The internal phone at my hospital used to play an instrumental version of Knocking on Heavens Door when you were put on hold. My Shits Fucked Up by Warren Zevon would be even less appropriate

That’ll be 2023. This year he’s filming the big screen remake of Bless This House. No prosthetics!

The ad appears on the front page when you switch on and goes away when you go to the actual book. Nothing then interrupts the reading. It’s not like the YouTube experience.

Check out the Peanuts version of Rush’s ‘subdivisions’ – it’s much much better than the official video. Schroeder doing the opening synth notes makes the neck hairs prickle.

Fantastic – are you Arsalan Mohammad? I’ve loved this series. Stuart Maconie really does give excellent value for money on the Diamond Dogs episodes.

Alcohol is a drug. So she’s either drinking a coffee she suspects has been spiked with booze, or a glass of booze she suspects has been spiked with a mickey finn. Either way she’s suddenly realised she’s getting woozy.

Not sure it’s grounds for a ban, but the song is a little bit rapey.. the gentleman singing the song drugs the lady’s drink…

Playing live they used to swing out over the audience on ropes and crap on their heads. Then roll around on the stage covered in oil. Fact.s.

Abandoned King during his booze and coke days – was ‘It’ one of his out-of-it books? – That was good apart from the absurd kiddie orgy at the end. And his sober novels didn’t get any better (god, Lisey’s Story is […]

I was enjoying it until the last episode when the familiar TV trope of supposedly clever people doing stupid things was used to advance the plot. (yes, I’m including you here, Sherlock). Yvonne really had no […]

evilspock commented on the post, Bowie Again. Young Americans LP the anomaly in the canon ? 8 years, 2 months ago
I would broadly agree, but I’ve been giving it another listen in this, my ‘100% of all musical needs catered for by Bowie’ phase. The singing on it is superb, prime Bowie at the height of his vocal powers. Every […]

Assad’s still a chinless bastard though. […]

evilspock commented on the post, Syria – Assad 8 years, 2 months ago
true, but the reported emptying of the jails occurred during the hopeful bit of the Arab Spring when (unless you’re particularly conspiracy minded) the west was pretty much observing rather than wanting to get stuck in.

evilspock commented on the post, Syria – Assad 8 years, 2 months ago
Assad actually freed all the Islamists in Syria’s jails. The Islamification of the opposition was created on purpose. And to think – Russia could stop the war, and the refugee crisis, like, this minute. But they […]
