Thought "shit in art galleries" was going to be some oblique strategy/command :) Yeah, I personally loved seeing Leonor Fini's "Little Hermit Sphinx" and Dali's lobster phone in the Tate Modern, was kinda mesmerised by both...pretty sure I gushed about these on here before though.

That Paul Sykes doc is class, the pinnacle being his back garden recollections of swimming the Straits of Johor and punching a shark "rart in the fookin' earhole".

(stuff I read in '22) Richard Lloyd Parry “Ghosts Of The Tsunami” Harrison Ainsworth: “Old St Paul’s: A Tale Of The Plague And The Fire” Helen McCloy: “Through A Glass, Darkly” Somerset Maugham: “The Magician” Tom Vague: “Harrow Road” (1) Fred Vermorel: “Queen Victoria’s Lovers: Erotomania...

Best get started then.

Only found out recently that Nick Zedd died this year too. Kubrick never made a film with an old man being chased around the house by a rabid poodle and then shooting it, accompanied by The Dead Boys' 'Caught With The Meat In Your Mouth'.

Happy Christmas Dissensus!

I had a mad crush on the brunette after I saw her doing Sound of the Crowd on TOTP. Think I preferred them as glossy pop stars to when they were mithering on about Buddha and doing Tomorrow's World-style slide shows. "Seconds" is a great tune. Also that 12" they did as The Men. But maybe "Path...

OK, so I've basically bolloxed it up by having 30-minute piping hot showers and then eating my dinner in the dark. This is what happens when you spend science lessons daydreaming about sex instead. If anyone knew, we'd have saved ourselves a shitload of grief since 2008.

Everyone up here is giving out about how they can only heat up one room for 10 minutes a day - but my street looks like Las Vegas right now, with FUCKING MASSIVE Xmas lights draped all over the houses and flashing from 4pm to midnight pretty much every day since 1 December. My main plan's to...

Wow, I was off with some of the recalls, but pretty sure that's it. Thanks! ETA - yep, this is the one, as bleak as I remember...

I was going to start a thread about this, but might as well put it here - I saw a bleak UK TV documentary in the (very) late 1990s or 2000s (poss. Channel 4?) about this down-on-his-luck alcoholic journalist trying to sort his life out. Can't remember his name or the programme title, and...

See, if you'd taken those boxing lessons you could've belted him in the schnozz.

Kent gluesniffers have a fair crack at inventing jungle in 1983:

Apparently the World Cup's helping to fuel it and Chinese TV is now trying to edit out maskless crowd footage https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20221123-maskless-world-cup-scenes-spark-anger-in-zero-covid-china

GEORGE REYNOLDS: “Wagner The Wehr-Wolf” Earlier this year, I read Reynolds’ “Mysteries of London Vol 1” – a massive collection of 1830s goth-pulp originally cooked up in weekly instalments for publication in penny dreadfuls. It’s difficult to sum up all 1,000 pages but if ‘Bronte Sisters meet...

It's just not the same without fat blokes in Lacoste polos smashing in D&G and Givenchy store windows, lobbing seats at the cops and wrecking the plumbing in the 'fan zone' to create a 2am fire hydrant-style party fountain.

ALL POWER TO THE DRUID COUNCILS

He did the orgasm one, it's "Cold Meat". He was going to record another one in a burns unit, but think he got distracted by dad duties or just got bored with the idea - though @john eden may know different?

“Live & Dangerous” is good but, overdubs aside, it’s so like the studio recordings I don’t really get the point of it except as a souvenir of the gig, or as a ‘greatest hits’ package. But an 8CD box set + book reissue is fucking preposterous, what a waste of resources. Here are some of mine. No...

Oh, maybe. The red ones belong to the Morrisons, the green ones belong to the Gunns. Makes sense. Though I actually think the colour coding means: red=slaughter next week; green= fatten it up a bit first; blue= friends with benefits. Forgot to mention, Iron Maiden are inexplicably popular up...
