It’s just bollocks, isn’t it 😑

Ultra nationalists (going by previous incidents although I suppose that might not be the case…) turning up endorsed by the governments of their home state and the state they’re visiting?

Looks like Martin Freeman playing him in a British equivalent of All The President’s Men

Edison Lighthouse were still on the road at the same time as The Damned!!

Wow 😳

It’s funny how little punk there actually was out on the road in 77

For me, I’d go
Stranglers
Dire Straits
Bob Seger
Dr Feelgood

But The Motors supporting Wishbone Ash would have been an odd one to see

My mate found a bundle of old FOOMs and Captain Britains (British version) in his mum’s attic when she died

Luckily there’s no such thing as manmade climate change…

“Crimes against humanity” seems such a quaint phrase these days 😑

If AI ever writes a Gravity’s Rainbow copy then we’ll end up fighting robots in the street

Would’ve been wild times in the days of mushroom roulette - not hungry anymore OR watching psychedelic skies for 3 days OR dead

I also wonder who the first person to drink milk was and how they first
managed to actually get it 😳

So…that’d be a reason not to eat Cheez Whiz then?

echosounder.bsky.social @echosounder.bsky.social · 4d

I read it when I was about 18, then I read V
Got on to Crying of Lot 49 and Slow Learner and THOSE were the ones I struggled with 🤷‍♂️

Our local in Mosspark got razed to the ground
Didn’t even get the halfway house stage of Bingo Hall
They built an unemployment office on the site but not one you could actually sign on in 😑

That’s nearly blancmange which was last sighted in the wild as part of a picnic on Hampstead Heath in 1964

War comics were always my joint last resort with cowboy comics 😑
Only ever bought if everything else had gone (our local shops might have about a dozen random comics in a rack - you had no chance of following a multipart story)

Sandy Robertson was wrong about the Ramones 😊

U12 free is still amazing though 😂

echosounder.bsky.social @echosounder.bsky.social · 6d

Was there no age restriction? I just read that poster as “these movies are terrifying and will terrify you” then noticed “u12 free” 😳
