Happy @bandcamp.com Friday!

I'm excited to announce that a new Dirty Knobs album is on the way, releasing this Halloween. SCORCHER is something of a return to the early days of DK, back when it was more of an experimental glitch project.

Why do seemingly well-intentioned people keep using Substack?

in 2011 a writer posted a tweet about my new album and for the next six months people around the world were talking about it (and a few people bought it.)

Do people generally feel super attached to having taken AP English in high school or does that just seem overrepresented whenever there’s a lot of Taylor Swift in the air?

Smirnoff ad from 1972, featuring a recipe for the Vampire Gimlet. Which is just a Vodka Gimlet with a black olive added. I don't drink, but as an eater of olives and a child of darkness, I still fully endorse this.

"'This is amazing!' Ashcroft tries to convince himself (and his listeners) on the chorus, inadvertently evoking the misguided musical enthusiasms of Jez Usbourne and Super Hans. It’s less yacht to Ibiza than a leaky peddle boat ride in Battersea Park."

oh boy! here are my faves.

poster, solid bright orange background, with a few thin black and white vertical and horizontal lines, with bold all-caps lettering reading "YOU ARE REQUESTED TO ENSURE THAT, AT THE END OF YOUR MEETING, NO DOCUMENTS, CLASSIFIES OR OTHERWISE, ARE LEFT IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM." also, in smaller white all-caps serif lettering "THANK YOU - SECURITY SERVICE." there are also two very small minimally illustrated eyes in the center. (all text is repeated in french)

black text on a white background reads "the threat from outside exists!" with exists! in a much larger size. below that is a inset rectangle with an abstract illustration in muted cool colors showing small silhouetted figures standing on a pile of rocks looking and pointing at a very large sphere covered in small black squares giving it an otherworldly 3D appearance.

a solid dark red background with a simple white illustration placed in the lower left showing the outline of the heads and shoulders of a large group of men looking forward at a wide doorway where another man faces them with no discernible expression. the words "Are you taking the warning seriously?" are set in a white serif font in the lower right corner.

six abstract, elongated, paper-doll like human figures, each a different solid color, seem to be holding hands, encircling an outlines cube with a scrolled sheet of paper with a sketchy filled in circle. on the black background, at the top are the words "the aim of security!" in a very 70s san serif, rounded font. the all cap word "PROTECTION" is at the very bottom, repeated four times from dark red to pink, as if it is flying toward the viewer.

"Let’s be honest for at least a sentence. The first single ‘Lover’ couldn’t be any more dogshit if it had been squeezed from the lampshade-wide and bright crimson sphincter of Clifford himself."

"Oasis are back from the dead. They’ve resurrected their old support act... History repeats itself; first as tragedy and second as farce. Big pungent farce, of the strength Jim Royle would expel after a particularly sprouty Xmas dinner." @spinal-bap.bsky.social 💯👞🥧
