What are you DOING with the tap?? Dancing underneath it, like it's a waterfall??? You run the cold one when you brush your teeth. The hot one when you wash your hands. It takes about 30 seconds for the hot tap to become hot enough to scald you, which is plenty of time to wash your hands.

What the hell is this...a living room beach party? Are you sitting indoors in shades and Bermuda shorts? No socks? What are we, monkeys in a zoo?? I mean, I know Greta Thunberg wants to send people who buy shitcoins to 'greenhouse prison', but you septics really need to lay off the thermostats...

Cortina Mk3s are cool. Also one of the old Toyotas - I think it's the '84 Corolla but couldn't swear on it - this one anyway, beneath the dog: Modern cars are just unsightly bubbles, what happened to edges? Aren't Lamborghinis just a pile of shit that break down every 2 weeks, and you...

Reading "Flow My Tears..." by PKD had a similar effect on me - one of my most paranoid reading experiences (bar the completely shit 'epilogue' page...though it does help you to snap out of the spell, I guess?). Also the bit in the film "Wir Kinden vom Bahnhof Zoo" where she's desperately trying...

Oh yeah, this definitely happens. Trying to think of examples that don’t make me sound completely unhinged, but you can cycle through multiple writers in a short space of time and feel a shift in your mindset, mood and perception of your surroundings with each switch. It’s also interesting when...

Ditto with dozens of tunes. For albums, this electro banger c/o Nina Pretty sure this one had to be via Bunnyhausen? Droid and/or Eden must have introduced me to some lost classic '80s dancehall album, but am struggling to remember.

"I don't know who needs to hear this but..."

I asked him this once in a pub in Soho and he said "No!!" with a genuine look of disgust.

Yeah, quite a few of the rastas too.

"Disco records were hurled like frisbees" :ROFLMAO: I agree with Version - not liking disco is just weird and wrong. But I love the fact some people disliked it enough to mount an all-out pitch invasion. Better than a snarky Pitchfork review, anyway. Meanwhile, in the UK, we had spotty...

Suck on this, Weller.

Yeah, it's a shame. Would much rather watch drill gangs vs furries than the Olympics BMX racing.

Yes, that was the way. If you weren't wearing a YSL shirt and Mr Byrite jeans, you were outcasts, united against the enemy, and to hell with whether Conflict were better than Bathory. Obviously it's much better these days if you don't like black eyes, but there was no way you'd get a Happy...

My dad was great sometimes. I've really pleasant memories of our house being invaded at certain times of year by his workmates... my mum making mountains of sandwiches in the kitchen, people whipping out the squeezebox and drinking and playing Irish folk records until the small hours, and...

I wish I'd understood him more at the time. I think I do now but it's 20 years too late, or more if you count Alzheimer's dead air time. I think we saw the worst sides of each other. Get jealous sometimes when I hear older siblings telling stories about the time he did this or that.

In the Vague anthology "The Great British Mistake", there's a 1980 interview with Crass (who used to bitch about any contemporaries on a major label), and they say they like Paul Weller because The Jam played a No Nukes gig at the last minute and didn't ask for payment. No clue about him...

No digs meant by the 'middle class' comment, just think-typing out loud. It's not like Lemmy ever denied his background. This is your fault… you now have me pondering the diverse paths taken by Lemmy and Paul Weller and their root causes. Need another drink.

To be fair, Lemmy was born 13 years before Weller, but never recorded anything as lame as "Changing Man". It's not age, it's attitude.

Weird...would have guessed there'd be more rough trade appeal in the one who looked like a 'Minder' extra. The Adam Ant fantasy in that book is hilarious :ROFLMAO: Liked some of the singles but didn’t think the albums were all that. “All that rugby puts hairs on your chest / what chance have...
