#NowPlaying Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991, Warner Bros)
Just when the rest of the world was ditching non-grunge rock, they released an absolute banger of an album.

I’m in the minority that likes Load, but 25 discs is too much for me.
#Metallica's LOAD album gets the reissue treatment in June. Massive 25-disc super deluxe box set available, along with 3CD, 2LP vinyl and more > > shorturl.at/K3zMn

RIP Clem Burke. 😕
He was the best drummer I’ve ever seen live.

#1994AlbumsTop20 it’s a crying shame, but there’s not much discussion these days about Rollins Band. The CDs are out of print, and nothing on streaming services. Hank himself talks more about Black Flag than his own band.
So take it from me - they were excellent. Hardcore jazz-punk and great tunes.

#1994AlbumsTop20 one of the best years in music for me, so plenty to pick from.
Marillion returned to a darker, more complex forms and released ‘Brave’ early on in the year. It remains of their finest albums.
They made a film to accompany the album as well, but it wasn’t anywhere near as good.

#NowPlaying Iron Maiden - No Prayer for the Dying (1990).
Maybe the least essential of Maiden’s studio albums, but there’s still a handful of superb songs on here. The opening track (Tailgunner), and the two singles (Holy Smoke / Bring Your Daughter) are all piss-weak, which ruins it’s legacy.

My 4th-great-grandfather was an absolute rock star in his day - at bell-ringing. He composed peals which are still performed today, and set records for the length of changes rung.
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

Genuine question:
It’s all very good that decent people are migrating here from twitter, but what happens when the inevitable happens, and all the wankers/spambots/trolls/racists set up here?
Does BS have a plan in place for that? Or do we go back to using yoghurt pots and string?
