    Shallow electropop and electroclash

    Surprisingly not. Most of the album's pretty shit - though "Drive Me Wild" is total electroclash before its time. I still think Felix is brilliant. Liked some of Kittin's CD with the Hacker but her schtick got boring real quick. I even liked Hand To Phone by Adult, but only one of the mixes. I...

    the psychosis of night shifts

    I used to do night shifts at the GPO/Parcelforce, including 2pm-6am shifts around Xmas time. It was basically like having a dream about being at work. All the nonsensical, inexplicable dream bits – including people ripping open PG Tips bags in front of fans to create ‘tea winds’…or people taking...

    Pervert Of The Day

    "GOOD MORNING MR TEA...ROGER COOK, CENTRAL TELEVISION...IS THIS YOUR THREAD? THIS IS YOUR THREAD, ISN'T IT, MR TEA? IT SAYS HERE, VERY CLEAR TO SEE, "JULY 15TH, MR TEA"...WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME WITH THAT UMBRELLA, MR TEA?"

    Well, you're a man of taste, Leo. I wouldn't expect anything less. Does your rare US punk 7" stash include the first Nuns EP, by the way? I'm baffled that one's still floating around on Discogs for around $50 a pop, given the A-side's absolutely fucking flawless - certainly better than a lot of...

    Don't blame him, they were abysmal. I'd be miffed not even playing at or going to it. Speaking of 'industrial', I've just remembered one of the worst UK bands I ever saw live: Sheep On Drugs Nah, "High Priest of Love", "Dangerous" and "Wild Child" were great!

    Saw them twice, once at a gig put on by St Albans AFA and in the New X Venue a few years later. Both gigs were way more straightforward 'punk' than the Word performance (which looks kinda goofy) - pre-gig rumours that BNP skins were planning an attack on the gig added to the adrenalin buzz. I...

    Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

    Someone sprayed a massive "HITLER WAS A NAZI" in Luton in the late '80s or very early '90s. Good to see someone's revived this tradition, though bonus points to the original for sticking to the past tense.

    Websites for buying Airplane tickets

    They do, though. I found a semi-deserted Sainsburys Metro during Lockdown 1.0 and developed a sudden taste for rum, so I started adding Havana Club to my 'essential' shops. Three bottles in, they added £3 to the price tag. I'm not 100%, but fairly sure nothing's binding until you've clicked...

    ‘Tyranny of Busyness’

    Busyness is a survival strategy. Nobody can possibly meet all these targets and KPIs and dynamic 'roadmaps' to success , so your best bet’s just to be constantly ‘busy’, 9 to 5, and kick it down the line to the next person. My boss got a bit cranky with me in late 2021 because I hadn’t taken...

    Catholic bling

    I can't find the pics online, but during Semana Santa in Spain, the altar boys get these amazing gold-trim black jackets that make them look like a cross between 18th century generals and bullfighters. I'd have served Mass every day if I'd been issued that, instead of a hideous smock. Striding...

    Did John Duncan really shag a corpse?

    https://johnduncan.org/2021/08/bus-ride/ This sounds like a bigger load of bollocks than the corpse sex, tbh. You could have asked him about it. Loudly...during the middle of his set.

    Creative Genius at Walkers

    It's like something you'd get from the guest artist on "Strontium Dog" when the regular guy went off sick. To be fair, I think they'd redesigned her (?) a bit by that point, given her intergalactic thigh boots and a better third eye.

    Creative Genius at Walkers

    Has anyone tried Walkers KFC flavour? I actually don't mind the Colonel's secret recipe... it's just the 'eating rotten pigeon' and 'screaming fat schoolkids' bits I try to avoid.
