Tories don't deserve art.
It's definitely them.

That's the one.

Marc Riley did an excellent online show many years back. Only 4 episodes I think, and it's hard to find now on YouTube, but at the time it felt like an anti-Later. But yes, even then not on terrestrial.

"The Part Chimp of nu metal". I let out a delighted "ha!" at that one.

Sure, that's true for some people, but there's 600-odd folk in a festival WhatsApp group I'm in who're mostly nonstop gig-going, and don't seem to give a toss about spunking loads on stadium gigs.
Pretty sure they won't be at Wank Army tho, I'll give you that.

I still roll out the Radiohead line from your book occasionally, and more often than not get a blank stare in response. Kind of mind-blowing how many folk seem happy to remortgage their houses to go to a gig.

Indeed. I found it somewhat unsettling TBH, but in an enjoyable way.

Unfortunately, the kind of dingbats who already thought he was some kind of genius satirical free speech champion won't change their minds because of this. And the rest of us could already see what he was. Nothing changes (except his wallet getting stuffed with riyals).

Isn't this modernist? Which I guess could incorporate brutalist elements of course...

And this is why I would never trust anyone wearing a bucket hat.

Isn't there some deal where when you age it, it goes through waves of being "better" or "worse", subjective as those terms are? 🤔
September 12, 2025 at 6:19 PM
Ha!

Why is this a 'fess? You got caught. Had to buy him a new hat. Surely the point of fesshole is for deeds that went undedected?

If you're going to make something up, at least make it semi-believable. Or, at least try to make it funny. One or the other. Jesus.

It is much madder, it's true. However, I'm not sure I've ever heard Brian make a noise quite as bizarre, and pathetic, as Bon's "iiiiiieeeeeuuuugghhh" right at the end of Shot Down In Flames.

Indeed. We went to Spielberg the first time it went back there, staying in Graz. It rained the whole way from the German border to our hotel ☹️
But other than the top of Grossglockner, we actually had decent weather riding around the Alps and lakes the following week.

Done it twice, and both times it was not overrun with traffic. It did rain both times though...

I was on a stag do in Bristol and somehow got back to my room, got undressed and went to bed without slotting the card in. And then waking up at whatever-the-fuck time it was in the night to stagger around a pitch black room, trying to find the equally dark bathroom before I pissed myself. #skills

@marcrileydj.bsky.social oft refers to them as "the greatest live band in the world"; I've yet to find any reason to disagree.

Fear not. The spirit of Dwyer shall keep you warm on your homeward trek.
June 24, 2025 at 4:49 PM
Ugh. Yeah, that too.
May 24, 2025 at 7:56 PM
Yep. I've been to every British GP for over 2 decades, and this weekend is by far the worst experience. I'm sure we'll come again, but just for Sunday with our own food & drink. Not sure I'd ever do a full weekend again.
