I used to write about music in Terrorizer (UK) and Extreme Noise (Oz), but that was a long time ago. Now I guess I'm just an amateur opinion-haver. Metal, drone, minimalism, maximalism, bit of industrial, etc.

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 7mo agoWhat’s the best song lyric in history?
Not sure who it was who pointed it out on here last time I posted this song but they’re absolutely right -‘….the body of Venus… *with arms*’ is surely- surely- the most absurd rock lyric of all time. youtu.be/JGftIcp2SC0?...

Simply cannot mentally separate Jeff Mills and Jeff Wayne in my mind. "Oh it's cool that the War of the Worlds guy went on to have a second career as a DJ", etc. Irrevocably merged forever in my remaining shreds of brain, inseparable, sorry.

#nowplaying Phantom Spell 'Heather & Hearth' - superb and wildly eccentric new LP from the utterly mental prog/NWOBHM leaning Seven Sisters side project. My favourite album of the year *thus* far *by* far. Bandcamp link here: phantomspell.bandcamp.com/album/heathe...
*taps mic* *short squeal of feedback* *clears throat* "I can't believe the Doors are on first. Jim Morrison must be fuming." *applause*
In the early 90s I was getting off a tube carriage just as Bobby Gillespie was getting on. I said, 'Oh, Bobby Gillespie'. He nodded and said 'All right?'

And to think people are saying Ministry’s Squirrely Years Revisited has the daftest LP cover of the year…
There is a wonderful purity to being a music fan at 16, isn't there? Certainly based on my chosen four. "THIS is brilliant, THAT is awful; THIS GENRE is my *life*, THAT GENRE is irredeemable rubbish for deluded imbeciles" & so on.
Andrew Male@andrewmale.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat perfect albums came out when you were 16?* *No retroactive cool, please. Albums that were in the house that you actively purchased and listened to. ("yeah, i was big into William Onyeabor and Midori takada back then").

Finally enjoying last year's Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album after giving up on ever finding a CD copy I can file next to the others. Love the way they include stuff like this amongst the impenetrable proggery. Like Stewart Lee, "we *can* write songs, we just choose not to". youtu.be/8I8T0xWjok4?...
