Couscous proper is about 2 mm in diameter, but there also exists a larger variety (3 mm more) known as berkoukes, as well as an ultra-fine version (around 1 mm).

A song described by Jon Spencer as akin to listening to Hawkwind in a wind tunnel. Hes not wrong.

As I'm nice and there's some new stuff on the horizon, I've reduced the full discography on Bandcamp down 80% to just £20 for the next few days. So get 20 years(!) worth of stuff for £20. Bargain! worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com

i was discussing the with Mr P. Only the other day - there’s a HMHB song for pretty much every day I suspect - though this is an excellent one!

General-purpose can openers first appeared in the 1850s and had a primitive claw-shaped or "lever-type" design. In 1855, Robert Yeates, devised the first claw-ended can opener with a hand-operated tool that haggled its way around the top of metal cans.

St Mars of the Desert: an oasis in the industrial hinterlands
Brewery taprooms often feel in conflict with their industrial surroundings, but few so much as The Brewery of St Mars of the Desert (SMOD).

We’ve still got all our Babes In Toyland albums - that must be a good sign.

It’s surprisingly hard to find a decent picture of the Coliseum in a non-derelict state. A pretty important venue for those of us in the remote West-country.

More importantly (on a purely personal level) 32 years, 4 months and 21 days since my first date/gig with @viks0110.bsky.social.

The Bradford gig was ‘93 - think I/we had already seen them at the Duchess once (or twice) by this point. Bradford was indeed TW in support. Tsetse Fly at one of the Duchess gigs. Was there also a Leeds Poly gig?

I have a soft spot for this tune, as it was something of a favourite pick on the long lost Red Cow in Exeter’s juke box.

From their debut (and best) album, Hospice, about someone dying of bone cancer. From the ‘00s when I was reading way too much Pitchfork. They gave it 8.5 obviously. 🙄
