Way livelier than I remember any bootlegs sounding. Vocals not great in places, wonder is what they never felt really comfortable with.

Technically, well done chaps, all very impressive. And the schtick is entertaining for a moment. And the guitars are nuts, I get the microtonalling sections, but what is going on with those frets towards the body of the guitar.

The music though... it's so tuneless and maddeningly derivative. Bah.

Ah, good spot for me to jump in a classic by a much missed Irish band, Large Mound
"Cursed with the knowledge of the fonts"

I've been really enjoying this, the previous record, and yer mans solo LP too. Except they make me sick, all this under their belts and they're only 23/24 years old or something. Fucking outrageous.

Love the new LP.
Hot Snakes fans, Ben Moore mentioned on FB a few weeks back that the final Hot Snakes LP is done and... it's a double.

Don't know if that means it's an extra disc of rarities/singles etc, but a double nonetheless.

wot, no Field Music?

There's another awesome Joanna Gruesome/Tubs offshoot band too, Ex-Vöid, really love their new LP

I was involved in helping draw up a code of conduct for personal device use in our kids primary (elementary) school and our principal was in despair at the damage having social media access was having on the children. And it's not just the tangible fear of being exposed to horrible views etc ...

I know nothing about the The Cure, but this story in a new Irish punk book is awesome, Robert Smith is a good sort.
