"Sinks to the bottom like a fucked-up boat"

Not sure who it was who pointed it out on here last time I posted this song but they’re absolutely right -‘….the body of Venus… *with arms*’ is surely- surely- the most absurd rock lyric of all time. youtu.be/JGftIcp2SC0?...

Simply cannot mentally separate Jeff Mills and Jeff Wayne in my mind. "Oh it's cool that the War of the Worlds guy went on to have a second career as a DJ", etc. Irrevocably merged forever in my remaining shreds of brain, inseparable, sorry.

#nowplaying Phantom Spell 'Heather & Hearth' - superb and wildly eccentric new LP from the utterly mental prog/NWOBHM leaning Seven Sisters side project. My favourite album of the year *thus* far *by* far. Bandcamp link here: phantomspell.bandcamp.com/album/heathe...

Absolute banger

Happy 21st anniversary to the Dave Matthews Band poop incident en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Ma...

*taps mic* *short squeal of feedback* *clears throat* "I can't believe the Doors are on first. Jim Morrison must be fuming." *applause*

In the early 90s I was getting off a tube carriage just as Bobby Gillespie was getting on. I said, 'Oh, Bobby Gillespie'. He nodded and said 'All right?'

My commute was delayed today by a guy riding an actual penny farthing in full technical MAMIL lycra get-up. Peak Oxfordshire.

The "donuts" caption may have earned Jason Arnopp his death threat after Emperor visited the Kerrang! office in London 1993. HT Neil Sackman

NOT NOW FENRIZ

And to think people are saying Ministry’s Squirrely Years Revisited has the daftest LP cover of the year…

There is a wonderful purity to being a music fan at 16, isn't there? Certainly based on my chosen four. "THIS is brilliant, THAT is awful; THIS GENRE is my *life*, THAT GENRE is irredeemable rubbish for deluded imbeciles" & so on.

El-P vs Pigsx7 - file this one under "extremely unexpected 'worlds collide'-type collaborations", e.g. youtu.be/5ESyY3PqwpQ?...

Astonishing how much this sounds like Godflesh (this is a compliment)

Finally enjoying last year's Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album after giving up on ever finding a CD copy I can file next to the others. Love the way they include stuff like this amongst the impenetrable proggery. Like Stewart Lee, "we *can* write songs, we just choose not to". youtu.be/8I8T0xWjok4?...
