  1. I've been thinking about this a bit as I'm now of the age where heros and those who have had influence upon my life, good and bad, are dying with more regularity than when you are younger. And of course that makes you question your own mortality? So, I suppose the question is, what's yout thoughts on what's next, once you make the Yes Gemmill thread? I was dragged up Catholic/Christian but I have no time for their beliefs, that there is a heaven with a white middle eastern Jewish chap, his dad and cohorts, welcoming the likes of Trump and the world's new believers. Terry Pratchet had this wonderful notion in his discworld books, that death himself collects you but after that you get whatever you believe in, so if you're a jihadist you get your 61 virgins (sorry but really who wants a virgin?), if you think it's hell then pack your sunscreen, nothing is nothing, etc etc - which is great but it's too easy and there are too many selfish people for death to agree to that. I'm more of there's fuck all, we just go back to the dirt of the earth that made us - which also kind of makes you think what's the fucking point, nihilists are never the life of the party. Some days I look at it and think, well all creatures have energy and energy cannot be destroyed, it just transfers to a different form of energy, so maybe our energy is just redistributed to other creatures born when we pass, yes it's a bit close to reincarnation but it could also explain why so many people all seem to think they were Cleopatra in a previous life. No one is looking to be converted to the Hillsong church you're a member of, so please remember that but I am interested in what others think?
  2. Quite like that, think I'll have to find the album now. Another great Scottish release from this year was Current Affair's new one (Gemmill just stop now mate, it's not for you.) Also Lichen Slow's album, with Middleton from Arab Strap, was another that seemed to pass under the radar. See the Mary Chain have just announce a new album first in about ten year.
  3. So Mbappe was the best player on the pitch and Ruiz was as good as Pope - yeah right fuck off and stop smoking the snails.
  4. The podcast I posted above with the Ausgaze episode, did a punk now and then episode - https://eardrumbuzzradio.podbean.com/e/vapour-trail-live-punks-not-dead-episode/ And of course Suicidal Tendencies were on it and I have not heard this song in so long. Enjoy.
  5. Oh and @Blastronaut, @PaddockLad @spongebob toonpants and anyone else that is interested. https://eardrumbuzzradio.podbean.com/e/ausgaze-30-minute-lunch-bite/
  6. Yes it was me, for some reason I like grindcore, not a metal fan by any stretch of the imagination. I'll check them out, thanks. BTW you know there is this whole slowcore/shoegaze genre around at the moment called Blackgaze.
  7. @Blastronaut someone just recommended these was worth a listen for new Scottish dreampop/shoegaze bands, Sunstinger, Swis, Swim School, swiss Portrait, Transmission Suite, Neon Waltz, Midnight Ambulance. Heard any of them? Thoughts?
  8. So just in those responses, they have made a homophobic slur, they have called him a nonce, fat shamed and accused him of cross dressing, isn't that being transphobic? And then they accuse the Saudis of doing all those things? Where was that pic of Terry Fuckwit again?
  9. He Korean you racist pig! So he'd be great with a bulgogi BBQ and that hot stone cooked rice they do, bibimbap!
  10. Watching Wolves we really should be in for Wang Chung (yeah I know it's Hwang Hee-chan - I'll report myslef later), cunt is like a battering ram and scores from very little. He wouldn't be that much, he'd never get another opportunity to play in Europe, he'd probably be good enough to make second choice, pushing that chap made of glass to third choice, is only locally cup tied and has a ready made song.
  11. It's only early afternoon here Rob, it's still morning in Hobbiton and Andrew is just getting home from work in the land of the long white cloud. You probably should fuck off back to bed! But you can't can you you luck cunt, you're like Rick Salomon and you're going to get up Paris, aren't you?
  12. Fuck no! I was thinking about him the other day when Fist was asking something about how to get e certain sound in the guitar thread the other day. GW was one of those guitarists, a bit like Andy Gill (also RIP) who influenced the sound of a lot of those bands in the 90s and early 00s - from Nirvana to Rage Against the Machine. I'd been living in hope that Killing Joke would tour again soon. RIP Kevin, mate you were a bloody legend. edit: Just read he had a stroke two days ago, hopefully it was the result of a large bag of speed and five Czech hookers.
  13. Did they make it smaller? We all know SJP is a small pitch but I don't think they'd get away with making the 18 yard box that much smaller.

    Gigs 2025

    You are not wrong, I've met someone who is in BJM, he was in my doco I sent you the link too, Ricky Maymi, really nice guy. We were talking about BJM, this would have been around 2008 and Ricky said, "I was in the BJM before they shot Dig! and I was in the BJM after they released Dig! but thank fuck I wasn't anywhere near the band while Dig! was happening." Anton likes to make a scene in public, unfortunately it's his thing and those close to him know it and try to either stop him (his g/f is the chick in the ruckus) or they step out of the way, Ricky far left of the video with the 12 string. FYI the guys from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were early members of BJM but got as far away from there as possible.

    Gigs 2025

    Anton is also known to be a complete head case. From what I've read and heard he spent the whole gig calling the audience cunts, although he might be right as he was in Melbourne. He just doesn't do drugs or alcohol well and he's been touring for six months, so he will be filling his boots.
  16. @Renton You sure you just didn’t order the Russian bride when you were zonked on codeine? @RobinRobin glad you and all in Hobbiton are safe now, it’s good Gandalf was able to conjure up the doctor for all of you.
  17. Hey cunts, we’re back! Thank fuck international break is over. Equal parts dread and excitement with this, dread because we are all going to have listen to Gemmill drone on about how good he is. Excitement because we are going to fuck these Ukraine invading former Rusky now just yank cunts, right up!

    Gigs 2025

    I was considering driving down to Wollongong to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre this evening, until this happened a couple of days ago, mate and I thought it was bound to happen tonight (they have been on a six month world tour so tensions would be high) but it turns out Anton could wait any longer. If you want a good music doco to watch, go find DIG! It's about the Dandy Warhols and the BJM.
  19. WTF? - no not the post, it's in the song. The same EMF which the bass player was found a week after he'd died in his flat because a freind from the States was over and he didn't answer the door? https://www.nme.com/news/music/emf-4-1377700
