I’m just happy for you that people are writing in again. The thought of you two sitting there with empty sacks is sad/horrifying.

Okay we got "Steamroller Blues" by James Taylor and "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. Are there any other songs where the writer compares their sexual technique to construction equipment? I wanna make a playlist
February 10, 2026 at 5:41 PM
T.N.T by AC/DC probably qualifies. They’re always comparing their sexual technique to something.

They’re very small for monitor lizards, about 30cm. Act like they’re komodo dragons though.

These are my pygmy mulgar monitor lizards, technically goannas. So, thanks to @impq.bsky.social I can name one of the females Goanna Kendrick

We have an excellent looking mailbag this week and your Adrian Smith top 10 song lists are brilliant. We’re recording on Thursday, so you still have 2 days to get yours in. Anyway, here’s a photo of Adrian being silly.

This, from @joshgondelman.bsky.social. So much this.

Gambling should be like tobacco use: legal, heavily regulated, hard to access, with zero advertising and a ton of social stigma.

Can anyone get this to Ian Knebworth?
HEY!!! Who knows anyone connected at all to Iron Maiden’s Knebworth date? We really want to do a pub quiz at Eddie’s Dive Bar. Can you help? Pass us on to anyone? Please repost this and reach out to any Maiden contacts you have, whether they’re fans, gig promoters, metal journos or bass players.

Unlike those cowardly englishmen iron maiden, Blaze Bayley is playing Belfast today and I’ve never felt so emotionally invested in a gig I’m not at before.
Good morning! I’m going to listen to Silicon Messiah for the first time, but I can’t be bothered pressing play. So instead, I’ll just pop over to Belfast and ask Blaze to perform it all for me.

Have a lovely time, welcome to the cult.
