I want Tony Barber to Mc my funeral. He can ask guests questions about my life and award drinks vouchers for the wake for right answers.

If Tony can’t do it, Ugly Dave Grey will be ok, so long as Noeline Brown is also there.

Baby John Burgess would’ve been good too. But I think he’s dead.

Hah!

YouTube video by Queen Official Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Official Video)

Another one bites the dust is a really interesting song. It’s kinda post punk, and a bit odd, like they’d been listening to PIL and Magazine.

It’s my conviction #Galaxie500 are one of the most important bands of the last 40 or so years.

Thanks for yr expert insights. Us journos can’t do our jobs without people like you.

From Nick Cave's Red Hand Files today: "I believe that there are times when it is almost a sacred duty to shut the fuck up."

Hawking proved information can’t be destroyed. Now I’m an old surfer, and every wave carries information about the wind, bottom contours, board slicing thru its face etc.

So when the wave dissipates on the shore, where does that information go?

I’m fascinated by this idea.

I am SO FUCKING EXCITED. #Underworld are playing #Carriageworks on December 29.

Underworld live are life changing.

Vapour chamber cooling is another old technology that Apple has integrated into the iPhone. australianapplenews....

#netzero is a laudable goal. But it’s also completely unachievable. There’s no way heavy transport will be decarbonised by 2050. Same goes for aviation and shipping. And the little secret is renewables, even with big batteries, can’t do baseload, so we’re gonna be relying on gas for years to come.

I think the acid I’ve dropped in recent months has done something. I feel more expansive, more accepting. More in tune with the universal, fundamental drone. I think acid is a sacrament, and needs to be treated with respect. But it has also opened my mind.

This song was SO far ahead of its time. Donna Summer and Gorgio Moroder pretty much invented dance music.

YouTube video by Galaxie 500 - Topic Blue Thunder

Galaxie 500 are one of the most important bands of the last 40 years or so. Their music evokes that feeling of melancholy you have on a grey day at home by yourself, with only a pack of smokes, a cup of coffee and yr thoughts to keep you company.

Blockchain. Remember that? Useful for precisely nothing except indirectly gobbling up massive amounts of electricity so the crypto grifters can engage in their ongoing Ponzi scheme.

YouTube video by Vibracobra23 Mercury Rev - Peel Session 1991

The first two #MercuryRev albums were SO fucken sick. They kicked out their singer, David Baker, after those two rekkids and, like so many bands we loved, kinda lamed out after that. I woulda LOVED to have seen them in 91. So many bands, so many bands we never saw.

JD Vance says he doesn't "give a shit" about being accused of a war crime

This is real, somehow

When I was still on Fb, I’d incessantly get ads for adult incontinence products. Like, really?

The optics of any single male over about the age of 30 going to Thailand or similar for a solo “holiday” are bad.

As a writer, you know what bugs me? How most media outlets have stopped using honorifics. When I came thru, the only people who didn’t get them were convicted criminals. Now everyone is referred to by their last name. It lacks elegance and respect. @mjcpowell.bsky.social @anthonycaruana.bsky.social
