😂😂 the sheer craven idiocy of the title. Just superb. Marianne Faithful said - I think in the brilliant Bockris Richards’ bio - that ‘Tony and Bill Wyman were *disgusting*. They’d sit in a corner eating fish and chips like old men’
Probably my favourite Maiden live video as it shows- perfectly- what Steve Harris described as ‘the medieval feeling of Donnington…where you look out and it’s all *fires and that*’
In this photograph Neil Young has v.strong ‘Somerset farmer in early stage dementia who is - much to the worry of his family - ‘still driving himself about’ and tried to hit the GP’ energy.
Zack Polanski has *intensely* strong 'demented 1998 Hollyoaks story arc involving a 'cafe bar owner' who drives an SUV (playing Simply Red 'fairground') through a boutique hairdressers shouting 'CHLOE! CHLOE! CHLLLOEEE!' before being stopped by Tony the chef from turning a gun on himself' energy.
Is Faust IV the best? It's definitely up there. I tell you what though - the latest is bloody amazing. And it's called 'BLICKWINKEL' which is quite *stupendously* German.
Anyway, my most N London story is when son went to new friend's house for primary school playdate he said there was a Nobel Peace Prize for the mum framed in the bathroom and I said "haha that's because she has four kids and they're making a joke" but it turned out she'd won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The problem with eating schnitzel is that after four mouthfuls you can’t remember a time that you *weren’t* eating schnitzel. It’s like Pilgrims Progress.
Listen back to my one off Pulse Inspirations show on NTS from last week.
I could have recorded at least ten of these so it's certainly in no way definitive, but just a fun mix of some of the music and artists that have inspired the Pulse series. Hope you enjoy it!
In this photograph George Michael looks like he’s guesting as a cartel member (‘chico’) from a middling 1999 Roger Avary film (executive producers Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez) called ‘FAVELA DOMENTICO’ or something
I sort of enjoyed this article, apart from the fact the Guardian itself three times a week runs an article that's like "I shouted at a waiter, and realised for years my true self had been suppressed"
‘Kelman has voting rights’ ‘Kelman does *not* have voting rights. Kelman took a vow of silence in 1998. Kelman grew his fucking nails like Fu Manchu! Kelman sleeps naked on a fucking Yogic bed of sharpened reeds in the middle of nowhere’ ‘I’m telling you: if he turns up we are *screwed*’ etc
Thom Yorke there, looking like a long lost eccentric cousin in Succession S2 who everyone thought had disappeared ‘in 1998 in India’ and is now- via some fiendishly complex loophole- about to *totally screw* everyone before silently going back to India.
I reckon he'll fill the O2 (just checked and it only has 20 000 capacity. Actually feels way bigger than that though, doesn't it? When it's rammed it feels pretty much like a stadium. Genuinely surprised it's only 20' 000)
