Dear writers, please do not use AI to write/help write your pitches, they arrive in my inbox absolutely honking of data centre, please please just have original ideas and work them up yourself else really, what is the fucking point of being a writer? Getting so many of these at the moment.

They’re not a band who benefit from a ‘close reading’ but there’s not one overarching joke, it’s an anarchic and relentlessly stupid metal splatter cabaret. Some/most of the music is rubbish but better than Green Jelly by dint of not featuring any members of Tool

Well sexcuse me!

Yeah I remember I had A Night At The Opera on a knackered C90 copy round the same time which I kindof liked more but Gimme The Prize and POTU hit like a ton of bricks!

Not my fave albums of all time, just the big ones c. Age 11-14 (first getting into music in earnest 1986-89) - weirdest thing to countenance now is how much my taste as a tween was inadvertently influenced by Live Aid (which I didn’t even watch)

Some Nektar maybe?

Just a call for micturation, resonating unloved amidst the digital wilderness

Sadly not or I could have stopped a great deal of future psychic horrors happening a la The Terminator

Living Colour, Cowboy Junkies, Ice-T, Strangeways Here We Come, some mad weekends round Cyndi's gaff

What with that and the Candle In The Wind debacle of three or so weeks later this was a wild time to work in high street music retail

Remember it well as I was on the tills throughout Be Here Now Thursday, with the album on an endless, tortuous seven + a half hour loop. HMV Southampton served special Oasis breakfasts. Only silver lining was sold so many copies I got free tickets to the following weekend's Reading.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Happened upon The Towering Inferno as a 5 year old and spent the next three years terrified the house was gonna burn down. Subsequent viewings have proven some of this film to be pretty strong medicine for 7.30PM

Come on. This is getting absurd. Peter Thiel looks more Doncaster by the day. Hard house promoter. 1999. Council hearing in Sheffield for the ‘night time economy’ - ‘…and id say to that have you actually heard of Tidy Trax? Because they operate like a serious business’

This is great stuff!

"Floor tom on a snare stand/reminds me baby of you"

Think I borrowed a drumkit off him for the Vortex stage a few years ago at Supernormal. Paid in beer tokens. He was very nice about it despite us losing the clutch from his hi-hat stand.

Sure man. Argue with the pope on Twitter

I'd say twelve, which are the tunes on Appetite For Destruction
