The Japanese are the real thieves of time

What with their more-addictive-than-crack puzzle games, and all . . .

DO NOT TOUCH THIS GAME.

Icky Thump by the White Stripes

Remarkably, it’s even worse than I thought it could possibly be.

Click if you dare.

Attention anyone who thinks this is remotely good: go and buy They Were Wrong, So We Drowned by The Liars.

More on this later . . .

Cunt Corner – Episode 2 – Richard Littlejohn

Remarkably, only the UK’s second most hated newspaper writer (Kelvin MacKenzie will forever hold that title), but undoubtably one of the biggest cunts walking the face of the earth today.

This was his particularly well adjusted response to the Ipswich prostitute killings.  We shall all rejoice when he finally dies.  Hopefully in a horrible chemical fire.

Actually, lets have a proper post while I’m online

You know, I really don’t like to come across as a musical snob – partly because it would make me a massive hypocrite, but mainly because I invest so much of myself into writing music that it would pain me for other people to casually disregard what I do as “pop nonsense”.

BUT

The following is a list of musical things that have offended me beyond belief this year:

Survivalism by Nine Inch Nails. Just shocking. (if anything, I went easy the last time I got started on it)

Ruby by The Kaiser Chiefs. Rarely has a song so astonishingly bad annoyed me to such an extent. It’s not like the anger of the sheer rubbishness of Survivalism, it’s more like the sort of annoyance of a bluebottle repeatedly flying past your ears causing a pseudo phasing effect. (remarkably, I think the new one, the ironically titled “Everything Is Average Nowadays”, is actually quite good)

Underdogs by the Manic Street Preachers. What is more embarrasing – this song, or the continued denial of their fanbase that the band ceased to be remotely relevant over ten years ago?

Just Jack.

The new White Stripes record (which I haven’t even heard yet)

The fact that The Automatic aren’t dead yet.

Survivalism by Nine Inch Nails. Again.

Thank fuck, then, for Grinderman.

I’m not letting this blog slip . . .

. . . but I am sickeningly busy!

Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines

Beg, steal or borrow if you have to – but go to these shows.

If a picture says a thousand words, then this says . . . er . . . a lot of words too.

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

Did you see Lost/Desperate Housewives/Ugly Betty/The Sopranos?

No, I didn’t.

Handy rule of thumb to remember – if it’s American, and on Channel 4, I probably don’t watch it.
