Incubus performing “Megalomaniac” on Top of the Pops (2005)

Our pals at @breakfastruins.bsky.social have an imminent gaming minicon/meetup/pissup and guess who did the art? No, not Rodney Matthews, but his Diamond Head- Living On Borrowed Time art was *possibly* an influence.

@alkennedy.bsky.social hey I'm trying to recall a Pratchett short story I read in an anthology late 80s/ early 90s. Set in the future, bits seemed to predict elements of social media, "we always thought the future would be cool, sitting in noodle bars in the rain". Does this make any sense at all?

More spooky shit podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/bad-elepha...

Gutted that John Blanche has died. Hands down the greatest illustrator in the history of tabletop wargames. He constantly pushed GW to be weirder, more baroque, and more frightening. A truly generational talent whose singular vision will be much missed.

At a wedding, i was startled to hear the band using as their walk on music (a snippet from) It Bites' 15 minute prog epic Once Around The World

As Simple Minds recommendations go, I love the idea of kicking off with Veldt!

Bad Elephant Energy! Shudder deep dive: hazy horror reviews, a fresh Mandela Effect, and a genuinely terrifying elephant tale. Plus: fake noses, Labyrinth in Concert, Time Slips, and some appreciation for a Bucks Fizz "classic". podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/bad-elepha...

I only managed 7 but looking at some of the drawings maybe that's not actually that bad... www.monkeon.co.uk/look-in-star...

This is an excellent episode and a great format for a podcast- digging up old interviews. I remember a good one with The Who from about this time on Aspel

Timothy/Davidson/Hardy power trio!

(Ross Gellar keyboard noises).

I'm having to redo the last 10 hours or so of Baldurs Gate 3 just because D-Tier Companion Halsin looked a bit sad.

Can't wait to read about Peter Spork, Dinky Molens, Spikel Snesmith and Gravy Joans.

Still emptying out Nanna’s house and discovered 82748274717484 photos including this gem where Boris, our fearsome ginger cat who FAMOUSLY played Jonesy on Aliens, just shares our Alsatian’s dinner. Literally couldn’t have given a single shit.

On our family photos from Christmas 1985, there's a kid nobody remembers. We have no idea who he was or how he could possibly have been opening presents with us in his pyjamas.

This song always reminds me of driving from Gaithersburg to Ocean City. It's so beautiful it's almost hypnotic www.youtube.com/watch?v=qki0...

Slave to the Rhythm

A question for The Verve Pipe. Was it more fun supporting KISS (original lineup) or Imperial Drag? Meanwhile I bet Terrorvision were having a right laugh with Def Leppard! podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

The Banana Splits' Wait Til Tomorrow is rightly praised here, and while it might not strictly be a cover version, Search For Tomorrow from Logan's Sanctuary is *suspiciously* similar youtu.be/CPzBJYZrrfY?...

One from the vaults! A Book of Ghosts and Goblins (1968) by Ruth Manning-Sanders, illustrated by Robin Jacques, cover by Brian Froud #FolkloreThursday #ghosts

Today is a great day for the birth of Horror icons: Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and most of all, Cilla Black.

Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell in this week's issue of Kerrang, gives us the opportunity to talk about The Cable Guy, again podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

We watched Hell House LLC which I presume us some kind of classic because I've seen a lot of mentions of it. Pretty good. Not sure if we'll watch the 4 (!) Sequels though!

What if Planet of the Apes is just America and if Charlton Heston went to another country, it's just normal humans?

It's a bank holiday and there's nothing to do - the perfect opportunity to catch up with PantoSplaining, the panto poster podcast! New episode - featuring Bob Carolgees TISWAS pop career youtu.be/RG5gVWVJS0Y Everything else at linktr.ee/PantoSplaining

NEWS! (From '96) Aerosmith can't get their shit together, however Pat Boone is still able to knock out an album of Metal covers podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

Trent Reznor's doin' the soundtrack to Quake (Doom, but dark, edgy, and covered in rust) - that led us to remember Command and Conquer: Red Alert's HELL MARCH and Star Wars Force Commander's "industrial metal" version of the Imperial March. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

I'm listening to a podcast on the worst sitcoms ever and I'm incensed Babes in the Wood isn't in there.

Here's a super niche joke for @b3ta.com's "change one letter in a famous work of art" image challenge. I give you: The Girl with the Peart Earring.

Reef's particular peculiar brand of hairy balled ROCK yielded a few big hits in the mid 90s, best enjoyed if you can banish thoughts of Chris Evans' smug face. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

Kerrang has a FREE TAPE! Reef! Ash! Er... The Dawn! But most pertinently- Imperial Drag! They may not have set the world on fire but they did one amazing album *and* featured prominently on a CD compilation I made for Mrs PWM when we were first dating. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

New Pod! TOOL! KORN! REEF! and other four letter words. It's the 90s, baby! podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/searchin-f...

No that was Peter Gabriel I

Guys, I fixed Episode 9.

Scott McCloud’s book “Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art” was originally published in 1993. An immediate critical and commercial success, it went on to become the most widely cited book about comics. Among comics scholars, McCloud's opus is both beloved and widely debated. 1/10

This podcast has been reimagined - it's darker, edgier and NINETIES AS FUCK! New episode coming tomorrow, to the extreme.

A good day to listen to this banger of an album. youtu.be/CYw-ecttQb8?...

Went to see The Addams Family at the cinema and we came out talking about how good the trailer for Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey had been, so I guess I realised it had kinda been a waste of an evening.

I was HUGE Monkees fan. I persuaded my Dad to take me and two friends to see their movie Head. It was not what we were expecting, let's just put it that way. We came out quite shell-shocked with not a clue what we had seen.

I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3. Again.

For a second there I thought that was Randall from Clerks.

This will be good, but the subsequent 9 hour doc on the making of Market Square Heroes will feature a lot of unnecessary padding.

PSA: Both #DontStopTheMusic and #IntoTheGroove are 99p on Kindle formats right now. Dive in, if you haven't done so before. If you buy the physical copies instead at normal price, I will not stand in your way. (Father's Day in a month, just saying.)
