Amadán is really just the Irish version of schmuck.

So there's a radio station that just plays Casiopea and sometimes The Square too. I'm in heaven. radio.garden/listen/nonst...

I wish people could understand that just because you don't like a feature you have doesn't mean you don't like that feature on other people. Often I'll say everyone with X feature looks great, except for me!

Yes I support the Jewish state.

I never had a hen party since I didn't have a lot of IRL female friends and I got married while I was in university and therefore wanted to prioritise money to go to Australia for the honeymoon, but if I did have one, I would have totally done a Disney trip.

I'm watching Daisy Jones & The Six and this is basically just Velvet Goldmine but for Fleetwood Mac.

8 June 1966 - Small Faces play the Top Rank Ballroom, Doncaster. The Pretty Things play the Locarno, Stevenage. Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band play the Orchid Ballroom, Purley. The Alan Price Set play Top Rank, Southampton. The Artwoods play the Town Hall, Stourbridge. #6TYAT #OTD

If you want yet another example of AI not knowing what it's talking about, I was looking up a list of 1950s female musicians and it listed rock drummer Sandy Nelson as a female musician. ffs!

Publishing Crime of the Century has demonstrated to me that it's not just women who love true crime, it's also men. I knew this early on because my dad is the reason I got into true crime. Starting when I was 8 years old, every Friday and Saturday night we would watch true crime documentaries.

This has to be one of my favourite Kino concert videos. Kino are easily one of my all time favourites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEMI...

How I feel when I say spoki noki instead of good night.

These two are somehow linked. If you know how these are linked, you're a real one. 👽🏳️‍🌈

The obnoxious person who talked incessantly about their study abroad year to obnoxious person who talks incessantly about their trip to Japan pipeline. It's me!

I will take 2006 Windows Movie Maker videos over AI slop.

Does anyone like psychedelic photography?

Yesterday I went to Moonlight: The Philip Lynott Enigma. While it wasn't what I thought it was going to be, I still thought it was a good show! Here are my thoughts, plus a little bonus listicle at the end, my favourite poetic Phil Lynott lyrics. crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/05/24/c...

My grandfather would have fit in perfectly in today's world. He was obsessed with China and it was his favourite country to visit. He made it a point to go to China as soon as tourism opened up in the early 80s.

New interview on the blog! If you're a big fan of groups like Kino, Bi-2, and Molchat Doma, you'll like Milan Matskevych's music. In this interview, we talk about the Ukrainian born musician's influences, musical journey, and debut album, Kyiv Waits. crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/05/18/i...

I like to think I combine the approachability and storytelling of pop history with the rigour and nuance of academic history. You can indeed be factual, but unpretentious and tell these stories from history in a cinematic way. That's how I see my book Crime of the Century.

Saw this dumb comment. I wonder how Oscar Wilde, Roscoe Arbuckle, Lenny Bruce, Muhammad Ali, Pete Seeger, and The Hollywood Ten would feel about this statement. All of these men experienced cancel culture before that term was even a thing.

Been obsessed with Taj Mahal by Jorge Ben. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Au...

I like thinking that You Really Got me is a bisexual anthem because when Ray sings girl, he sings it in a way that he could be talking to a girl, but he could be singing girl in the gay slang way.

A while ago I made this dumb shitpost that no one found funny, except for me.

First episode of Crime of the Century: Classic Rock & True Crime: The Podcast. Mostly music, but in between we talk about Ronnie Hawkins, The Hawks/The Band and Jack Ruby. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvoK...

Jackie Chan's OK I Love You is unironically a banger www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZtx...

RIP Lenny Bruce, you would have loved Cum Town.

Anew project related to Crime of the Century: Classic Rock & True Crime is in the pipeline! Experience the book in a different way!

I'm looking at this Y2K jeans brand size chart out of curiosity. I need the largest size they have or I'm too big for them. My measurements are 34"-23"-37". I've worn the same jeans size for almost 20 years, a US size 4 (except when I was underweight and a size 2). 2000s beauty standards are insane!

Have you been reading about Artemis II and seeing all the cool pictures from space? Here are two blog posts I wrote in 2019 talking about space themed classic rock songs. Enjoy! 🌙 crazyonclassicrock.com/2019/07/12/c... crazyonclassicrock.com/2019/07/20/c...

It's been a while since I've published a blog post but that's because I was writing a blog post all about world music classic rock fans would enjoy. This is a blog post I've wanted to write for so long. Enjoy! :) crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/03/11/w...

Finishing up my world music for classic rock fans who are afraid of world music and I stumbled across this gem, King of City Pop Tatsuro Yamashita singing The Beach Boys' Don't Worry Baby. If you're a big Beach Boys fan, listen to the soundtrack he did for Big Wave! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl0v...

New book review: Joy Division & New Order by Mayer Nissim crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/02/24/b...

New interview on the blog with music journalist and Kiss '76 author Martin Popoff! crazyonclassicrock.com/2026/02/19/i...

One of the things that kinda irks me is when people suspect a guy is gay, they never entertain the possibility they could be bisexual. I think we shouldn't just consider things as either/or, we should also consider the possibility of both/and.
