  1. https://andrewliles.bandcamp.com/track/sinead-dead-in-a-ditch
  2. Not at home but will rinse tonight, Bronchial mixes are always fun *wink*
  3. Fortean Times was a teenage obsession, bit like Fangoria, but it had James Randi debunking the slew of bs. Bloke was funny as fuck too, really dry & dismissive. Given Kwaidan is one of my fave filems, feel a bit wary here, or is that the point mwuahaaaa
  4. hardcore kinda pre-figured jungle, if you listen to enough of these mixes over the years directly or indirectly through your younger brothers & their mates in statutory Subaru pulling outside the house, the signatures shift/maintain - breaks, high bpm half-step, mc's but less "shouts to Dave from Dewsbury", more focus on production, wobble b-lines, re-e-winds n cut-paste mixing, gerbils here n there, pianos - check. Never really my groove, but it is its own unique world of madness & listening to old mixes is always a craic
  5. The Jim O'Rourke & Christoph Charles tracks are the aces in the pack, well worth gripping for those
  6. DiY's Digs aka Grace Sands @ Pride, always good times for letting the music flow, "expect the unexpected" https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/aptgracesands290619
  7. the pregnancy/oral/ET, lord have mercy lol
  8. Prepping like a Merkin militia member. Cellar is stocked: tinned peaches, tinned mackerel & herring (hope this don't go the same way as The Terror), bags of flour, rain water filtration tank, cycle powered generator + various batteries, satellite internet, jarred shrubberies (fk this going down unstoned), Gramp's WWII shotgun cleaned & maintained, perimeter wall claymores & inner perimeter motion sensor alert set to Golden Girls segue theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JZ3LCa-sLI
  9. Such a mint tune, although the 2004-era live gig curtains reminded me of
  10. the whole sorry mess is like a RAW gag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mindfuck
  11. Lesh, Bob Weird, Hart & Kreutzmann. How they ever let John Mayer nr Garcia’s guitars is a travesty. Robert Hunter rarely gets mentioned in the pantheon of musical lyricists, seems the focus is overshadowed by all the side trips re-Deadheads/counter-culture/lsd & it’s very easy to sneer at w/hindsight. My favourite band by some margin for musicality & Robert Hunter’s use of language is the cherry on top.
  12. If I ever saw Mickey Finn in a line-up, had to have a nose round said hardcore tent/room, for the casualties, the 10 e’s crew, climbing the walls, sun hats, the stray wanderers, shenanigans in dark recesses, the lost, the found & the holy mc rollers, MickeyFinnMickeyFinnMickeyFinn
  13. Forgot https://www.discogs.com/Various-Statics/release/201807
  14. This works wonders dog walking in the bastard rain. From another direction, some dark ambient from Psychic TV affiliates Sigillum S that floats across the dronescapes Their Bardo Thos-Grol lp has sections that get deeep drone...pretentious, fun, pointless, nod-heavy moments of genius, double-up on in mixes. That’s kind of why drone mixes can be so much of a blast to fk around with, you have so many options with layering, harmonics, how that shapes transitions/blends, no tyranny of the beat apart from the textures themselves & even that isn’t necessarily relevant, maaaaaan.
  15. Cyprus Avenue. Not really a doc or a tv series, but this seemed a semi-appropriate home as the BBC pulled its finger out for once. Monstrous, hilarious, grotesque, sad as fk, skewers identity & the so-called Troubles (it was a war ffs), if you can access or dload else where well worth the time & effort. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0008k8d/cyprus-avenue
  16. <—— dares male online daters to use a Dominic Cummings pic as their av so bald, so slight/sleight, so salty & always cumming
  17. Hadn’t read this post, my own post must’ve hit a nerve. How about we decide this bs over a race up Pen Y Fan. I’m mostly titanium from the pelvis down so you have a theoretical head start, but the proviso is you have to drink booze on your way up & I have to munch an edible? It’s called the Fan Dance. Just down the M4, you could be here inside 2 hours.
  18. The Vernacular Surface release has this info: There seem to be a few different vinyl/cd versions (to name but a few): https://www.discogs.com/Nurse-With-Wound-Salt-Marie-Celeste/release/341936 https://www.discogs.com/Nurse-With-Wound-Salt-Music-From-The-Horse-Hospital/release/2958496 https://www.discogs.com/The-Hafler-Trio-Cleave-9-Great-Openings/release/219354
  19. Nowt personal, but you’d be wise to look at this again. If you move from beer to spirits & think being a sommelier is a fun pursuit, it’s your subconscious speaking, rationalising the intake of alcohol by integrating it into your life as a career choice. Not a criticism, more a heads up from an ex-sommelier *wink*, if you know what works for you with the shrubbery, cool n the gang, but booze can be an insidious companion like Iago.
  20. A soft Brrr-hex-it would surely be better than a no deal exit, if you're looking at how these "policies" might impact on people, social care & the NHS, the economy/supply chains, Eire, the Irish border & the more intransigent strains of politics in the 6-counties, surely. That aside, Labour have been appalling every step of this path. No strategy, Tories imploded multiple times & they still couldn't get ahead, none of their top brass has had the ruthlessness or (let's face it) foresight to et tu Brute Corbyn. Corbyn = public school Marxist = ultimate hypocrite worth a few million with his own door-step in London = 1%. Starmer seemed a possible option, but a credible policy brain doesn't infer leadership skills. Labour aren't fit for govt currently & unless Corby goes it'll stay that way. Public don't trust him, nor should they. Bloke is a melt.
  21. if this thing had a personified form, it'd be summat like the whole thing is a benchmark reason for staying away from the news for as much as is practically possible, but, it, draws, you, in, like, grotesque, dolls
