19. Studying Engineering. Science, Formula 1, guitar, giving fewer and fewer fucks day by day. Dislike popular culture and eccentricity and noisy dogs and pretty much everything else and probably you.
I had a couple of friends stay for a few days. While putting an Arctic Monkeys album in my PC disk drive one friend says “what are you putting in”, to which I replied, “suck it and see”.
There was a brief moment of silence after which my other friend, in my toilet, shouts; “WHAT THE FUCK’S GOING ON IN THERE”
Hey Paul!
The term “British” has a very greasy and tacky set of connotations. An ugly little bulldog with an ill-fitting union jack waistcoat can’t help but spring to mind. The sooner Scotland can distance itself from England the better.
P.S. - how can it possibly be a good idea to have people running our country in times of austerity *cliche induced sigh* who don’t have a clue what austerity even feels like. The overprivelaged fucks - especially Harry.
What came first; the chicken or the dickhead?
I’m getting a little pissed at the number of people going around regurgitating “music now’s not like it used to be” “all post 21-century rock and pop in garbage”
Wrong.
Albeit today rock and pop bands (not acts) struggle to break above the choppy waves of one-direction or <insert generic r&b artist here> in our current album charts the reality was perhaps not so different in, say, the early 90’s. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana could only muster an all time best 5th in the UK singles chart (with heart shaped box), a feat “bettered” by the likes of Take That, Wet, Wet, Wet and Madonna several times within the span of their three (real) albums.
This has obvious parallels today with the likes of the Arctic Monkeys or Arcade Fire (two groups which will eventually go down with the Pixies, Velvet Underground and Nirvana themselves as some of the greats).
Putting nostalgia aside, let’s be honest, Humbug and Funeral are better albums than “are you experienced - hendrix” or the one with the warhol banana on the front by the VU. Not much better, but better. (I’m not saying they’re bad albums THEY’RE FUCKING EXCELLENT bits of work)
We’re too scared to admit this because critics have created a certain aura around these classics, and again don’t get me wrong they are classics, that makes them untouchable pending the wrath of the sheep of YouTube and members of other social arenas.
Stubborn or old fashioned? Have a look around at some of the Rock and Pop out there. Agreed, music is easier than ever to make, so the vast majority of it dilutes some modern gems. There’s a million sewers of shite you could stumble through but every so often somebody flushes something good down the toilet.
The transition between teddy picker and crying lighting…
Husband animates joke about tortilla chips told by his drunk wife.
Pretty much the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
This is the cutest fucking thing I have ever seen in my whole ever.
I snorted.
