Sound-wise, this could be a B-side by The Vapors.
When he’s finished cleaning the sink, he might think about some Mr Sheen for those lyrics.

I was drawn to the blog more than the magazine, I think. Vague memories of posting on something after Tony Wilson’s death, which would have been the summer of 2007. So I guess I’ve been around, intermittently, at […]

This is wonderful @arthur-cowslip
Listened twice last night, and it set up a lovely mood for the evening. The recording itself also sounded great, and I’m impressed at how you managed to capture that rich, warm […]

This is horrible and insulting and doesn’t sit right at all. It’s almost at the Gerald Ratner level of suicidal career moves. Perhaps some retaliation is in order from his fans, a crowdsourced billboard campaign […]

As I understand it the AZ vaccine is still waiting for approval in the US and SA. Many countries outside Europe are also not using the AZ vaccine on the over 60s.
There’s been almost no reporting in the UK […]

Have an up BC. Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the English Riviera? Fake gnus.

Funnily enough, wine buffs obsess about terroir in much the same way that sound buffs obsess about their acoustic spaces.

I accept that we are forever constrained by the limited tools at our disposal – our brains – but that doesn’t mean we can’t use them to the best of our abilities. All the signs suggest that we are naked apes with […]

If we were told Fripp was guesting on Money Machine that would set the cat among the pigeons.
Strong tasting notes of Pinky & Perky tend to overwhelm my enjoyment, but I recognise the techno tropes on display […]

Your post prompted a brief diversion into the thoughts of the Greek philosopher Epicurus. I broadly embrace your sentiments although I’ve struggled to live by them myself. What if you are the kind of person that […]

I started watching it last night. I love the scope and ambition of Curtis’s work, and how he approaches his subjects from weird and unsettling angles. He creates these sprawling factual and visual landscapes that […]

It’s a fair question, but I think Botticelli has captured the essence of it. That and the aye-aye. On reflection, it’s a wonderfully complex and ambitious piece.

It’s a bit too Barclay James Harvest for my tastes. Still, it would brighten up a dull bathroom. I am fascinated by that preternatural middle finger and believe he may have used it to probe for grubs in rotting […]

I’m not sure what your point is. Britannia Unchained is an extreme vision of a neoliberal UK. I think neoliberalism on steroids is an apt description. Milne’s vision could be described as socialism on steroids. […]
