Swells was pretty m/c too?

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Saturday, 17 August 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link

Probably, albeit via Bradford.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 19:11 (four years ago) link

Or Swindon even! But he wasn't Maconie or Quantick, thank fuck.

calzino, Saturday, 17 August 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link

Swells’ dad was a company director. Although I worked with DQ when I first came to London, I have no idea about his early life. I’d like to think Swells, who was my friend and who I miss terribly, would be Team OJ.

I couldn't for the life of me imagine such an inspired talent turning into a bad parody of a fat old reactionary tory with a humour tumour, like most comedians shit nme hacks.

Don't normally listen to podcasts but this might be good.

The next British govt looks set to pursue a No Deal Brexit. Dublin is starting to accept this will mean border checks.@MichaelAodhan tells us what it means for families in N.Ireland and @RonanMcCrea breaks down how we got here in this new bonus episode: https://t.co/l7M0dM3qSi

Just rationally looking for a broad church of opinions, like I always do

in my experience football podcasts are torturous interminable noise that make me think death is underrated. There might be some good ones but it's a door I'm never going to open again.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 09:50 (four years ago) link

all podcasts are bad

in this ted talk I will

I accidentally caught about a minute of That Peter Crouch Podcast once on 5live once. Footballers are bad overindulged dimwits and podcasts are bad.

podcasts = technological backward step

not a huge fan of technologically forward steps these days mind you

My podcast is good and I don't talk on it all.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link

actually I'm not sure if it even counts as a podcast

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link

I've listen to a couple of decent Tooze ones in recent times. Some of the lefty ones on twitter I've clicked on before are fucking awful.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link

used to love Cooke's Letter From America which wasn't a podcast and was probably bad. But liked the ASMR qualities of his voice more than his observations on golf and the oddities of his US fascist friends.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 10:47 (four years ago) link

xp yeah there’s no great ones out there, all though I definitely do listen to bits of reel Politik while cleaning or whatever. Trash future is unlistenable, they’re all so smug, ugh.

gyac, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:00 (four years ago) link

Under the assumption of no deal I am on the lookout for anything that might give a picture of how chaotic or not it might turn out to be.

I hardly ever listen to podcasts, not a talk radio person anyway.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:04 (four years ago) link

I've never listened to a podcast on any subject in my life.

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:16 (four years ago) link

mine are all about my book so you should start with them

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:20 (four years ago) link

agreed!

there should be a British version of Trillbilly Workers Party imo

Very interesting to see The Observer backing Corbyn's plan but I really don't see how also publishing this is very helpful. Although I do understand Jeremy's frustration. pic.twitter.com/eQyDCTjwi5

Btw check out this from calz’s favourite MP

Surely this is a matter for the police are they investigating this horrible attack? I’m not your greatest fan but you should not be intimidated in any way!

Bazza only has any empathy for the construction behemoths that have generously lined his pockets for decades. He's a classless, worthless piece of garbage. He's probably been an MP longer than Frank Field and in many ways he's worse than him!

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:55 (four years ago) link

*struggles to believe such a thing*

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:56 (four years ago) link

I'd like to nominate him as a GNU temp leader though, if Ken dies of a heart attack after listening to a Matt Mitchell album Bazza can't be that far off Father of the House status.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 11:58 (four years ago) link

him and FF have both stood in the same constituency since '79. He tries to keep a lower profile than Frank cos he loves the grift of being a professional lobbyist.

Jesus, you'd need a wheelbarrow if you ordered single fish from that chippie.

Excellent work from ignorant Scandophobe Sheerman

what's wrong with being centre-y? (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 18 August 2019 12:28 (four years ago) link

he calls himself a "Social Enterpriser". In plain English he's a bought politician. It used to be called sleaze or cash for questions in the 90's

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 12:29 (four years ago) link

mmm thinking of that wheelbarrow full of whale blubber is making me hungry!

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 12:30 (four years ago) link

All the flavour's in the blubber iirc

another classic bit of classic Sheermanning was in response to a local football supporters group campaigning for a dedicated safe-standing zone in the stadium was that if ppl stand up they are more likely to shout racial abuse at players - said the racist.

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 15:09 (four years ago) link

Love this account and the fact he tagged baggymp

As a guy who's owned and played guitar my entire life (I currently own 7, including a beautiful 12 string), this is abhorrent.

His left hand is grabbing the neck like he's about to strangle it rather than caress.

When I think he's reached rock bottom, he stoops lower. pic.twitter.com/BF0yDzbPxy

Sweep picking I'd say

michael schenker group is no laughing matter (Matt #2), Sunday, 18 August 2019 15:51 (four years ago) link

wait, when I played I used to hold the neck like that AFAIK. a bit like (sudden realisation, crosspost with "shockingly old when you learned" thread) I hold a pen too hard and brush my teeth too hard and other things dyspraxic people do, except such words didn't exist when I went to school

maybe that's why I could never play anything more complicated than half-speed Ramones songs

microtonal fingering, you love to see it

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 16:22 (four years ago) link

yeah toothbrushes don't last long with me either and I often injure my hands in the unlikeliest of situations. But wouldn't take unsolicited advice from nay fucker on how to hold a guitar!

calzino, Sunday, 18 August 2019 16:24 (four years ago) link

Not sure what that chord is he's playing tbf.

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 August 2019 16:40 (four years ago) link

the correct joke is just two posts up tom

mark s, Sunday, 18 August 2019 16:42 (four years ago) link

I think he's going more for an arpeggiated open string shoegaze kinda sound.

Boulez, vous couchez avec moi? (Tom D.), Sunday, 18 August 2019 16:47 (four years ago) link

he's playing ligeti:
