there's lots of great stuff since 2010 even as someone who has drifted away from music a little bit

let's start nice and obvious with imho the best accessible guitar album of the period

Here's the last ten films I watched in a single sentence.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - Ford's last great western and his most pessimistic features Jimmy Stewart as a 53 year old fresh graduate and John Wayne as a bit of a fake hardman. 8/10

On the Run aka Cavale - 2002 Franco-Belgian riff ...

I have to say I didn't really gel with Hamnet .

I'm a big Shakespeare fan and have seen many different versions of Hamlet either on film or in the theatre.

Am also no stranger to adaptations such as Lubitsch in To Be or Not to Be or The Lion King or Sons of Anarchy . I think it's a really ...

and yet he's called Mr. Nice!

actually Keir Hardie once said Labour owes more to Methodism than Marx so maybe I have changed a bit

obviously a bit more enlightened around trans stuff than I once was.

I think I am weirdly kind of the same. Old Labour. Bit sniffy about progressives with their haircuts, but naturally see them as bedfellows compared to Darren in accounts who has some opinions about what really started 9/11.

Between then and now I did actually read Marx and said yeah I was thinking ...

I taught the daughter of Vernon Kay and Tess Daly.

She wasn't very bright.

I've got an even weaker one that that. I matched and online flirted with a lass for a while but we never actually got round to meeting IRL. She went on to be The Vixen from out of off of The Chase.


Oh I do actually know Jenny these days. Really nice person. Was in the Bolton music scene for ...

James here. Formally known as James. It's really nice to see some old names around here. I was once described as a 'sawn-off little pseud with anger management problems' by Goat/Procopius, which felt harsh enough at the time to be easily recalled some 15+ years later, so that means it was probably ...

I went on a date with the daughter of a cast member of The Archers.

it didn't last. I was more of a Waggoner's Walk man.

I've even seen him pop on another of my sordid internet griefholes, but I didn't know where he was or what he was doing as he has a tendency to get Sensible Blairism on me.

Where was that?

I AM BEING SILENCED BY GOVERNMENT

My mum passed in the late COVID era (not of COVID, of something worse) so my dad is alone and 200 miles away. Well, nearby brother, and his son gives my dad some daily activity as a carer.

I sometimes have to fix his computer when I journey north to find his Facebook full of rage against...Nicola ...

I presume you mean wrestling and not some deep grot off Onlyfans

hang on wait you're not from Preston? I thought they made you out of authentic dust taken from Tom Finney and Dr. Syntax.

on the same very day was the release of the most valuable record in my collection - Face of Collapse by Dazzling Killmen. That's according to Discogs, though the price has collapsed since a reissue and it's not that great tbh!

25 years today was this

I just looked to see if I could recommend anything despite not living locally and FUCK ME HOW MANY TRIBUTE ACTS CAN ONE CITY STAND?

The Monochrome Set are playing the Conti in October. That's about it.

The B stands for bargain, etc

Fil is doing stand up quite publicly so that's probably fine to share. Seems to be getting some level of success with it.


Oh yeah I found out about this recently. He's a hard worker is Fil. His stand-up isn't to my taste but personal taste is boring isn't it. Just gotta get out there and do ...

Documentary
'Secret Mall Apartment'

Apparently this is available on US Netflix, but we've just watched it on Plex.

So, a group of young artists in Rhode Island found a weird, unused space within an enormous new shopping Mall. Being part of a community that were involved in giving dead spaces new ...

Picture the scene: it's 2006. You've just been involved in a consensual fingering at Beats of Rage. You get home and log onto Prestone and there's a political thread. You join in.

BAM! It's not 2006 anymore. It's 2026. You are an old husk, a desiccated parody of the beauty lost in the magic of ...

We need that lad back, by the way. The forum needs a banner image.

As shameful as this is to admit, I forgot about Shad
