I used to work in a pub that sold coffee. Every time someone ordered a coffee I gave them a latte, no matter what they ordered. Cappuccino? Latte in a bowl cup & chocolate. Flat White? Small latte. Latte? Latte. Must have done 1,000 lattes, no one said a word..
I am available to write similar blurby bits for other good music.

Also available is the 15th album by rock pensioners Hey Colossus. We all wish they'd go back to the classic era of (checks review) 2003 but this will do for now. Come on lads, get in the Delorean!

Kaleidobolt’s rip-roaring fifth album, Karakuchi, is untethered today! I was flattered when hired to write the copy for it. #pungeant #asahisuperdry #biomechanical

It was on my mind and then I got the fear.
Trent hates his Ministry-derivative, Marilyn Manson-enabling NIN. He doesn’t like most of his own albums. He’s tried to kill off the project before. The cash cow keeps drawing him back for one more job. He hints at the end, so he can charge more $$$ the next time round.
Hands-up who’s watched South Park. No one? Oh.
That sounds delicious!

Looks great. Pizza should be anything goes, within reason.*
*Mostly savoury. Things like pineapple, sweet peppers, caramelised onion, etc. are fine.
Just don’t chuck on Haribo or whatever and it’s all good. 👌
“grunge” 🛸
Godflesh? Au Pairs? That geezer from The Streets?
I’m certainly enjoying it. Read many books about The Fall. Only just got round to this one. I believe it was out of print for a bit.
Happy World Book Day!

It’s not my fault! 😭

Never thought I'd see the day. For what it's worth, I like it. It's got spunk.
Ha. Was it, by any chance, well boring? Saw them later, on their “final tour”, and it was actually quite lighthearted and entertaining. 👇

Billy Corgan was doing the CIA’s bidding in 1998. Pass it on.
Is that why you released the intolerably long, feeble and non-rockin’ Adore in the late 90s? Because of the CIA? The government? Should we blame the rappers, Billy? Who should be held accountable, Billy? Billy. Billy. Billy?! BILLMEH.

It's 35 years today since Gainsbourg died, which is a long time if you're young and not so long if you're not. That also means my book must be five years old which feels like last week when you get to my age. Anyway, just to say, it's still out there hanging just outside the Ethnomusicology Hot 100
Resigned my job to write a book reviewing pork pies. I was 2 months into my research when I realised that no-one's going to drive from Truro to Rugby, even if there's a baker there doing an absolutely fabulous pie. They're all just pork and jelly in pastry, really.
Something I've noticed about the film influencers I see a lot here is that they "don't want to be negative" so they only post about a film if they like it or just post a photo at a premiere with no review lol
I think it bodes really well that WB invited influencers to The Bride premiere in London but no critics and there's only one small press screening on Tuesday afternoon

Say what you like about Robbie Williams, at least it wasn’t Yungblud.
Nigel Godrich is a massive wally
I feel there’s a new noise or detail in it that I hadn’t noticed every time I listen to it. Effervescent! 🫧
Hmm. (Love McCartney’s Temporary Secretary ❤️)
