Number 11.
The best album to come from Manchester.
Burr has just understood that there’s no use bashing progressives and women because they’ve lost.
There’s a really interesting interview with Marc Maron on the wtf podcast about this.
It seems like Burr discovered empathy.
until suddenly for some reason he became politically correct.
He has a 4 year old daughter and he started therapy. And taking mushrooms 😁
This is a great explanation. Thanks!
I’m so out of touch with Ireland these days, but fuck FF and FG will be evergreen I guess.
Say… anyone ever checked out this Ronald D Moore show called “For All Mankind”?
The first two seasons are gold. Then as Lorcan says, it drops off and the American exceptionalism takes over.
How good are the rest of these records that this album is no.12?
Building the panopticon.
Google already built it, we just didn’t notice.
I assume the trailer is aimed for people who have seen the tv show, because it leaves me totally cold.
It’s a shit trailer for a terrible show. I can’t express how much I don’t like that trailer. I hate it so much.
Looks like the producers agree with you.

Number 13. One of Ireland’s greatest rock bands.
This month’s blog.
Alt rock, post rock. post metal, Noise rock (from Co. Mayo!).
mess with elections.
The GOP have been doing this for decades without ICE.
I would say Slayer’s ‘Reign in Blood’is the epitome of thrash.
Reign in blood is the best Thrash Metal album of all time. MoP is the best Metal (of all genres) album of all time.
Or at least that’s how I’m pitching it.
No love for the Sisters? You lot are weird.
Anyway, moving on. Here’s the best metal album of all time.
Bottom line, they screwed up the Fantastic Four.
Again
And then Kermit the Frog said “Hold my Fuckin’ Beer”…
How is an album that is so good only at 17? I demand a recount!
Well, now I’m mad as hell, and…
Maybeshewill use this speech so well in this song. It’s just the most furious thing.
I want the Captain Batel arc to end Ok, given what we know will happen to Pike.
People are guessing she is the start of the humanoid Gorn in TOS.
Unexpected Zombies!
I liked that, but I can see why they put the lighthearted Wedding episode between this and episode 1.
Maybe Ortagia will get to do a bit more than say she flies the ship.
Eh, I’m with Vik on this. The whole idea of Superman being sent to Earth by his parents to take loads of wives and father as many children as possible with them is icky at best for Superman, but especially for a take that’s meant to be brighter and more all-ages than the last version.
Ah, fair enough. I reckon even Snyder wouldn’t have tried that.
“mum, what’s a harem?”
Why honey, it’s where a man has serveral girlfriends. Not the toughest get out.
It’s a pretty strange thing to get upset about. I thought you were talking about the clone murder.
Episode 2… was less good. A lot of fun but the ending was bleh.
They went full Melllvar! Never go full Melllvar.
They were good episodes, but the second one needed to be further from the Gorn stuff.
Also the song choice was, unexpected.
But is it punk or is it metal?
Yes.
This month’s blog. Sad guitar music. Loud shouty guitar music. Some dance stuff. Other bits and bobs!
Everything else now just sounds like, well, pretty much any nineties metal to me now.
Just remember that PL created that sound, everyone else just copied them. :D
Glad you enjoyed the post and hope you like One Second.
No.20 the best Depeche Metal album of all time.
And your work is appreciated!
Hoping other people tell you so!
Thanks you so much 😊
No.21
The greatest industrial album of all time.
What are your thoughts on “Colby” and his story?
He was good in the Clone Wars, they used him well. Everything else he’s been in has been rubbish.
Last night, I watched Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. I went in blind, not knowing anything about the series except that episodes were about 15 minutes long.
The first episode begins with a funeral. I don’t recognize the characters so I figure they’re new. I quickly realize they’re part of Dave Filoni’s extended animation creations. I haven’t watched any of those shows so I then have to wonder if I should have to know more than I do. The second three parter was the origin story of a popular bad guy in the various animated projects. Honestly, both sets of stories were mediocre at best.
This is something I truly appreciated about Andor: it told a different story that tied into the larger mythology but didn’t feel so incestuous. I would love for Disney to bring in different creators to tell different stories with minimal connections to Filoni’s neck of the woods. It’s a huge universe; there are plenty of stories to tell.
As someone who really likes the cartoons, tales of the underworld was weak stuff. Ventress is one of the better animated characters and deserves better than that.
That 6 episodes seems unfair. Give them the full run. 😔
This month’s blog.
We have, Irish industrial techno, French post metal/noise rock/goth, Berlin based spooky electronica, indie rock, Worthing based garage and other stuff.
My thoughts on this season.
If you haven’t watched Andor, I promise you this is very clever.
Here we have the best mix of post rock and beats. It kind of reminds me of Pitchshifter but I’m pretty sure 65 would punch me for saying that.
Oh my gosh.
This month’s blog.
Post rock / metal, metalcore, electronica. We got stuff.
Jedi owl:
The owls are not what they seem.
Perhaps its Blake’s 7 reboot time?
I would be very happy.
Is the Pixies alt rock? If so Surfer Rosa by the Pixies
Watch this space, but it’s an 80’s album.
So I just realised they’re gonna Jurassic Bark the ending of the show. We’ll get Andor dying on Scarif and then cut to B2EMO waiting patiently for him on the agricultural planet as the people he was left with age and die.
Fuck you very much for this, I’m off to have a cry.
You monster! :D
Let’s get a pit started for one of the best 90’s alt rock albums.
One of the best albums ever. But Blue Monday is the best synthpop song ever.
Ok, that is the correct answer.
Heading for the teens. It seems like I’ve been writing this project all my life…
Watched Sinners, easily the best movie of the year so far. I’m glad Coogler is free from doing Marvel movies (loved Black Panther, Wakanda Forever was a chore). Lots of gore and action, along with a good story and great characters.
Not many laughs aside from Delroy Lindo, I did get a chuckle after hearing a not-very-mumbled “What the fuck?” from someone in my Irish crowd after the scene where the vampires all sing “The Rocky Road to Dublin.”
Stay for the mid-credits scene, most of my audience were on the way out and were left standing for the (quite long) epilogue scene.
I was really intrigued by the use of that song. Irish trad as a tool of the opressors isn’t something I’ve seen before and there’s going to be a lot of media studies papers on that scene. Unfortunately I didn’t realise that the main vampire was meant to be Irish because his accent kept slipping between American and Irish and I though the actor was fucking it up. (He’s got a great Irish accent in SAS rogue heroes though)
But Yea, Sinners is the best film I’ve seen this year, and thanks for the mid credits warning, I would have left with out it.
I mean, it’s hard to argue these days.
So what? 😉
My March round up. More great music, post metal, some dark folk, electronica, we have your back.
Wise up sucker!
I finally reach half way.
An interview with Tony Gilroy here.
Gilroy added. “We would never add anybody for fun. We’re not going to add anybody for a smile or a wink or anything like that. There’s nothing in there that’s some juicy tidbit just for the hell of it. Everything has to be organic.”

PUT. IT. IN. MY. VEINS.
How about some goth/ industrial/ punk/ rave music?
This month’s blog. It’s pretty heavy stuff this time.
Lorcan, you should check out Tayne. An Irish industrial band.
Love songs or some good old timey murder? Why not both?
No.29 Nick Cave – Henry’s Dream
I really want to see this!!!
Fill your boots.
We finally hit the top 30. Calm the excitement down please.
Or have I missed a few?
This seems more recent more recent (from November).
Still just looks like the TV show.
I can’t wait for this, they haven’t played here in nearly 20 years.
I’m surprised they’re in the 3 Arena, but far play. First time I saw them it was on the SFX in ’94.
More on the Gaiman allegations.
Warning: long and disturbing. I feel quite sick now. However this plays out it’s going to be difficult to read any of his work again.
https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html
Yea. I’m horrified by this. Not sure I’ll be able to read anything of his again.
I saw Pitchshifter on that tour and they were amazing
I’ve been lucky to see them a few times and they’ve always been brilliant.
More bangers on the 50 best albums.
Spotify continues to be the worst.
Just pay artists, you scumbags.
These cunts want to enslave the people.
They always have. That’s why Amazon workers have to piss in bottles at work to make quotas.
I almost threw my crisps at the TV when it went Go Team Watcher! Didn’t enjoy that at all.
My comment made during the closing scene:
“The camera better not pan to reveal three pricks in crowns on camelback…”
*camera pans*
“… oh, do fuck off ”
I said this almost word for word.
Such a fun episode. Loved it.
Episode 3 was nice dumb fun.
Yes it was. Loved it.
I wonder why the wordpress embedding stopped working?
Bored? The telly being rubbish?
How about a round up of the best of last years music? Sound good?
I got ya.
Yeah, I didn’t like the second season much, and the reaction to the third season was so negative that I’ve never bothered.
Season 3 is better than season 2, a lot better but it’s still a long way behind season 1.
Shrinking season 2 has been pure gold though. Such a great show.
