Mock YouTube thumbnail. B&W image of Charles Mingus smiling, overlaid with the words WOW!! THIS S**T WILD! In the top left corner is the text "Mingus hears Korn MTV Unplugged FOR THE FIRST TIME!" and the cover of said album.

Walton Goggins shilling for AI. Wtf is wrong with these people? Boyd Crowder would never. Well he’d be the one running the scam, anyway.

The "Reception" section of a wiki page really captures in amber a particular brand of brainless, tossed-off music criticism. "Robert Trewthers of Cock Magazine opined 'these rock-em-sock-em mamas are onto a surefire hit with their latest thrash metal dramaramadingdong'" and it's like a Donnas album.

Yes, it's the only one of these I've read before, but that was a while ago. Keen to give it another read, and maybe seek out the film after.

Nice one, thanks!

Ha yes I've got one of those somewhere.

Well, if it’s 10 October, it’s... YES, THAT’S RIGHT: the 50th anniversary of the time AC/DC singer Bon Scott got a singer from another Aussie band to drink his piss. Out of a roast turkey

AC/DC perform at the Australian King of Pop awards, 1975

I didn't buy this but I can go back if anyone wants it. I suspect it will still be there.

Cheapie biography called The Real Seinfeld "as told by the real Costanza" Mike Costanza with Greg Lawrence. Cover image is a not great photo of Seinfeld's face looking deranged/coked.

Daydreaming about a website that was like bluesky but it was run by Discogs. Lots of sexy record pics, hot tips on Russian bootleg reissues of classic Brazilian LP's, and no politics. Would sign up if it existed.

The scene where Sara is explaining the witch situation to Suzy in their dorm and when she says "witch" the lighting in the film just goes pitch black for a few seconds. Martin Scorsese

Well I probably should read one of the László Krasznahorkai books I own. I have only read this novella:

Spadework for a Palace by László Krasznahorkai | New Directions

WINNER OF THE 2025 NOBEL PRIZE Spadework for a Palace bears the subtitle “Entering the Madness of Others” and offers an epigraph: “Reality is no obstacle.” Indeed. This high-octane obsessive rant v...

I actually remember when I first realised that Swansea wasn’t pronounced like it looks, and being grateful I hadn’t had cause to say it aloud.

You know how to say Melbourne don’t you? You just put your lips together and not move your lips at all.

Tim Howard @tmhwrd.bsky.social · 2d

Visitors, especially Americans, give Melbourne the full “Mel-born” when it’s actually “Melb’n”.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

One of the conspirators who helped Gavrilo Princip shoot Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived to see the breakup of Yugoslavia. He could conceivably have watched the Neighbours episode where Scott and Charlene got married

Fellas, remember when women were shaped like *real* women (rectangular)

A scene in the movie From Beyond. Barbara Crampton is shown flanked by two male co-stars. She is wearing a white blouse and some extreme 80s shoulder pads.
