Poem: We Bonded Over Sonny Rollins and Faith No More And Lenny Kravitz And So Much More
We lost a good one this week, a soldier no longer reporting for duty – his war over; he wore it as well as he could, I guess. If you asked me to take a guess on who might succumb – and how fucking gross and dumb – I might just have stammered his name. […]Archive

Stubs: # 221 – Faith No More, Wellington, 1995
When I first saw Faith No More in Wellington (1993) it was (and still is) one of the greatest gigs I’ve seen. And when Faith No More released its new album in 1995, King For A Day – Fool For A Lifetime, I was amped; anticipating the album and very excited to find they’d be […]Archive

Metal on Metal – That’s What I Crave: Ten ‘Gateway Drug’ Metal Albums In My Life
Recently I posted this – about “Ten important hip-hop albums”. I’m going to repeat the opening paragraph from that post: We all know that lists are subjective – that is the point of them. So I’ve decided to do a series of top 10 albums across genres. They’ll appear sporadically. And rather than call them “Top 10” […]Archive

A Question For Those (Still) With A CD Collection: What’s Your Best Bonus Disc?
I know, I know – “no one pays for music! Not anymore…” – but for those of you who have (or even had) a CD collection I’ve got a question for you. It’s right there actually (already). In the title of this post. And the reason I ask is because…I was doing some CD-tidying the […]Archive

Stubs: # 20 – Faith No More, Wellington, 1997
I saw Faith No More three times in Wellington, three different venues – and between each show a two-year gap and a new album – I’ve already written about the first time seeing Faith No More (Angel Dust tour) being one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. This was the final time for me […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1091
Ennio Morricone, Il Vizietto (La Cage aux Folles) [OST] (1978) I can remember – back about nearly-20 years ago now – a mate of mine was in some semi-regular correspondence with one of the guys that had played guitar for Faith No More – this guy was also the guitarist in Mr. Bungle. My mate […]Archive

It Was The Best Gig Ever # 3: Faith No More, Wellington, 1993
I saw Faith No More three times in Wellington, three different venues, three different line-ups of the band (different guitarist each time) between 1993 and 1998 and all three gigs were great. This band never let me down. But they often tell you the first time is sweetest, you certainly never forget your first time. […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1227
Faith No More, Angel Dust (1992) Well, I’ve gushed on and on about this album for some time really. Wasn’t ever quite sure I’d get the record – then it was reissued recently and so there was a chance. But I missed my window, the store sold through its copies – and I figured I’d […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1257
Faith No More, Album of The Year (1997) It’s the reissue; 180g, coloured vinyl, limited edition/numbered – and all of that is fine, and yes, it’s still not Angel Dust (but that will be mine; oh yes, that will be mine…) I’m very happy to have this record though, because I dig Faith No More, […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1338
Living Color, Time’s Up (1990) I was a Living Color fan when they burst on the scene with Vivid and then this album. But I didn’t own the records at the time – I just knew them for the singles. Living Color and Faith No More were two bands I loved at the time for […]Archive
