Michael Jackson – “This is NOT It”!

October 13th, 2009 · Comments

It’s no wonder that, Michael aside, the Jackson family are a bunch of no-hope, weird-ass wastrels. And by excluding le King du Freak himself from the equation, I hope you’re catching my drift. These guys have no fucking clue.
Ever since the Peter Pan of Pop departed for the giant NAMBLA symposium in the [...]

Pixies at Brixton, Wed 7 October

October 8th, 2009 · Comments

The Pixies played through the whole of Doolittle (plus B Sides) at the Academy last night (the second of four dates the venue) in honour of the classic album’s 20th birthday. It was fucking tight. The place was as packed as I’ve ever seen it, the lighting and visuals were awesome, and the songs sounded [...]

October 5th, 2009 · Comments

“Risque” is the wrong word to describe Rammstein’s latest music video. The correct word would simply be “porn”.
Pussy is the first single from their up-coming seventh studio album “Liebe Ist Für Alle Da”, scheduled for release on 16 October.

Obama calls Kanye a “jackass”

September 15th, 2009 · Comments

By now we’ve all seen or heard about Kanye West’s awesome Hennessy-fuelled stage invasion at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night. You know, the one where The New King of Pop told Taylor Swift she basically sucked and then blew a mouthful of musty air up Beyonce’s mangina. Shit, it’s already taken the interweb by [...]

V Festival 2008

August 18th, 2008 · Comments

Got back home this morning after an epic V Festival in Essex, had a shower and went straight to work. Thankfully it was a quiet one today, because my body and brain are still ravaged from the weekend’s excesses. I’ve got supernova heartburn and some gorgeous bruises all over my body thanks to an impromptu [...]

Crowd etiquette by QOTSA

June 18th, 2008 · Comments
