddles in, whereupon...

    Public Art

    Ughh, I dunno...a lot of it looks shit to me. Always hated what they did to St Pancras Station full stop, let alone that statue. Didn't someone vandalise the Gorbals boys a while ago? There should at least be some local consultation before they commission this stuff. There was a hoo-ha about...

    Yeah :confused:

    Horrifying Sex Toys From Beyond

    By far, the worst of these 'toys' I've ever seen must be...the WANKATRON. Spied this vile device in a seedy four-storey building in Tokyo's Akihabra district. Amidst the superhero cosplay gangbang DVDs, vaccum-packed sweaty schoolgirl socks, and T-shirts with a grainy pic of a toddler wearing...

    Bedbugs on the Victoria Line

    Apparently fire ants eat bed bugs, so just tip a bucket of them over your mattress and you should be fine. Not surprised they targeted the Victoria Line, to be honest. The stink would knock a polecat sideways.

    Pretty Book Covers

    I nicked this edition from a library at 15 after months of renewing it - not saying that to sound cool (it was selfish), but I didn't know that one day you'd be able to find 10 of 'em on eBay. The cover sums up how I felt as a teen - sucked into a vortex of raging hormones, every filthy thought...

    The worst thing you've heard all day

    There's no hope, Maxi has won this thread, it's not even close. I never thought it'd be possible to get AI to generate a cross between Chumbawamba and Go Team, only 100 trillion times shitter, but My Son The Hurricane have surpassed that goal.

    Through the letterbox

    Someone sent me an unsolicited David Cassidy 7" last year, in a brown mailer with no identifying postmark. I have no idea why...I didn't play it but looked up the lyrics online, to see if there might be a hidden message (nada). Then tossed it in the bin, 'cos 'decluttering'. When I lived in...

    LOL Larry O'Hara? You're fucked, son. On file.

    The feel of the 2010's

    I remember a lot of the 2000s bloggers getting severely narky or depressed in the 2010s. It also seemed a time of ridiculous polarising extremes - reading news stories about people setting themselves on fire outside jobcentres vs the latest trend for 'fish pedicures'.

    Choon of the Day, redux

    I only really remember that one because Bootboys, Punk Rock, Glam and Mod Rule are so insane, they make Stewart Home's parodies look 'normal'. Worst was Knuckle Girls, which should be called "Diary Of A Social Worker", despite the great cover.

    Choon of the Day, redux

    Haha yeah, was 'Bootboys'...much better than Skinhead, lol. Need to wrap up a teen aggro pulp novel that's going nowhere? Just mention the lead psycho is obsessed with Crowley and does a naked ritual in a churchyard :ROFLMAO:

    Choon of the Day, redux

    Anyway, if Version had ever green-lighted my "99 racist oi records and one John Holt record" ((c) Luka) top 100, this would have been in it - the only Satanic Oi! tune I know of...nice Black Sabbath sample too

    Choon of the Day, redux

    Missed your original post!...discovered Night Dubbing last year when I visited Bunnyhausen, who has an amazing track record for casually playing life-changing bangers.

    what are you reading now?

    William Harrison Ainsworth: "Auriol; or The Elixor Of Life" (1844) I'm not expecting the world from a Victorian gothic pot boiler, and I get that it's probably hard to wrap up a plot that involves an immortal/time-travelling anti-hero and dwarf from 1599 getting mixed up with the Illuminati...
