i did enjoy the list, but found it, in comparison with their records i own, less confrontational and, well, noisy, than i expected. blixa at the piano? i did like and the new lp is a possibility for me, but i felt it was influenced by his old cohort nick cave. cave tells a good story of blixa leaving the bad seeds, where no communication took place, he just didn't turn up again!

efterles,

yes, space, 4 studio albums, quality over quantity - for me, they are just colossal (as is most of mark stewart's output - had thought of opening things out further by including all post (original) p.g. groups, likes of rip rig and panic, pigbag, etc, but didnae!), so where to go with so many crucial pieces? i'll go latter day p.g., where the electronic instrumentation as used in mark stewart's solo stuff, is a major factor, as well as gareth sager's direct and imaginitive guitaring,

"infuriating"

it would benefit both he and i if i were to administer a good arse kicking!

"They say the apple never falls far from the tree?"

this apple was skillfully detached by a tree surgeon (who else?), transferred to a purple velvet cushion, placed inside a glass case, couriered to the airport, loaded onto a chartered jet, flown to tokyo, unloaded and paraded through the city in a popemobile flanked by a dozen military outriders, driven to a sacred secret shrine in a peaceful and tranquil wooded grove, ceremonially handed over to a holy man, who whispered the blessing of the lotus flower unto it, before dropping it to the ground.

quite the distance actually.

......pondering on the abject stupidity of my father.
no, it's just too stupid to detail, suffice to say if he contracts coronavirus, it's his own f****** stupid fault!
but hey, 'nother lovely day.

think they've been on the 20/20 silly bastid juice!

absolutely and positively no radiohead, blastro. the effect of thom yorke's whiny vocals is as like a black and decker sander grinding into my forehead............no, not a fan.
