    Just listened to this, didn't recall seeing a thread for it but The Legendary Rubin Farr has made one. Nice one Rubin, Trent, Atticus and Boys Noize. In that order of importance

    I didn't think much of Mindhunter (only watched 3 episodes) but seem to be in the minority with that opinion.

    I quite like watching band documentaries if there is a good story to tell, even if the music sucks. UB40 would be a classic example. Back in the early 90's they were fucking huge (they were quite popular in the 80's) but they were selling out football stadiums in the early 90's. They get home after some huge world tour. Where's the money? There isn't any! The record industry since day one of the blues artists has been the devils work. And the cunt who runs Spotify is the latest shadowy character making deals at The Crossroads.

    Wasn't it always the case, that bands even fairly big ones made little money from record sales, even back in the day when record companies were charging £13 for a CD. Pretty sure it was, apart from maybe a few exceptions (U2 springs to mind) Pretty sure there was even a UK government enquiry into it. Wasn't it the reason why George Michael and Prince both rebelled against their record companies because they made hardly any money from record sales because of the original contracts they signed as youngsters? I remember Don Henley saying he made a few thousand dollars from one of his biggest multi million selling solo hits because David Geffen personally screwed him over on some contract technicality. I think sometimes people are looking back with rose tinted glasses and think that everyone back in the day before streaming made a mint by being in fairly well known band. What I'm saying is that it's mostly been the case that musicians have been ripped off by the music industry. Spotify isn't new in that respect. I haven't read this thread in its entirely so maybe there is something I'm missing, but just thinking out loud really.

    Thought this was very average. Didn't do much for me at all. Bit too 'disco' if you get my drift. Double Standard was okay when the drums go fast. Hmmm not usually disappointed with Skee Mask, probably fine on the dance floor though. Not for me.

    This thread is pretty fucking trippy...

    Lot of people I know have watched this and its supposed to be fucking terrible, especially that gimp Connor MacGregor (or whatever his name is)

    Do you mean a vat of LSD or a vat of Hydrochloric Acid?

    I haven't listened to Random 35 Tracks Tape as much as I should have. Maybe only half a dozen times. Criminal isn't it. I think you gotta be in a certain mood for it, if I remember it's really down tempo? Will listen this week.

    Funny, I'm not really into studios and all the gear as I don't make music but I'd be champing at the bit if I could take a peak into Aphexs and BOC studios. Bet it's absolutely fascinating. God knows how excited some of you lot would be!

    I have a question for you wise folks. I have about 8 old fashioned photo books where the photos were stuck onto glued pages, then a transparent film place over the top. These old books are falling apart (even though they rarely move) and shockingly as I have just discovered the adhesive is beginning to deteriorate the colour of the photos. I really need to fix these old albums for good and stop any more deterioration, so is it possible to give them to a professional who will be able to recreate each album by digitally scanning the photos in high quality and then reproducing them in book form?

    To be honest this would be a good post just to end this thread and now just wait until it drops. So mods can delete my post if they wish. It's fine by me.
  14. beerwolf
    Yeah it's a classic! It doesn't let up all the way to the final episode. Enjoy!

    Lol it's nothing! Just arguing about JK Rowling. Bummer.

    Just gone onto Twoism and the new album speculation thread has leapt from page 1141, to page 1144! So without even reading it my spidery senses tell me something is afoot. Let's find out what it could be....

    Yeah I remember the Psalm 69 era and some depraved articles in Kerrang! Pretty sure they were holed up in some sordid, drug fuelled compound somewhere in Texas and they got raided by the DEA and AFT. Something akin to Waco, but without the bible as a guide but rather 120 Days Of Sodom.

    I've always been apolitical, but because of Blair and his illegal war in Iraq (I see him as a war criminal) I have never trusted Labour. But as I see it now, I cannot imagine the hell we will endure with more Tory power. I fucking hate politics. And politicians. Probably time for a revolution. I'd be there. But I need someone to start it.

    It certainly is mate. I never thought I would think that, but it's true. Roads are fucked, NHS fucked, trains don't run, police are a bunch of racist, killers and rapists, can't see a GP, rivers are pure sewage, apparently we can't fight a war if under threat, the postal service doesn't exist anymore, the bins don't get emptied every week so everyone is dumping their garbage on the streets, the councils are skint. I reckon the list is endless to be honest.

    Got home 7pm. Not happy bunny A once great company to work for has slowly dissolved into pure shit. Just like our rivers have now dissolved into pure shit. The reason why? Just like the water companies. Privatisation and maximum profit and the lust of sucking shareholders cocks. While behind the scenes the once very good service quielty impodes. Trust me I've had a week of carnage to deal with. And this is the icing on the cake. But it's not the end of the world. I don't live in Gaza. I'm back home with a cold beer and a full belly. I'll see OPN some other time. No frets. Lol. Look at the state of the fucking van! It's about 40 years old. It has wind up windows, a radio that only tunes into LBC, and is falling apart from the inside out. Like a fucking tractor from WW2. All our fleet from my depot are like that. The money and false economy of polishing these turds over the last few years (take it off the road, call out RAC, send it to the garage, buy spare parts, pay an engineer to fix it, repeat, repeat, repeat) Hey FUCKFACE, wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a new van? As one day you will have to buy one. NO WE MUST PAY THE SHAREHOLDERS LOTS OF MONEY, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!! Maybe they won't. Maybe in the year 2035 I will still be driving it? This heap of absolute astronomical shit! I need a beer. Have a nice evening .

    Miles away from home. Miles away from even thinking about then getting into London. Van door fell off lol. No OPN for me this evening. Should of been home for 3pm and I'm still stuck by the roadside at 5.30pm.

    Onto 3rd season of Bates Motel. Clever idea with this is that his tearaway brother is involved in drug dealing and growing cannabis (and is done really well), which gives the show a whole different trajectory to enjoy. If it was just about Norman going slowly insane then it wouldn't have much traction. His mum is acted brilliantly by Vera Farmiga, who I wasn't really aware of. She's fantastic.

    Apparently there is a to and fro between Skee Mask and one of the top bods at Spotify on X, where the Spotify dude who probably is a fan, has asked him to put up his music back up on the platform (with a 'please') and Skee refusing. The conversation being that over the years Spotify will pay him much more than Bandcamp as Spotify drip feeds money rather than the single payment of BC. Can I please stress the phrase 'don't shoot the messenger' Just letting you know if you're interested.
