Texan hippies accidentally record a punk classic: Featuring a future Smith, but don't let that put you off: Even Giorgio Moroder had a pop:

Are you all on super duper computers? When I click these links and enter random phrases nothing happens. Or do you have to wait hours for it to work?

If you've got £1.7 million or so lying around, this castle outside Edinburgh's come on the market. Trounces all those godawful LED-lit marble & plexiglass dumps in the Billionaires thread, IMO - but who needs an infinity pool when you can get pissed under a massive stag's head...

A recording of a Jah Tubby's sesh at the Five-O club in Luton in 1986, courtesy of one of the best packages I've ever received in the post from @bunnyhausen. The bass on this is evil.

Just google-imaged The Idles 🤢 Would rather The Venom had my back walking down a dark alley

Pssst....over here...got a really good tip...new coin out, might be worth throwing a few £100 in...DOGEPOX INU

Can't help with Virginia Astley, but I've had 'Monkey Cage' by Felix Da Housecat in my head, only as 'Monkey Pox'. Might be a bit hard to say "It's just overblown sniffles!" when your body looks like bubble wrap.

GENESIS P-ORRIDGE “Non-Binary” Bit weird when somebody who lived, breathed and gargled transgression opts for the standard rock biog schtick of discussing parents and childhood homes for the first 40 or so pages. Yeah, yeah…get to TG already. When he finally does, I get an extreme case of déjà...

Me too, Dr Who fans are even worse than Trekkies. The only thing it got right was depicting Dunstable as a desolate wasteland of human misery.

Forgot about that! Remember babysitting my niece when I was 13 and looking through my brother in law's record collection (mostly rock/metal) around midnight, and came across this album - those notes (and the cover art) gave off a weird/occult vibe...had to ask to borrow it. (Then my jaw dropped...

The best shades I ever had were a pair of snide Police sunglasses I got in Chatuchak Market in Bangkok for £1.35. Was gutted when one of the lenses fell out a few years later. Every other pair I’ve tried made me look like I’m in a Donal MacIntyre sting. I've heard this as well.

Sounds like cringe incarnate. I'd just say you're really busy but will think about it, and change the subject pronto. Seeing as this thread got revived, I also remembered this monstrosity from 2020. Hope the wanker responsible is denied WFH forever:

Dunno if I'm lowering the tone but

The inner booklet notes and pics on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Patti Smith albums are great, in an obsessive’s sort of way. Wouldn’t have worked out the meaning of ‘Broken Flag’ without them. Wasn’t there an early Stones album where the liner notes said if you can’t afford this album, go out and kick...

The odd thing is, there's a woman at our place who's been vociferous about us all returning (she's not even in management!) since late 2020... and even now, she keeps banging on about how it'll benefit everyone to return, and how it's impossible to get a day's work done at home because of...

It’s a pretty key component of the Tory mindset, though. That nagging suspicion that somebody, somewhere has bagged a perk – no matter how small or inconsequential, compared to the privileges you possess. You could be sitting in a £900k house, mortgage paid off, and if someone on the dole wins a...

How do you even get worms? Last time I heard of anal worms (well, before this thread) was reading Mayhew's observations on Victorian London. You're quite well-heeled men, how did this occur? Presumably not through lapping at a puddle while scarfing down a pigeon's cadaver? Or did your parents...

IRA edition: Suppose we have to mention Charles Manson too - 'Live At San Quentin' and a more demented one on some neo-nazi label. Didn't Bobby Beausoleil record some of the Lucifer Rising soundtrack in prison too? Denis Nilsen recorded electronic music in prison, but good luck tracking...

I was 26 or 27 and wanted to go for a drink with some nice people in London and spend days in the office online-yapping about music and other stuff. I’m OG, I’ll have you know, joined in the first week! (or fortnight, maybe, it's hazy…) Since then I pop in now and then, like a useless prodigal...

Bit drunk but I’m laughing now imagining some bloke in a velvet smoking jacket in Hampstead, playing Mahler’s 5th on a £3,000 sound system and yelling “AAAAARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
