More singles reviews from me in the next issue of Record Collector. Lord Gilmour of Cambridge on the cover.

Merzbow

Found all series of Fargo highly entertaining. Haven’t rewatched but then I don’t rewatch much. (Too much to watch.)

I had to correct the subtitles for this episode cos it gave the band name as "Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs".
NO COMMAS NEEDED HERE, THANK YOU.

😆 EXCELLENT WORK! THOROUGH. @pigsx7.bsky.social

Delighted to see the best British stoner metal band, @pigsx7.bsky.social , on the best British TV quiz show #OnlyConnect . Read their origin story in Electric Wizards: A Tapestry of Heavy Music. 🐷⚡️🧙‍♂️ reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/electri... @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social @reaktionbooks.bsky.social

Heard a rumour Breivik has come round to St Anger.

Off The Ground: Paul McCartney In The 1990s is a perfect book for Dads. I know several who’ve already read it and can attest to this. Follow-up: ‘The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Beatle’. #booksky #paulmccartney #Dads @reaktionbooks.bsky.social

Pharaoh Overlord, “Louhi” Drone-y minimalism with "Cookie Monster" metal vocals to scare and delight fans of more traditional forms of krautrock.

Combining drone-y minimalism with "Cookie Monster" metal vocals, Pharaoh Overlord's latest is a thrilling spin on the classic krautrock formula. It's our Album of the Day.

Simon Pegg: Undiagnosed ADHD to blame for multiple driving bans The actor has been in a number of car accidents and committed several speeding offences — and believes his lack of focus is linked to the condition

Does he also blame it for his lack of good films since 2004? www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/art...

Grayceon, “Then The Darkness” On their stunning sixth LP, the Bay Area metal trio harness neoclassical cellos as almighty instruments of power.

Nick Cave has brought a lot of joy to my life. However, I’d also like someone to write The Bad Seed equivalent of Harry Browne’s book on Bono. 😎

Happy 50th birthday to SABOTAGE, the best (*my favourite*) album by BLACK SABBATH. ⚡️ 🧙‍♂️ ❤️

“In downgrading reviews, publications yield to the temptation of corporatized impersonality…”

I doubt it and the whole article is utter fluff.

Buzz Osborne of Melvins continues to champion Lou Reed and Metallica. All hail LULU. #buzzknows thecreativeindependent.com/people/music...

Got to hand it to them for finding ways to monetise even their negative press. I was so impressed I nearly ordered one myself.

It was a hell of a week on the interweb.

…Including the Twitter beef that erupted between the album’s producer and another outfit who enjoyed the review.

Billy Bragg’s inspired some sanctimonious stinkers.

They should do this with my review of that band that’s too popular who then sold a t-shirt based on the review.

One’s a God in his field who wouldn’t think twice about making a urinal of The Alamo, and the other one’s Ozzy. (Etc.)

Chilezzy on Ozzy!

“Oh culture is just ghostly and unreal now” yeah it might be for YOU mate, but you spend every waking hour reading people who agree with you and talking to people who look like you, it’s no wonder you’re dissociating a bit.

Yeah.

The one time I saw Black Sabbath, I wrote about Babymetal instead. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
Sabbath’s performance was still seared in the memory, so I reflected on it in Electric Wizards. #RIPOzzy
