I went to Cardiff once. The hotel had rats.

You should read this. And admire the pretty pictures.

Death metal or Grindcore?

Might go see them next Saturday...

Very tempting, but getting there, being there and getting home would be a problem. Public transport is useless, and parking difficult. If there was somewhere reasonably priced that I could leave a car for 10 hours or so, then maybe...

Would've been loud in there. The band, not the crash...

Every home needs a cat. Or cats.

I have heard more Scorpions than I choose to remember, AND I've seen them live (Reading, 1980). Sadly.

CORE FESTIVAL, DAY 3, WOODSIDE HALLS/HUG & PINT, GLASGOW, SEPTEMBER 14 2025 Last day of CORE '25 . Will anything else go horribly wrong today? Line-up: MRS FRIGHTHOUSE : Wife and wife duo, unsettling electro-industr...

Day 3. I'll stop now. thefudlip.blogspot.com/2025/09/core...

It gets worse?

Why do you feel the need to punish yourself like this?

I think I've probably missed my chance now. And no, the battery is no more, but I do have a spare which does work. Also, my mic died on Monday, so I had to get a new one. Stills camera, then video camera, then mic. Shite things come in threes, right? They can stop now, right?

I am moderately envious, as I haven't seen Sugar Horse for far too long...

All of the above (minus PtW) plus Day Sleeper, Gout, Defeater, Frontierer, Jo Quail, OMO, Moni Jitchell, Shutter, Mrs Frighthouse, etc.

What movie would that be, then? I doubt it's called 'Removed by Author'...

DELIVERING THE GOODS, BANNERMAN'S, EDINBURGH, AUGUST 30 2025 Now, it's no secret that I don't have a lot of time for tribute bands, so you might be wondering what I'm doing here tonight. Well, please a...

I don't like covers bands. I don't like Judas Priest. So I went to see a band playing Judas Priest covers and I had fun.

I reckon England might just edge this one.

Better than Celtic's dismal efforts last night...

SPOILER ALERT! Celtic are fucking awful. Two pens from five. Embarrassing.

LANTERNS ON THE LAKE, LA BELLE ANGELE, EDINBURGH, AUGUST 23 2025 The second of two actual Edinburgh Festival gigs this year. This one's a band I've not seen for aaaaages*, but the wife quite fancied it, s...
