Here I am, in a dark room waiting for the boy to fall asleep (HAVEN'T HAD MY FUCKING TEA YET THANKS) and trying to stifle not one, but multiple snorks. Fine show 👌

I suspect Dave Chappelle has $70m *precisely* because Dave Chappelle does things for the money 🤷

Totally get what the review means about The Garden. Although for me it works (might help that I saw them do it live a few weeks ago). But whatever else, can we all bow down to that riff?! So simple, so great

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

Finally saw Blood Incantation. Fucking awesome. Leapt right up inside the Stargate and think a part of my frazzled brain is still in there, rattling about

A madman and a coward, who may well be flexing to prove something to himself/the world

On the first point: it feels like a weight being lifted the day you realise, and are ok with, the fact *not everything is for you*

I'm doing Couch to 5K (physio's orders) in attempt to sort out my knee. Running's shit isn't it? Can't believe anyone actually enjoys it. Absolute rubbish.

Piddle-dicked bumblefucks out there harassing people and not even daring to show their faces. Their mothers must be so proud.

Differently to somebody who's vaguely competent at it?

Are they going to make themselves a single-issue party?

Anyone involved with this needs their hard drives checking. Because you know they're making up for some seriously dark shit!

Pretty irresponsible of both @agriculturemusic.bsky.social and @theflenser.bsky.social to finish music with this one, but what's done is done 🤷

batsfordio.bsky.social @batsfordio.bsky.social · 3d

It is, somehow, miles better than I'd expected it to be. And I expected it to be incredible. The production is also 👌 The crunch of that riff in My Garden 🥰

It's kind of funny, for lots of reasons, not least the desperation of sucking up to the type of person who would happily see people who look like her drown in the sea. But it's also TOTALLY NOT FUCKING FUNNY AT ALL.
