I love the use of the "Ghost Rider" sample on this.
And this video, from 16 years ago, doesn't pull any punches.

The Epstein files would never have been seen again if they’d hidden them in one of the cinemas where the Melania documentary is playing.

If I like a poppy tune the first time I hear it there is a 99% chance I’ll hate it by the 3rd listen.
There are a few exceptions to this, however.
Occasionally I like a tune on first listen and still like it years later.

Cards on the table time:
People who think there is objectively good music are delusional.
Music is purely subjective.
I think Radiohead are shit but I like Muse.
I love Napalm Death but hate the majority of the Top 40 at any particular time. It isn’t a choice, I just prefer dissonance to melody

Spent the majority of the last 7 hours in multiple venues having a good old-fashioned chat with normal people of my acquaintance, without any hint of politics.
Reminded me of the 1990s…. which I might start referring to as “the good old days”.
Imagine a “grumpy old git reminisces” podcast.

I don't actually hate it in small doses... but I think I would have to have had a really bad day to be able to listen to the whole album.
I prefer my ear-shredding "noise" slightly more structured... for example: My Bloody Valentine, Boredoms, Napalm Death, Nasum, Swans, ENT, Ultraviolence etc.

Well, if it’s the 122nd anniversary of the birth of Cary Grant, it must be time to tell the story of the time he went to an Alice Cooper concert and likened the experience to shitting himself
