Now spinning: "Abbey Road" by The Beatles.

I confess this cracking album by the Fab Four often gets overlooked at Corwyn Towers, in favour of "Sgt Pepper" (my favourite) or "Revolver" (their best album). But this is solid gold. Shown is the 2019 anniversary remix on picture disc.

Now spinning: "Songs For The Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age (2002).

One of the most original and best rock albums of this century, SFTD is all killer and no filler. Josh Homme takes us on a speed rock road trip across the desert from LA to Joshua Tree. No one else sounds like QotSA!

Now spinning: "Here to Destroy" by Split Dogs (2025)

A huge shot of adrenaline straight to the heart by Bristol, England-based garage/punk rockers, SPLIT DOGS. Show is the second pressing, one of the limited run of only 500 on red/black splatter vinyl.

Now spinning: "Judgment Night OST" various artists (1993)
The movie was well directed and edited, but the plot ... ugh... as one character says, "Nothing about tonight makes any sense". But the music - a series of original collaborations between rock/metal bands and hip-hop acts is fucking awesome!

Ladies & gents, I offer for your consideration the feral love child of punk, metal and rock n’ roll from Bristol, England: SPLIT DOGS, performing “AND WHAT?”

To my mind, Burns is simply the greatest documentarian America has ever produced. I shall look forward to seeing this.

Now spinning: "God Shaped Hole" by Those Damn Crows (2025).

On their most accomplished work to date, the lads from Bridgend pull out all the stops and let their natural chemistry shine via huge hooks. My fellow countrymen rock and are surely on the edge of something huge! Da iawn!!

Hmm… this Chancellor of the Exchequer lark seems like a doddle 😉

In the Guardian’s game you try your hand at designing a successful budget. Can you keep backbenchers happy without upsetting bond markets? And can you do it all while keeping the books balanced?

BEWARE OF CAPTCHA SCAM. If you are presented with a ‘Captcha’ test to prove you’re not a bot that looks like the picture below (instead of the usual “tick all the boxes with cars in”), DO NOT FILL IT IN.

I’ve loathed ECT since Med School & Psych degree & spending time with patients in a mental health facility. Often forced on vulnerable patients against their will & there’s no mechanism by which it’s supposed to work, or if a non-harmful placebo might be better.

Now spinning: "Diamond Star Halos" by Def Leppard (2022)

With its nods to the era of Glam rock - including the T-Rex referencing title - this feels very much like classic Def Lep. Huge fun.

Now spinning: various albums by ISAO TOMITA, Japanese pioneer of electronica. I’m starting with “Kosmos” (1978, a.k.a. “Space Fantasy” in some regions). I first discovered Tomita via “Bermuda Triangle” (also 1978).

Now spinning: "Bonded by Blood" by Exodus.
Time to wind down for the evening (lol) with some classic old-school Bay Area thrash - Exodus's debut album. Pictured is my original 1984 UK edition of the vinyl LP.

Now spinning: "Roar Like Thunder" by Buckcherry.
Concluding tonight's double bill of Buckcherry is this absolute fucking belter of what I guess we should call a "comeback album". Pictured is the green & purple merge vinyl LP.

Now spinning: "15 (20th Anniversary edition)" by Buckcherry. Pictured is the recent anniversary edition of this great album on luscious red vinyl. First part of tonight's double bill of Buckcherry.
