Gorging on some of my favourite Zappa albums. Just had Waka/Jawaka. Now You Are What You Is, an album that exists in a time slip - its 70mins pass by in what feels like 5.

Converge - Love Is Not Enough I like riffs. Do you like riffs? If you like riffs you will find many a banger on the new Converge.

I just shouted “cunt” at the tv.

“Did I leave the immersion on?”

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep that’s me. You’re probably wondering what I’m doing here while my brother is spending his birthday in police custody. As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother used to say when we were little “Fuck Around, Find Out.”

Wanna feel old? This is what Weezer look like now.

This is why society needs art.

Sorry for the political brain fart. Better out than in, eh? Now I might as well get back to my music.

This is the message that needs to get through. Double/triple agent Epstein celebrated Brexit as a “return to tribalism”. Farridge is part of the Russian plot to turn the West against itself. Stop helping them achieve it. There’s already one Putin puppet in power. We don’t want one in the UK too.

I’ve decided to make a concerted effort to stop catastrophising. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?

🎶I'll be eating you, when the bombs starts to fall. I'll be eating you, since I've turned cannibal. I'll be eating you, so there's nowt you can do.🎶

Mike McKeegan and Fyfe Ewing from punk-pop-metal genre spanners Therapy?

#nowplaying Ten Years After - Live at the Fillmore East 1970 🎸 Been listening to a fair bit of TYA this week but not heard this before. Alvin Lee was the original shredder. So good.

New! Garreth Hirons (@invaderace2000.bsky.social) is back for a chat about Copper Blue by Sugar, the Crusader Nuts advert, The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum, Too Sussed? by These Animal Men, Spring 1994 EP by S*M*A*S*H, Ghoulies Horror Bar and more! timworthington.org/2026/02/03/l...

Seen on Mastodon. This is by Dutch cartoonist Tjeerd Royaards.

Let’s all calm down a little, shall we? Let’s retreat to Paul’s cosy Book Nook where @e-loud.bsky.social can discover what charity shop tomes have been unearthed! It’s everything from Roger Moore to Red Dwarf (with a dash of the Fortean!) Ep 473: Book Nook www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-473-book-...

Nearly there, gang. I can almost smell the weekend. Jean-Luc and Frank helping me to the finish line.

Aliyah Rahman was not the first disabled person harmed by ICE & she won’t be the last Fascists see the disabled as “useless eaters” In Portland 6 agents dragged a 4’6 blind man named Quinn Haberl by his feet. If this is how they treat the disabled in public, it’s far worse in the camps.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

Quicksand - Manic Compression

Aliya Rahman is a disabled woman who was violently dragged from her car by ICE while on her way to a specialist’s appointment She clearly told agents “I’m disabled” Their response? “Too late” They smashed her window. Cut off her seatbelt. Dragged her face down with her arms tied behind her back.

Got any booze for t’baby?

That beaver eats Taco Bell

Tim Booth & Angelo Badalamenti - Booth and the Bad Angel

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Best one ever.

Aranis - s/t Chamber prog/RIO from Belgium. Isn’t it ironic?

Camel’s debut from 1973 Twelve inches of pure joy Listen to Camel 🐪

Hawkwind - PXR5 🤖 Uncensored sleeve. Not sure if this is worth money but the music is priceless and the lyrics prescient. “Layers of smoke in the atmosphere Have made the Earth too hot to bear The Earth might be a desert soon, America has left The Moon Uncle Sam’s on Mars”

Focus - At The Rainbow 🌈 Live albums don’t get much better than this. Neither do gatefolds.

Caravan - Waterloo Lily Their jazziest offering and none the worse for it. The 12-minute Love In Your Eye is pure prog godliness. Progliness. Prodliness. It’s good.

Cocteau Twins - Milk & Kisses Elizabeth Fraser’s voice may not cure *all* ills but it’s pretty damn close. ❤️

There’s never been a better time to discover Philip Glass. May I recommend his 3-act opera Satyagraha, based on Gandhi’s concept of nonviolent resistance to tyranny. Coming from the Sanskrit for “force of truth” I think we could all benefit from its message.

I’m starting to sense a repeating pattern.

Tommy, can you hear me? Tommy, can you see me? Tommy, you’re on mute if you’re talking.

I have defecated to Reform.

Burnham would. Starmer wouldn’t.

Mood lifter. Napalm Death - Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism

Disturbing footage coming out of Minneapolis. Again. ICE isn’t melting. It’s getting worse.

“Hello. Greg Mitchell here. I’ve bought an apocalypse-proof boat, with an array of weaponry. Oh no no no no. What ‘ave I done? My wife’s gonna kill me!”

I feel ya, little penguin guy, I feel ya.

There aren't any penguins in Greenland, but there are other animals.
