Y€S!!!

Added a third YEA here to this!

I realize it's heresy, but I agree with you... don't HATE FALAA, and I own it, but I rarely listen to it. It's interesting that while some kind of rough consensus exists for the other 2 LPs Everybody else thinks FALAA is nonsense turgid sub-bauhaus twaddle too? That surprises me. :innocent: :twisted...

Brilliant interview and I cackled aloud at this:

"if you think that Marvel is doing a terrible job of comic book films—which they are—this film is for you"

(emphasis, mine)

These are much better than what we got in the states for choices...

Hoping they turn up on the ol' Shopify site!

Loved the hell out of both Barbie and Oppenheimer. Also REALLY enjoyed the remastered IMAX showing of STOP MAKING SENSE, which is stunning in its sound and clarity.

I think it's
"just because we FEED your body to the rack'

(based off the Nijmegen recording)

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult were f**king aces. They are starting up another leg of their tour and I highly recommend it, if they come to your town. Setlist was mostly the first two albums and 13 Above The Night. oh, and now we have Love & Rockets on the 20th of this month. Then we're done ...

Steven Pressfield’s Gates of Fire . Given my interests it’s something that’s been on my radar for almost two decades. It’s shameful that I’m only getting round to it now. It’s good so far. Pressfield is so great, THE WAR OF ART is one of my favorite books of all time... I have Gates Of Fire on my b...

First - RE: Floodland - I f**king love that cover! Second, there are SO MANY ALBUMS that are great that I slept on because the cover was so abysmal... Huge Jethro Tull fan since I was in primary school, but I refused to listen to this one until my 30s because the cover was so awful... (It's now one ...

Recommendations from the last month's reading... Joan Didion's THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING is just goddamn heartbreaking and brilliant. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman is a modern fable that has a HORRIBLE cover (so bad I refused to read it at first) but contains ...

It makes me very distraught that the "afterhours" shirt is not available in XL...
...I guess I'll have to console myself with the one that quotes "Here" and a silver badge pin.

This is my cross to bear.

Having gone to the Hollywood Bowl show on the 27th... my first time seeing the Cure... let me just say that was astoundingly good. Also, playing PLAINSONG f**king wrecked me. Damn...

Edit - addition… there was a couple of things very strange about last night I forgot to mention. The selling of popcorn at a rock gig! A new one on me - not sure it will catch on in the UK. The other was the guy I spotted carrying a tiny Yorkshire terrier dog! An emotional support dog? If that was ...

Loved the show Hung out on the back wall for the duration, and thought the mix was good overall (especially given how bad the acoustics are in the Palladium). Jaw dropped when he said 'This is Arms'... Jaw bounced off the floor when they announced Terri Nunn. (f**k she sounded transcendent, and the ...

I'm idiotically excited about tonight. My better half hasn't seen the Sisters live, so this is going to be a blast.

So, Eisner Award nominations came out today, and we got six nominations, with FOUR of those being for the Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes The Graphic Album book that I edited (with Margaret Atwood and David Mack getting a nod for 'best short story' in it). https://www.comic-con.org/eisner-awards-curre...

White hoodie would be great, get it done if you're watching! (please) i would love so very much if they released a white hoodie of the Orange Print Shut.The.f**k.Up./Sisters on the Howling Edge long sleeve that they had back in... 2009? Alas, I have grown and can no longer fit into the 'size svelte...

f**king hell... that is a whole lotta hey now now!

I want bunches of the new stuff, some very old stuff (Valentine, I would kill for), and maybe just Ribbons from VT.

But man, I'd really love to have "Slept" in the mix, even though I know the odds are against it.

I DO hope they bring Black Sail and On The Beach to at least ONE of the Los Angeles shows... Very happy to see HERE and BUT GENEVIEVE on the list, tho'! Setlist according to last.fm ... so they didn't play On The Beach ?... Don't Drive On Ice Ribbons Crash And Burn Alice I Will Call You First And La...

Good lord, the next two months... Tonight (April 19th) - Blondie at the Greek May 3rd - Nothing More at the Belasco Los Angeles May 7th - Bloodwood at the Echoplex Los Angeles May 15th - The Sisters at the Palladium in LA May 23rd - The Sisters at the Palladium in LA May 25th - The Cure at the Holly...

Got my tix for the Hollywood Bowl two nights after the Sisters show at the Paladium.

There's a whole lotta goff going down that week, I must say!

Now I have to figure out what local record shop I can hit in LA/The Valley that ISN'T Amoeba.

(Amoeba is a lovely shop, but the thought of going there on RSD gives me the crawleys)

The very idea of dunking anything... soggy crumb bits in the bevvy? f**king heresy.

Ooh, buttons and badges!

Wish the Afterhours shirt in XL was in stock though!
