I've always found these riff rip-offs (riffoffs, perhaps?) somewhat hard to believe. But at the same time, they are uncannily similar. Here's another old favourite, featuring the somewhat odd pairing of Arch Enemy and Blue Oyster Cult, in what I'd like to believe is merely a happy coincidence.
[On the other hand, there's no topping the ( Read more... )

Courtesy of this rather singular marketing strategy, you have five more hours to get yourself this, if you're so inclined (unless you're Slash or Buckethead apparently, which I grant you is unlikely, particularly since I'm Buckethead).

I loved Insane Biography, and this new record sounds brilliant. I very highly recommend this.

Two things have greatly surprised me today.

(a) That one of the first members of Carcass was an individual known simply as 'Sanjiv'.

(b) That after years, I can actually get past Track #1 of a new Metallica album. I shall say no more, since it's entirely possible I'm giving them far too much credit merely for exceeding my embarrassingly low ( Read more... )

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Mayor of London. A resounding victory for comedy. Huzzah!

Remember this post, kids?

(Just so you don't have to wade through the multitude of entries on this active and oft-updated journal, it's two posts below this one).

Well, having taken Garfield's thought bubbles out, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone purged the strip of that damn cat. Here you go.
