That's not even a diss (even though it's true I intensely dislike Bieber), it's more an acknowledgement of the existence of Venn diagrams

I never imagined a time when Brian Wilson would look better than John Lydon.

i saw them in 2010 and the first issue/metal box stuff was FANTASTIC - even if none of them actually played on it. The "psycho's path"/"rise"/"disappointed" seemed to please those old enough to remember them from college radio, but I just waited it out. Latest song they played was that Leftfield "Open Up" number though - would totally see them again on a Plays Metal Box tour but not sure about the new material.

i should exclude "psycho's path" from that college rock comment

Wobble & Levene have been doing Plays Metal Box shows this year, to Lydon's withering contempt
― ┐(´ー｀)┌ (sic), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 05:30 (7 months ago) Permalink
Things that don't earn Lydon's withering contempt:
- John Lydon- Butter advertisements- The Slits

To give him his due, it really is good butter.

I wonder how that Wobble/Levene ep released earlier this year is?

The Slits
I've never heard someone go off on someone else as savagely as Lydon did when talking to me about Ari Up (this was in the early 90s, long prior to her passing.) He was not kind. I've since heard he spent a lot of time teaching Ari's kids to read, since she didn't believe they needed to know this herself. I've never heard him much praise the Slits, to be honest . . . though he was quite lavish in his praise for the Raincoats.
Pretty good so long as you're not expecting Metal Box II. But don't bother, as it appears that all four tracks appear in the new album, plus six more. I haven't heard that, so I can't confirm that the versions are identical, but buyer beware.

"World Destruction" is the sound of two all-time musicians reaching their nadir at the exact same moment.
Not helped by the fact that Laswell has never understood that just because two things have never gone together before that doesn't mean they necessarily should.
