A pacified society in a George Orwellian world.

This creates a zone of peace and calm and meditation. Bit like the Rothko Room in the Tate Modern. Perfect for writing.

My punk band in my teens in Guildford, the Cervical Smears, played a cover of "Minor Threat". The 4 people in the crowd in the shows we put back literally went bananas. We were as bad as our names suggests. Golden memories in the collapsing days of Thatcherism/Majorism.

The other week when shopping in Tesco, I was wearing my Minor Threat T-shirt, which caught the eye of a very impressed American customer. He exclaimed in reverential tones "Are you from Washington?" I said "No mate, I'm English!" He replied "And you know Minor Threat? Wow!" He hadn't realised anyone knew them outside of Washington, let alone the United States! We ended up having a really nice chat about hardcore punk bands.

Like having a beautiful hot bath with candles and aromatherapy oils and a good book to unwind before slowing down for bed time. Luxurious.

Had a pint with my friend Alex yesterday. We decided to make a Spotify blend which is basically a playlist reflecting both your tastes. So this is one of his which appeared on mine, and he's currently experiencing my Green Day, MCR and Ash!

What would you say if you met Ian Mackaye, LeytonCatLady?

I'd say "How you doing? I don't think we've met. But I know you're Ian and you're in Minor Threat!"

Can't wait to meet him myself and say a nice big thank you for all the work over the years.

That album is a classic. One of my all time favourites.

Ain't it grand?

Saw Stalingrad in Brighton in the 1990s. The singer roamed into the crowd going right up to people's faces yelling into them and provoking them. It was fucking intense.

 

[Argonia]

I'm really loving exploring Radigue's work right now. Nothing happens. And yet everything happens.

 

[Argonia]

Music to make a human civilisation on Mars with?

 

[Argonia]

Rancid!

 

[Kanda]

Fred again. It's a good album reflecting on the last year (as well as the big hit which i think everyone is bored of now)

 

[Argonia]

Emotive Hardocre. The sweetbabyjesus profile is first class.

 

[Argonia]

Shotmaker.

 

[Argonia]

Not nearly enough tyrantcore around these days. Or is there?

 

[Argonia]

Poor Julia Somerville. She got cancer didn't she? But did she recover?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Rancid!

Another favourite.

Thanks Pistols for waking up some of the fucking idiots.
