I love this new music/dentistry crossover.

A friend recently desribed PRS guitars as ‘dentist’s guitars’.

The thing about ID cards is: I dont need to be more accountable to the state, the state needs to be more accountable to me.
So in the spirit of transparency, offerty fuck Sir Kier.

I love the idea that Gwar have finally gone too far

Gwar respond to right-wing outrage over @riotfest.bsky.social performance

Gwar Respond To Right-Wing Outrage Over Riot Fest Performance

Nobody is safe from Gwar. For decades, the costumed thrash metal collective has imbued their live shows with comically over-the-top acts of mock violence against right-wing political figures like Rona...

People are asking if AI was used in the making of the Cardiacs record.

Honestly, these guys can hardly tell the fucking time.

I know nothing about this. I’m sure you can order from the Cardiacs webstore.

I talked to Kavus and Craig and Jim and wrote this thing for the i about the new Cardiacs album. It’s not the headline I would have chosen but the piece explains everything ♥️

Cardiacs: 'If Tim hadn't died, this album would have been impossible to finish'

The death of its leading light Tim Smith left his band with a mission: to complete the songs created during his illness without him - and release a new album

Dunno really, hard to navigate as that would essentially mean there’s 2 versions of Cardiacs.

The sprawling double LP ‘LSD’ - some 18 years in the making - is finally released September 19th.

All songs written by Tim Smith.

I hope you like it.

Boy, was this a hard secret to keep.

Yes, I am now the lead singer in Cardiacs.

I don’t have the words to properly do justice to what all this means.

But if you know anything about me, then you know what an honour this is.

First single ‘Woodeneye’ is out now.

I can’t believe the incredibly popular band only played their big popular hits at the big pop festival, rather than the 20 year old songs which most people have never heard

…20 years. Same shit.
