I used to write about music in Terrorizer (UK) and Extreme Noise (Oz), but that was a long time ago. Now I guess I'm just an amateur opinion-haver. Metal, drone, minimalism, maximalism, bit of industrial, etc.
Simply cannot mentally separate Jeff Mills and Jeff Wayne in my mind. "Oh it's cool that the War of the Worlds guy went on to have a second career as a DJ", etc. Irrevocably merged forever in my remaining shreds of brain, inseparable, sorry.
Jeff Mills
Live at Liquid Room
Jeff’s legendary template for high-velocity DJing, shelling 38 tracks in 67 minutes broken by daring fade outs, riding the pitch, even turning the power off = genius, un-quantised tension & funk

#nowplaying Phantom Spell 'Heather & Hearth' - superb and wildly eccentric new LP from the utterly mental prog/NWOBHM leaning Seven Sisters side project. My favourite album of the year *thus* far *by* far.

Dave Matthews Band's tour bus stopping at the Kinzie Street Bridge to empty its blackwater tank
On August 8, 2004, a tour bus belonging to Dave Matthews Band dumped an estimated 800 pounds (360 kg) of human waste from the bus's blackwater tank through the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago onto
an open-top passenger sightseeing boat sailing in the Chicago River below. The incident became popularly known as the Dave Matthews Band incident! or Poopgate. 2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreigwhbrn7bdigpucytnanfs3fcaq2ffcwjmpr3vymuambpecibmk2y@jpeg)

In the early 90s I was getting off a tube carriage just as Bobby Gillespie was getting on. I said, 'Oh, Bobby Gillespie'. He nodded and said 'All right?'
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

My commute was delayed today by a guy riding an actual penny farthing in full technical MAMIL lycra get-up. Peak Oxfordshire.

There is a wonderful purity to being a music fan at 16, isn't there? Certainly based on my chosen four. "THIS is brilliant, THAT is awful; THIS GENRE is my *life*, THAT GENRE is irredeemable rubbish for deluded imbeciles" & so on.

Finally enjoying last year's Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album after giving up on ever finding a CD copy I can file next to the others. Love the way they include stuff like this amongst the impenetrable proggery. Like Stewart Lee, "we *can* write songs, we just choose not to". youtu.be/8I8T0xWjok4?...
