I've heard of about 20 of them, listened to about half of those, and actually know one of the artists IRL. The USP of The Quietus is to promote and discuss niche and avant-garde music, much of which is by its nature obscure. Not sure why that's a bad thing.

What I find so unlikeable about this team is the relentless awful Alpha Dog energy they love so much, which seems to mean that dickheads are actively encouraged to be more dickheadish.

I've watched both series and it's every bit as bad/great as you'd expect/hope.

Nah. Brilliantly cast, manipulated in the edit, "rules" subtly altered as needed to achieve drama but absolutely not scripted to a predestined result.

Today's principal male style icons appear to be Aussie sheep shearers and/or Weird Al Jankovic. It's utterly baffling. I reckon the seed was hipsters starting to wear those 80s wire-framed glasses about a decade ago and has become an all-consuming contagion.

Used to have the odd lunchtime pint there when I worked at YTV. Was very much an ordinary boozer. Seems weird to have a destination food pub in that location but fair play to them for pulling it off.

I was there. IIRC, One of Inspiral Carpets behind me in the queue didn't get in because they closed the doors just as he got to the front.

Yes. I love a non-twiddly guitar solo. Will Sergeant's slashing on E&TB's Broke My Neck springs to mind, in a kind of similar vein.
