ganglesprocket commented on the post, What 5 albums have you listened to most in your life? Be honest, not trendy. 5 days, 6 hours ago

Hard question this but I suspect:
– Pet Sounds – Beach Boys (Practically a weekly play at least since I was 15)
– The Real Thing – Faith No More (I was SO obsessed with this in my teens)
– Music Has The Right […]
ganglesprocket commented on the post, Sympathy for the devil ET CAETERA ET CAETERA Which artist made you read a (several) book(s) and which one(s)? 1 week ago

Sadly I read the poetry of Alan Ginsberg and On The Road by Jack Kerouac because of Bob Dylan.

I also read Bukowski because of the line mentioning him in “Mellowship Slinky In B Major” by The Red Hot Chilli […]

On the 16th June 1969, Don Van Vliet, after a sustained period of mentally torturing his band mates during a period of abject poverty, released an album which, in my time, I have thought was both the best and the […]

I was in Dungeness about ten years ago and the garden was still there then for sure…

Certainly not restricted to musicians, hell Derek Jarman was at the top of my list. Just people who you think had a fuck load of stuff still to offer…

All three of them still did. Even Len. His last album was […]

Yes a morbid post but fuck it, needs must. I found myself, tonight, reading “Modern Nature” by Derek Jarman whilst listening to Kirsty MacColl. And I began to wonder who are the three people I’d resurrect from the […]

Picador in the 70s was ace. Canongate in the 90s was another. Maclehose at the moment appear to be doing very well in terms of quality if not quite sales.

Thumbs up for Barter Books from me as well, but […]

My very first Byrds “Best Of” opened with Lady Friend! And yes, it’s one of their very best songs.
ganglesprocket commented on the post, A bolter from the Blue – Rory Stewart 3 weeks, 4 days ago

Labour have a lot of talent bubbling below; Stella Creasy is at the top of my list. Hugely admirable, done a fuck load of good (payday loans), but only a backbench MP, which means sceptical about Corbyn, so […]
ganglesprocket commented on the post, Has Glastonbury run its course? 3 weeks, 5 days ago

The thing about Glastonbury is you make your own. When I used to go I’d lurk around remote rave tents and Lost Vagueness by night, and a lot of folk music by day. I remember abandoning my friends who went to see […]

I just wish nice things happen to Neil Hannon. He seems like a nice guy and is talented as fuck. These are enviable qualities which he carries off with some panache.

“Watch out Grandma here comes a lawnmower” for some reason still makes me laugh.

This video used to give me actual nightmares.

But when I was a teenager in the eighties you had to pretend to like them. Because for some reason, girls who didn’t like chart music all seemed to like them. And usually girls get this stuff right. So I decree […]

I attempted a definition of SHITE in the OP.

I am also a man who saw Napalm Death, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, Lawnmower Deth, even fucking Xentrix. I also used to have a tape of the hellish piece of shite […]

I quite like that one that goes “REPEAT AFTER ME FUCK QUEEN AND COUNTRY” because listening to it made me look all hard and dangerous.

So NOT SHITE

If Bobcat Goldthwaite from Police Academy tried to rap, it would sound like this.

VERY good shout.

TOTAL SHITE.
ganglesprocket commented on the post, THE THREAD OF SH**E! 1 month ago

You BASTARD.

This has triggered me. Too many shite holidays. Too many occasions drinking fishbowls full of some horrendous cocktail called something like “I Suck Your Cock” in Falaraki or Magaluf or similar […]

BLOODY FLAMING NORA!

That is just appalling. It’s something that 14 year olds drunk on cider for the first time would think was amazing and literally anyone else with ears would just faint with horror. But […]

The thing is, I love the Hank Snow song. And I heard some dude at the Edinburgh festival do this once but using only the names of cities in Asia. It was quite a thing to hear.

This is meh, but it’s not SHITE.
