Although a week late but to move things along, that's it for MC5 touring ever again, bye Machine Gun - https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/10/dennis-thompson-dies-aged-75-death-mc5-drummer

Hey Martin, I'm probably digging a bigger hole for myself but I don't think that is what I said. Over the years I've read a lot about Albini and spent the last few days reading a lot more and there is no doubt some of the stuff he said and wrote is unforgivable, I was only trying to give context to it (and how it was common in the 80s hardcore scene), not justify it and definitely not brush it off that it was "for the lols". All the gross and despicable things Albini wrote have been on the internet since near day one and he's been taken to task over them many a time - https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/steve-albini-counsel-culture-interview Again I reiterate, I have no idea if he is what the internet troll, neo-nazi and Philosophy of Rape advocate, J Goldberg, has decided to tag him as, something this person did only after Albini can no longer respond and his family is too busy grieving, so why didn't he do this sooner? No actual journalist, fellow musician/colleague or officer of the law have ever actually taken it up with him makes for another interesting discussion, it's not like Albini had Saville levels of fame and infamy to avoid any of this. Let's be clear, what was written by Steve Albini is despicable and there is no justifiable reason why you would. Anyway I'd rather it not be "the weird thing I die on my hill for it" - I've got plenty of my own shite I can do that for.

I've been struggling with this place for a while and unfortunately it's shit like this and/or the reaction to some of our players like MIggy and the subsequent pile on by the mindless few that have given the place a stench that just won't air out. @spongebob toonpants do you have personal knowledge of this? I don't know if it is true or not. I never met Albini but I know people who have, does that make them fans of kiddy porn? The people I say have nothing but kind words to say about him as do people like Kim Deal or PJ Harvey who I doubt would put up with anyone like the man you are calling out. A couple of things I do know. Albini was regarded as a cunt by many people because in the 80s hardcore scene; people said a lot of offensive shit to wind people up. He did it as a profession, writing for a few of the Zines of the time. Allegedly every second person he knew on the street would call him an asshole because he had no filter. That article attributed to him is: It's unsavoury and as Albini reaslised when he got older: I have to ask myself would a fan of kiddy porn go to this much trouble - https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2009/dec/09/steve-albini-chicago-secret-santa You all might be right, he might deserve to rot in hell, especially with the way the weird cunt looked, aye @Ayatollah Hermione? But you probably you should know Albini because of his "socialist" ideals has been the target of right winged critics and trolls for a number of years. Also you need to know a little more about the author of the piece Joshua Goldberg. Have a good read, you might find some irony. What's American rightwing like to call those they like to target, oh yeah pedophiles? If Albini was one, then it's good that he is dead. But if he wasn't, as seems more likely, well as someone in the comments for spongebob's link put it best: Just remember what George Washington once said, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet. That's probably enough for me.

Noooo, you are sounding like LTA. Gordon's one of our's, he not unlovable.

According to Owen he's under pressure! Like Owen knows anymore than what his own farts smell like.

Something very punchable about him though.

Where was Barnes btw?

I did mean for the match threads but if Hendrick is available?

And Palmer, England's new Messi - well it sounds like it listening to Townsend and Tyler.

This, time for someone to step up.

Murphy deserves that for all his work., Cracker.

But Scotty, he's worth keeping, just in case.

Probably easier if you stop pretending to be Bravado Dave.

Unfortunately, unlike Gemmill when you say something the opposite doesn't happen.

Bairns are out, even Eddie's given up.

He never learns.

Sven is standing off so much atm.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Mikey Owen on the half-time analysis. Time to go wash the cat.

I'm positive Tyler had a bit of pre-ejacutlation weep as he sprouted "two mid-table teams" What a fucking tool.

Fuck yeah. Isaak can be nowhere in a game and then does that, what a player.

Looks like Murphy will be on early.

Townsend was a bang average player but the way he talks he was prime Maradona, boring cunt.

FFS how is that not a foul - it's going to be one of those nights.
