An unlikely corporate tie in. Goodbye yellow brick lid….

The Force Dimension - Lasergunn youtu.be/Cpxcg9UkWJs?si… via YouTube They play this every couple hours on the German EBM station that soundtracks my daily commute... the sound of my summer....

HORSE WITH BLINDERS Dressed up Animals_THREE NAKED SONGS 1984_ youtu.be/heaDpuL8Wj8?si… via YouTube IMHO... the greatest goth tune of all time... and an absolute nightmare to find in the wild.....

"...that this is to desire your death. Your nature Being hard and high, you must be set free; Two secret evil forms will lie enlaced in me..." - Iris Murdoch

The Fall - Wings (Official Video 1983) youtu.be/6m2lfk4Bm34?si… via YouTube I never saw the classic Fall videos back in the day. It seems that MTV might have been a little resistent.....

The Fall - Kicker Conspiracy youtu.be/JjyQkt04Urc?si… via YouTube Another early-ish period Fall video. It's pretty safe to say footabll culture has shifted drastically in the last 40 years... which of course... is pretty much my tour of duty thus far....

The Fall - The Blindness (live on Later) youtu.be/09Z3Ww94IUk?si… via YouTube posting this... because they've pretty much robbed the baseline from "witness the sickeness" into a manc-centric garage song......

technologyreview.com/2025/10/30/112…. brilliant and timely....

Cacadou Look - Tako Lako youtu.be/pCxIRQxqNqI?si… via YouTube - Morning starts with researching surrealism - and ends with what appears to be the Croat version of the Primitives.... all because I can't work out whether "Cacadou" translates as "cockatoo" or not....

ГРАЖДАНСКАЯ ОБОРОНА - SYNTH REMIX ALBUM by ГНОМ ПАНОНИМУС youtu.be/MuNPl55yVME?si… via YouTube 10 minutes before my birthday... and an obscure ГРОБ tribute... damn I love ГРОБ....

I’ve just realised that 1995 was nearer the Vietnam war than the present moment. That’s not a very jolly thought… is it?

Monday night Utd analgesic….

“Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.” ~Rudyard Kipling

A fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will end: to general applause from wits who think it's a joke. —Kierkegaard

It’s weird seeing ‘Revolution’ shut down on Oxford Rd. I remember when they first set up stall and half their present day was a porn cinema. Another fixture of my 1990s student life falls away from the Earth….

If anyone knows my other half (Mrs S aka Sam Whyte) on here, she’s been hacked by a bot that’s spewing inanities related to that Musk tool and his accursed business operations. Hopefully the bot will get booted and business as normal will resume soon….

Due to Twitter being a dumpster fire run by an idiotic neo-nazi sympathiser… Mrs S aka Sam Whyte’s ‘X’ account has gone...There will be a phoenix account here soon. She can be found at @samwhyte at a ‘bluer’ social network. Please let anyone who this might be useful info know!

I still can’t believe Musk worshipping bots hacked Mrs S‘s Twitter account, turned into a hive of Musk worship - and then gave themselves a blue tick. 15 years work down the pisser. Someone deserves to suffer in ways that Dante couldn‘t even begin to conceive of - for that… ;(

The difference between Twitter and Bluesky isn’t the difference between ‘team right’ and ‘team left’… it’s the difference between being mugged of two decades of work by bots and corporate criminals, and being left the hell alone….
