Funkadelic - Uncle Jam Wants You 🇺🇸 (1979)

Couple of major funk bangers on Side A but man the title track opening Side B just funks so goddamn hard. Basslines to disintegrate to. Defo one of my fave P-funk albums

What an extraordinary venue to host an Opeth show. Growing up in West Yorkshire I visited the Piece Hall many times. A beautiful place and very in keeping with the period nature of The Last Will…

Love it. I have that too, but a hoodie. A prized possession.

I was just thinking about A Better Tomorrow yesterday for some reason, and where it ranks in the pantheon of cinema shootouts. Woo would have a number of contenders on that list, including The Killer ofc

Species and Violator both thrash. Demersal and Raein are both killer scramz. Infiltrator is Bolt Thrower and Drawn & Quartered is solid ass Death Metal. Autrest is just amazing atmoblack from Brazil FFO Ethereal Shroud.

"There’s a case to be made that Nux Vomica is the most ambitious crust record ever made."

It's an unsung masterpiece. Great pick/list @bandcamp.com

Demersal - Vi kunne ikke blive her for evigt, vel? 🇩🇰 (2025)

EPOTY contender, holy shit. Scramz / emoviolence that is in equal parts catchy, heartfelt and pulverising. Instabuy

You can see I went all in for hip hop in the mid-to-late-90s, which is fine, it was a golden era
