    Music you pretended to like

    Me too. It came out on CD around '92 and John Peel played a couple of songs from it on each show over a month, so it was like getting all these never-ending random fragments, totally clashing with The Wedding Present or Shellac, or whatever else he was playing. I think that's a good way to hear...

    Music you pretended to like

    A 16-year old South African girl at Luton Sixth Form lent me “Let It Be” by Laibach. I returned it saying “it’s good!” (it sucked) but that was more out of politeness than fancying her (she was shagging a 30-something geography teacher anyway). Lying to women about being vegan (while scarfing...

    The Darrell Brooks trial

    He's just been thrown out of the courtroom again, lol. Couldn't even get through his first witness without pissing off the judge.

    The Darrell Brooks trial

    Has anyone been watching this? Totally bonkers. Brooks is the wanker who drove an SUV into a Xmas parade in Wisconsin last year, killing 6 and injuring loads more. You’d think he might have got a good lawyer and played the contrite/emotionally distressed card, but instead he’s decided to...

    Canonic Albums by Artists Who You Love and Revere But For Some Reason This One Bypasses You Almost Completely

    Can imagine Mark E Smith snarling that. I guess Fun House vs Raw Power should be polarising, with the different guitar styles. Ron Asheton sounds like he’s smoked several blunts and is tripping out on an all-night jam, while James Williamson plays like a Vietnam vet with PTSD who’s just...

    Canonic Albums by Artists Who You Love and Revere But For Some Reason This One Bypasses You Almost Completely

    Agree about Funhouse–sounds like they recorded it on mogs, and Side 2’s total crap. Mind you, I heard Raw Power first, so the first 2 albums were never really going to cut it. Lee Perry – Super Ape. Of all his albums, why is this seen as the ‘pinnacle’? I don’t mind it at all, but it’s the one...

    Suggest an album to listen to and i'll give it a cursory once over

    Nah, wasn’t meant as a joke – didn’t know it wasn’t on YT, or whether you were SLSKing these (originally requested ‘Head Over Heels’ by Cocteau Twins, then swapped it). Though admittedly going for one of the bleakest releases of that obscurist UK ‘80s industrial scene could be seen as a bit of a...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    Let's fire this up again, I want to retire by Xmas. Joke dog coins are the only ones that've paid off for me so far, but now I'm all in on QNT, XRP and HBAR - smart move? Also what's Dissensus' take on Vectorspace AI? Cheap right now, and sexbots are surely a future boom industry?

    Well he was on a high, celebrating his new book deal, and I have the new COVID strain.

    Energy crisis

    Good turnout at the Kings X demo with John Eden today. Some drip from a group called Socialist Appeal approached us and said "Good afternoon, I want to bring up a sensitive subject...every eight seconds, a paperseller goes without..." - but Eden shoved him out of the way. Some social meeja...

    lagers in greenwich right now

    Good sign IMO, pubs that sell Monster Munch are usually well worth drinking in too, I've found. I hate it when pubs sell those disgusting overbaked brown crisps with flavours like sea salt and cider vinegar, or sun dried tomato, that turn into splinters in your gob.

    Beer And Beer Drinking

    Having a pint of Hophead and a packet of salt and vinegar Taytos (poor man's Walkers) after a long walk along the Brighton seafront. Barman telling his mate about his new age synth gig at the Green Door and discussing some local controversial noise bloke who apparently came out as a Trump...

    Tintin -vs- Asterix

    Think the link's dead, but I'd forgotten all about that - there's a bit where Tintin and Haddock go for a pint but their pub's been converted into a yuppie wine bar and Tintin throws a stool at the barman. It was stupid but quite funny on drugs. Was it this?
