I thought it was the left that unthinkingly supported “resistance armies”
This morning’s delectable “no, just no” news comes courtesy of bloated, gout-riddled windbag Rush Limbaugh: “Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the combat Lord’s Resistance Army. And here we are at war with them. Have you ever heard of Lord’s Resistance Army, Dawn? How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you? You [...]
“Alert The Internet, Ph.D!”
There have been no genocides targeting people who like Dungeons & Dragons. Liking comic books does not mean you are at a vastly higher statistical risk of domestic violence or rape. Playing video games will not result in your being legally disallowed to marry your partner, and nobody has suggested a constitutional amendment restricting the [...]
That’s It… Goodbye
Okay, okay, so the title is a little more melodramatic than it needed to be. I really couldn’t resist the temptation to reference one of the first music reviews I wrote here on Nostalgia For Infinity. It felt entirely appropriate. As the astute will have probably gathered from the above, I’m wrapping up my music [...]
I’m on holiday!
Yep, between June 12th and 27th I am away on holiday so if you email, leave comments etcetera expect to wait a while for a response. Especially because I’m straight back to work when I return and will be jetlagged, overworked and stressed to uberfuckery for at least a few days. However I’ve also racked [...]

I’ve got a buffer of two months of reviews now and have decided to step up my posting schedule. There are a few reasons for [...]
Bon Jovi: “Kids Today”
Via the Onion AV Club: “Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record [...]
That Fucking Tank – Mr. Blood (video)
A quick Sunday treat for you: in anticipation of their gig here in Brighton on Tuesday I’ve been watching (and re-watching) the video for That Fucking Tank’s ‘Mr. Blood’, a song from an album I reviewed and liked a great deal. That was about a year and a half ago now and was written a [...]

2010 in review: all about music
A bit late in the day for my 2010 roundup but hey, I’ve been busy. I’ve split this post into two parts to break it up a bit; if you’re wondering where the other bit is, be patient. I’ve scheduled the two posts an hour apart. Music writing! Over the course of 2010 I posted [...]
