Please note I am abandoning Twitter due to the terrible direction it has taken. Catch you amidst the ether.


Outrageous: Rishi Sunak approved Boris Johnson's honours list - featuring Jacob Rees Mogg and Priti Patel - the same day Boris Johnson resigned as an MP. If, like me, you agree Boris Johnson's list should be blocked sign the huge petition now: 38d.gs/Boris-Honours-…


25 mins into a Black Boned Angel track when I finally accept that #drone metal is a crock of shit and a travesty of #doom, and stick on Shakira and Wyclef Jean.


#Khanate To Be Cruel review: A thick, fried slice of gloomy halloumi. If you liked Khanate before, you'll like this one. If you didn't, this won't change things. If you've never heard them before, brace yourself. #doom #metal


The mighty @tochinoshin, Lifter of Giants, has retired from #sumo. I will miss him. We wish him happiness for the future.


This morning's listening: Cough — Sigillum Luciferi (2008) Eyehategod — New Orleans Is the New Vietnam (2012) The Go-Go's — Beauty and the Beat (1981) Corrupted — Nadie (1995)


Morning listening: Asunder — A Clarion Call (2004) Skepticism — Alloy (2008) Slow — V - Oceans (2017) #doom #funeralDoom #funerealDoom


I think there's something wrong with my mesolimbic pathway— You drive.

Valentine’s day - A day on which Mr. Al Capone ruined a romantic night out for many diners by massacring them. Died of syphilis, he did. So there is some justice.


GUITARISTS: What does guitar strap length choice say about your playing?


Meanwhile, @nhk do not provide a way to watch #sumo officially outside of Japan except for highlights shows, and I no longer seem to be able to buy tanimachi status on the JSA's Grand Sumo app to be able to watch all the matches with poor download speeds and without commentary.

Today, NHK issued a 3rd strike to my channel and YouTube deleted the whole account. All 7,000+ videos are gone. Very sad. End of an era. I will try to start a new channel with only my commentary in February. Updates and links here on Twitter soon.



Due to a running private joke about our favourite food reviewer, @jayrayner1, I decided to put my childlike art skills to dubious use. Sweet memes, everyone.

The @audibleuk app has awarded me the 'Alexa badge' for listening via Alexa device. I don't own an Alexa device and have never used one. I don't think anything could compel me to, either.


Never mind bests of 2022, tell me stuff new to you which gives you goosebumps. Doesn't matter when it was released.


Making some time this morning for @wearebrutus. I can't shake the feeling they adventured to where the Music is and stole some away with them. Listening to a Brutus song is like feeling everything at the same time.

IDK who made it, but this is a god-tier #RingsofPower meme.
