Going to get through Monday morning with some Trouble

Went to the woods, saw some bluebells. It's was very pleasant, would recommend! 👍

Rack off, Bouncer

Voivod are touring in June, hopefully going to see them. Definitely one of my favourite French Canadian prog thrash bands.

I need to step away from energetic punk at this time of the night in case things get out of hand, so onto psych rock. This is totally awesome! King Buffalo - The Burden of Restlessness

Dead Kennedys - Life Sentence Shout out to all the faceless working schmoes having to work for the man like me... cc @diddleynubbins.bsky.social 🤘

My new record, it's sort of how you'd expect, Melvins riffs and rhythms with the added Napalm Death growls and heavier elements. But then there's weird keyboard synthy effects too sending it on a sideways Butthole Surfers type psych weirdness. Interesting.... and growing on me.

MAD MAX was released 47 years ago this week. Acclaimed as one of the great low-budget films, and the movie that launched the career of star Mel Gibson, the making of story is a ride through a dystopian wasteland… 1/44

And now for something completely different... Was reminded on FB that this was released on this day in 1988. Totally blew my mind when I first heard it. Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Steven

New Corrosion of Conformity! Let's do this!

More Thornbridge with another brilliant west coast IPA 🍻

I always thought Punishment for Decadence, Mental Vortex and No More Colour were the Coroner sweet spot. They are all masterpieces obviously, but RIP is an epic debute, this Grin is pretty different and got a new proggy level going on. Their new one is on constant rotation too now!

Finally found the missing Coroner album

Although I'm back in the Midlands which is mostly awful, it does have the one redeeming feature that it's pretty metal as fuck too. So tomorrow I'm going to see Primitive Man and a, few other interesting extreme bands.

Nice! 🍻

Beer from up north 🍻

Return to the East Mids from the North and it's absolutely freezing here. It could just be our house though... can't wait for July when hopefully the internal temperature gets above 18 degrees celsius. Might have some beer to warm myself up.

I've enjoyed Theaksons beer since the early 90s, and regularly still have Old Peculiar. It was only this week I discovered there was a Peculiar IPA though! To be fair it's not that peculiar though, just a nice British IPA.

Still in North Yorkshire and it's awesome! Surf n turf is a massive perfectly cooked tasty sirloin and half the sea with home made chips fried in lard. Beer is cask Theaksons, and there's no ebike ponces or crackheads on the streets. I'm really looking forward to getting home tomorrow 😭😭😭

Another almost empty beach!

I'm originally from Yorkshire. I happily lived here until I was cruelly taken away to live in the East Midlands when I was 2 years old. Just imagine what could have been... I could wake up & look out my window & see the sea, rather than some scroat in a tracksuit gobing on the pavement.

Beers up North! Proper grand I tell thee 🍻

Too many other people on the beach for my liking!

Yay I'm not in Leicester!

Flying Whales man!

Next up! Best British thrash band 🤘

Time for some Gnome, still on a high from their gig earlier this week so chuffed to get number 70 of 500 of this album pressing

Time for this classic! 🍻

Sea bass with chorizo and tomato stew, greens and chips. Had some homemade rouille left over from the Bouillabaisse yesterday if you're wondering what the pink splodge on the fish was. Even the fussy 12yo said 'make that spicy garlic mayo again' 😂

Sea bass for tea

Time for a 2023 homebrew saison after a hard day of sorting shit out. Cheers 🍻

It's OK everyone, it's all been untangled and reassembled in the new cabinet... by the 12yo who did say he was considering being an electrician as a career. All good experience and everyone is a winner.

I suddenly took a dislike to the old white IKEA TV stand, and found an oak one going cheap on Facebook marketplace. It was all going well until I realised there was a few plugs and cables to sort out...

I mean American sludge is all very nice, but sometimes you just need to return home to the comforting embrace of caveman battle doom

Next up it's Primitive Man, seeing them in Nottingham in a week or so. Heavy AF and very nice of yer momma and her pals to pose for the album cover photos...

It's fucking Easter & I'm off work until 13th of April bitches!

I was feeling right tired, ill and fed up until last night. My recovery was all down to big riffs and the simple joys of a Gnome mosh pit.

Normal Monday night out

Time to chill out a bit with some psych stuff, King Buffalo!

Yay I just remembered I'm seeing Gnome on Monday, and I have a bottle of La Chouffe in the fridge. Things are looking up!

Melvins, still need them soothing riffs

I've almost cheered up enough to communicate with other humans.... so it's homebrew random saison of unknown date which tastes good and the soothing sounds of Sleep by the fire. Cheers 🍻

When I finally jack my job in I'm going to ask for my work mac book pro as part of my leaving settlement, then I'm going to throw the bastard thing out the fucking window. Then I might drive over it repeatedly with my car, but not 100% decided that bit yet.

What is the perfect GIF for your Bluesky persona

One more can left of this delicious stuff, cheers! 🍻

I'm also going out for a beer or two and some light relaxing music.

Had a really irritating day where I've achieved nothing, but the new Neurosis album has cheered me right up.

Blimey! Now where did I put my shades....

More Thornbridge Green Mountain while I make curry. Cheers 🍻

Last track of the night, Children of the Damned, total classic
