    Drag / witch house

    I don't know if this fits the bill but I had a fascination with this a few years ago. Works well late at night while contemplating the utter futility of existence under late capitalism. Dug it out again early lockdown, with the reports of dolphins frolicking in the canals of Venice. Bit of a...

    Time Capsules

    Essential mid-90s breakfast (fags, coffee and Nurofen) viewing. Usually after a wild night spent watching this:

    Lockdown 2.0

    That's my worry too. I'd rather there was a higher chance of death vs. recovery/immunity with no side-effects, and take that gamble, than face the possibility of life on a respirator. Or wheezing, totally knackered, after a 10-minute walk.

    Can you change your mind? (the Musical)

    I'm well out of the loop - he seems another one with zillions of releases spiralling out of control. I'm a bit cold on acoustic improv. Didn't he remix loads of Current 93 albums?

    Can you change your mind? (the Musical)

    I've had that with experimental/avant garde records. Like I'd read someone gushing over Robert Ashley's 'Wolfman' and how it was basically him inventing power electronics in the early '60s...so I'd get it, and really like the idea of it, but actually find it boring and never want to play it...

    The dissensus personal defence armoury

    No doubt weapons and martial arts can help to shore up the odds, but they're probably not all that effective if you're up against a genuine psycho with violence in their blood, who's used to scrapping, can turn all their strength and energy against you and has no compunction about killing you. A...

    Can you change your mind? (the Musical)

    I'm with Version on this - wasn't into Prince until I suddenly 'got it' a few years ago. Made myself a small playlist of random songs of his (all from the '80s), as well as stuff by Vanity 6, Sheila E, The Family, Jill Jones etc. There' still loads of his stuff that does nothing for me, but the...

    What is that thing, Marie Laveau's mutant hoodoo miscarriage?

    wake up lads its time to talk about sin

    You're right but I was taught you can't do this as it falls under the sin of presumption? Technically, you can live a life of complete sin - go around stealing, killing, raping, supporting rangers, etc - but, if you repent on your deathbed, the slate's wiped clean. Except if you did all that bad...

    wake up lads its time to talk about sin

    Is that why God gave him a goat's head too?

    wake up lads its time to talk about sin

    Unfortunately my mother ingratiated herself with the parish priest (used to invite around for dinner), so I toned down my sin list in case any of it got back to her. Skip any mention of jazz mags (10 Rosaries) and just mumble something about disrespecting my parents or teachers (2).

    wake up lads its time to talk about sin

    Yeah and he was chucked out of heaven for pride, ffs. It's not like he stabbed someone.

    Wow. Did you like Hail Marys or something?

    'Woke capitalism' in 2020

    Fortunately Raytheon has now set up RAYBAME and RAYPRIDE divisions so everyone can get involved in missile system production.

    Sophistication

    Those chairs are the most uncomfortable I've ever suffered in London, gave me a dead arse minutes in. The beer glasses are small too.

    Aliens: Do they exist?

    Well yeah, duh. Idiots call them 'octopuses'. I reckon 99% of 'space science' is bollocks. "The stars you see in the sky actually died 10,000 years ago!" sounds really sad and romantic but there's no basis to it. Was probably just some NASA bod trying to impress a woman he fancied. Probably...
