Iggy Pop likes 'em and they're in the Grauniad every month, so there's some CACHET

but yeah - they must be pissing themselves.

They're like a coffee-table Whitehouse. I expect they'll go on releasing the same album for as long as Whitehouse did, too.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Don’t ask.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I'm not recommending, just pointing out the similarity. Cheap electronics while being hectored by a cunt. Opening line is a classic though "Can I suggest you ... get fucked".

I may have mentioned this before, but this is my favourite memory of John Peel:



I was only 13 at the time, but it always stuck with me, the CD jamming, and Peel not knowing.

:) Sort of an update on his frequent “that record was presented at 33 and 45” when the old goat played something at the wrong speed.

My God, this piece of shite.

In an apparently "pro-gay" video, he makes it absolutely clear from the outset, so that there can be no ambiguity, that he is most definitely a virile, red blooded heterosexual.

He then proceeds to sing about how every gay guy must be interested in him because he's such a free and open guy, with many a zany witticism. For example, he is seen driving a "Mitsubishi Zero", apparently not realising that it is actually a war plane, and claiming he had an uncle who played for Red Star Belgrade, apparently not realising that they're a fascist team.

Tosser.

Really? Driving a Mitsubishi is, what? Tacit acceptance of the military industrial complex?

Fucking weak! :lol:

Huh? No, just in the video it's a car, when it's actually a plane... regardless it's hardly the worst thing about it

Well I agree with that.
‘Virtue signalling’ wasn’t really a thing then, but...

I just wonder if you have an issue with every pop star that’s ever looked at a VW Beetle?

I like BB a lot but I really don’t need to hear him sing. He’s a decent raconteur.
