I want Tony Barber to Mc my funeral. He can ask guests questions about my life and award drinks vouchers for the wake for right answers. If Tony can’t do it, Ugly Dave Grey will be ok, so long as Noeline Brown is also there. Baby John Burgess would’ve been good too. But I think he’s dead.

From Nick Cave's Red Hand Files today: "I believe that there are times when it is almost a sacred duty to shut the fuck up."

Hawking proved information can’t be destroyed. Now I’m an old surfer, and every wave carries information about the wind, bottom contours, board slicing thru its face etc. So when the wave dissipates on the shore, where does that information go? I’m fascinated by this idea.

I am SO FUCKING EXCITED. #Underworld are playing #Carriageworks on December 29. Underworld live are life changing.

“I was just a scared little boy wearing grownup clothes and hoping no one twigged to my charade.” 1991 was a long time ago, but sometimes I feel like I could just reach out and touch the past. Newish personal writing at #substack joshuagliddon.substack.com/p/red-crystals

#netzero is a laudable goal. But it’s also completely unachievable. There’s no way heavy transport will be decarbonised by 2050. Same goes for aviation and shipping. And the little secret is renewables, even with big batteries, can’t do baseload, so we’re gonna be relying on gas for years to come.

I think the acid I’ve dropped in recent months has done something. I feel more expansive, more accepting. More in tune with the universal, fundamental drone. I think acid is a sacrament, and needs to be treated with respect. But it has also opened my mind. #acid #LSD #ergot

This song was SO far ahead of its time. Donna Summer and Gorgio Moroder pretty much invented dance music. youtu.be/9ZqqvrWCs3Q?...

Galaxie 500 are one of the most important bands of the last 40 years or so. Their music evokes that feeling of melancholy you have on a grey day at home by yourself, with only a pack of smokes, a cup of coffee and yr thoughts to keep you company. #Galaxie500 #DeanWareham youtu.be/NFKKKockOu4?...

Blockchain. Remember that? Useful for precisely nothing except indirectly gobbling up massive amounts of electricity so the crypto grifters can engage in their ongoing Ponzi scheme.

The first two #MercuryRev albums were SO fucken sick. They kicked out their singer, David Baker, after those two rekkids and, like so many bands we loved, kinda lamed out after that. I woulda LOVED to have seen them in 91. So many bands, so many bands we never saw. youtu.be/Y5LiTI4a69A?...

This is real, somehow

The optics of any single male over about the age of 30 going to Thailand or similar for a solo “holiday” are bad.

As a writer, you know what bugs me? How most media outlets have stopped using honorifics. When I came thru, the only people who didn’t get them were convicted criminals. Now everyone is referred to by their last name. It lacks elegance and respect. @mjcpowell.bsky.social @anthonycaruana.bsky.social

Just saw an article: “Pearl Jam albums rated worst to best.” Like, you’re trying to tell me anything they did is actually good? A more appropriate title would’ve been: “Why Pearl Jam blow donkeys and always have.”

Dear Writers, Your talents, your learned skills, and your humanity are desperately needed. You don't need to prove this to anyone. You just need to get back up. Keep fighting the good fight.

#books are awesome.

In the early 90s I was paying $A120 for a quarter ounce of bud. Today, my kids are paying between $A100-$A120 for the same amount, meaning in real terms the price of weed has fallen significantly over the last 30 years.

Amphetamines, a couple o' can of IPA, and Jane's Addiction. It doesn't get any better. Well, actually, the only things that could make it better would be hanging with some friends and a pack or two of Lucky Strikes. But still, pretty fucken good. youtu.be/Ds_mAJ5OKzE?...
