Went out with a girl from Stourbridge. Bit too indie, not a sound I ever found palatable. You used to see their sort every so often, bit tragic as I associate The Wonder Stuff with the area and that’s an unfair bias. Beautiful part of the world along the Severn in places btw

Football caveat. Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina was a twist on Italia 90. Not a PWEI fan but the Incredi-Bull mix (Steve Bull Wolves legend) kicked around and mixes well with the extended cut






Since? Lost count of CM soundtracks but Robert Aki Lowe is a more coherent source for biofeedback sounds, manipulating plant life through processors, building pulsing drone layers. Canny cunt too if a bit pretentious

I really want to like Zodiac Mindwarp but the songs are so shit that I just cannot.

I don't knowof any other band where the image they have of themselves - as dangerously sexy leather clad rock gods, the merest thought of whom conjures up a menacing aura throbbing with impossibly exciting magic and crackling with barely controlled electricity, threatening any second to explode into brilliant shards of pure, white hot rock n roll - which they convey so confidently in interviews or when writing about themselves... differs so much from the reality I which they are - admittedly leather clad z pseudorock losers whose tunes are so boring you forget them while they are on.

I was going to say, actually, I remember when you lent me The Wild Highway about a hundred years ago, you told me you checked out Mark Manning's band, with the name suggestive of the most far-out crazy shit you've ever heard, and it turned out to be instantly forgettable rock.
