Cool Summer: The Musical Rediscoveries of 2020/2021

Every year it’s music. All day it’s music. All the time. And if it’s not then there’s a film on – and I’m usually noticing the music. Or it’s a podcast. Which has music. Or is an interview about music. When I’m reading it’s a music biography or it’s poetry – which has its own […]

Tom Morello: Comandante (ep)

Tom Morello Comandante (ep) Tom Morello I feel so conflicted when thinking about the music Tom Morello has put into the world. There’s a lot I love. And then there’s so much that’s just fucking ghastly. Nasty-terrible. So bad. The whole Nightwatchman solo persona is borderline unforgivable I reckon. Just awful. Terrible singer/songwriter stuff that […]

Five Songs For Friday: 27 – The Return of ‘Five Songs For Friday’

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these – far too long. Blame work commitments. I’ve been worried about getting a podcast up some part of Thursday or Friday and then work – the pesky day-job kind – has been on the horizon, looming, with early starts every Saturday for most of the last year.

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 138: Limp Bizkit – “Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water” 

A lot of this world’s problems and most of its very bad music comes from white dudes with daddy issues. And I was reminded of that finally listening to Limp Bizkit’s breakthrough album. I was reflecting on how lucky I was to be completely above (and beyond) nu-metal in all its numb-skull variations. I was ‘too […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1901

Audioslave, Audioslave (2002) The problem with Audioslave was in the packaging – such a conscious attempt to build a supergroup; to come off like some new millennial Led Zeppelin. I liked the first album a wee bit – at the time. But didn’t think the band would ever last. I was surprised when a second […]
