Dancing the Lambada in Limbo

What does one do when one does nothing but 'do'? And other elongated statements lacking profundity.

Tobacco Roll Alzheimer’s.

I appear to be consistently checking my ears for pre-rolls when considering smoking one these days. I wonder if I am one of the few who share in this sometimes startling turn of events?

Dozens killed across Iraq - Telegraph

This small commentary piece was initially shared earlier this evening on Facebook. Anyway, I thought I might share my thoughts on these matters here as well.

I don’t usually enter into such matters on Facebook - for multiple reasons - but this also happened today. In case you were wondering, this is no competition but how many of you noticed this before what has tragically occurred in Boston today? It’s a rhetorical question in case you were not already aware. I just find it saddening that such matters are swept away and similar instances in more ‘familiar’ areas become today’s ‘hot topic’. I fully realise many of us will near automatically centre in on matters close to home, it’s just saddening sometimes. I won’t pretend to be someone that is on the pulse of current affairs - I am not. However, when witnessing such an overwhelming precedence of ‘loss’ directed in such a manner…well, perhaps I am mistaken but it just seems wrong. Anyway, back to mocking a dead woman and her state funeral.

 

A friend of mine responded to this with ‘closer to home? barely (i just checked google maps). I believe the phrase you wanted was ‘closer to tone”, to which I concurred. My writing skills are OK but they are far from what they could be.

THE PALM AT THE END OF THE MIND, by COUSINS

Cousins are a band I discovered tonight. I like them a lot. They’re a real odd mix of stomping rock, grunge, garage rock ‘n’ roll, lo-fi and, well, something a bit different overall. It’s a tad tiresome to list genres and possible comparisons but it helps some people to access things. Elements of Roky Eirksson, The Gun Club and Jonathan Richman collide with wired elements of bands such as Thee Oh Sees and The Pixies to some extent. Genuinely impressed and already fond. Sorry for the overly comparatative overtures but do give them a listen.

Champagne Justice!

So, this is a gig night I co-organise in Southsea. Champagne Justice! is all about promoting a combination of alternative local acts and touring bands from across the UK and beyond. We’ve been going for nigh-on nine months now. I’m pretty proud of that. It’s not always easy - and it’s a constant learning curve - but it’s a labour of love and we’ve had the fortuity to meet some truly wonderful and talented folk thus far.

Strong Island is a local community bringing together the greatness that resides and is spawned from our fair city of Portsmouth. Please get involved with both if you’re at all interested in the arts…and partying. A big shout out to Charlie Thompson for the article, indeed to the whole Strong Island crew for being bloody brilliant.

If you happen to follow my scribing and reblogging on this here Tumblr but are from an unattainable distance, then please do befriend us on Facebook anyway. We put on a lot of fantastic acts and I reckon you may well like them, so have a goosey gander. If were previously unaware what that means then you’ve just learned a new phrase. Lucky you!Champagne Justice!

The 10 Most Racist Moments from a Song About Ending Racism





“Accidental Racist,” a collaboration between country star Brad Paisley and rapper LL Cool J,…somehow manages to set race relations, country music, rap music, the careers of both men, and just progress in general back by about 25 years.
There are about 30 seconds of this song that aren’t filled with unintentionally racist nonsense, and those would be the first 30 seconds of the song, before anyone actually starts singing. Once that happens, though, the floodgates burst wide open.

Amusing and infuriating in equal measure….no. No, it’s infuriating.
