Proof that from certain angles it looks less silly! It does seem to contribute to me looking up to 15 years younger than I am sometimes.

A Night in Casablanca (1946). Wow, didn't expect to love this one so much. The Marx Bros are older and wiser - they've slowed down and almost every gag made me laugh out loud, which I actually had time to do. A more decent plot unfolds (reminds me of the balance of plot & slapstick in the...

Last I read was Iain Banks - Stonemouth. Sort of a mystery, but also describing the protagonist's past blunder at an excruciatingly slow pace. The book equivalent of watching a car crash in ultra slow motion. Still, good enough.

Shirt with the compilation title We Sold Our Souls For Rock 'N' Roll on the back

Heard them recently and particularly enjoyed Burial at Sea. Sometimes I just like a catchy, memorable tune:

I'm not much of a vinyl collector. Got about 32 or so. Mainly anything that was too rare to find on mp3/CD at the time, or freebies. This is basically all the metal/metal-adjacent ones I have. All New Zealand music apart from Candlemass. The one without words on the front is Gawj - "So Far Away...

I'm not much of a vinyl collector. Got about 32 or so. Mainly anything that was too rare to find on mp3/CD at the time, or freebies. I keep them in a particular cupboard, but I wanted to put the shelf above back in. To make room I got a mate to cut me 4 wooden cubes, then I velcro taped those to...

And now Dolly has a profile in Encyclopaedia Metallum due to guesting with Mötley Crüe: Meanwhile, for the 2nd time I'm holding a ticket to see Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. Here's hoping they actually show up this time!

Just big feral black cats says 2025. 2nd video has a roo watching the panther watch the human, haha: https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/big-cat-expert-reveals-truth-behind-viral-panther-footage/news-story/effff50e19177f17f12bb3f8a53c3417

Go West (1940). I've been watching all the Marx Brothers movies. Basically all great so far, so that's a level of consistent quality very few actors reach. I'd only seen Duck Soup when I was younger and didn't remember anything about it except that I found Groucho's word assaults hilarious...

In November I'm planning to see Metallica/Evanescence/Suicidal Tendencies, Toody Cole, and a buttload of Kiwi bands as usual including the return of Beastwars (they're playing Australia too so get into it if you can). For non-music I'm seeing Harry Enfield! I could see myself enjoying Blood...

Just when I think my dreams can hardly get any fuckin' weirder. Today I dreamt I logged onto some sort of Chatroulette-type video site wanting to talk about nerdy database stuff. First people I got to chat to was a gay skinhead couple looking to party. :rofl:
