Fuck yeah. Annihilator (by Annihilator, obvs) is one of my favourite tracks, and at some stage I made a half-hearted attempt to search for the third worthy album, but clearly got bored before I came across this one. Good effort, this is a banger

Chicken burger, scampi, gurkin, and a battered sausage. Pineapple fritter if I’m feeling fancy

Thank you, but no

Someone was very pleased with themselves for coming up with that headline

I’d love to see that exhibition in person, these are photos that clearly need to be seen as large prints

This whole album is phenomenal

Yeah, I’m not really sure what it is they’re doing, kind of rock’n’roll on 8-string guitars, but it’s great, and I love the doom-sap moniker, even if it’s only there for the pun

Fuck off Keith, was colonising Ireland appropriate?

Thanks, Gnome are a proper gem, their own very specific kind of weird. Check out the video to Wenceslas for some fantastic dancing. I’d not found the doom metal community, so thanks. That’s right up my street, finding Pelican, Baroness and Elder in the first few posts makes me think there’ll be plenty to get my teeth into in there.

Their own kind of nonsense they call Doom-Wap, they make a quite pleasing racket. One of my favourite newly-discovered bands of late

 

Gangs often get chased across the high plains by a posse, no?

That’s a bit more on the death side of things than my tastes usually run, but it’s got some good grooves to it, and the video is mint. I’ve been really getting back into music videos recently, Gnome’s Golden Fool and The Ogre videos are brilliant, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ March on Pax Romana is phenomenal (none of them are thrash though). I’m of the MTV generation, and I’d not realised how much I missed good videos until recently

Even though on the face of it this is a sensible suggestion, I object to it due to it coming from such a complete waste of oxygen

No no, Miata is always the answer. Clearly, Miata is in that case answering the question “how do I look like a bellend without spending too much money, and clearly communicate that while I understand mechanics, I probably shouldn’t”.

 

Looking for a few workshop manuals, is there anywhere that generally has a good selection?

 

There’s a bunch of videos in this article

 

Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?

Hello peeps. Life’s thrown me some curve-balls recently, and I’d like a bit of an escape. Can anyone recommend a decent game in the vein of Skyrim, Fallout or Deus Ex/System Shock for the steam deck, that isn’t 25 or 30 quid please? Something on offer for less than a tenner would be ideal. I’m sure there are some great older RPGs out there that I’ve missed, the Deck is the first time I’ve got back into gaming for quite a few years, and while I’m sure I could quite happily just play Brotato for the next few years, I reckon there’s something a bit more immersive out there for me to find!

 

Probably worth a watch, and whether you agree with him or not, being aware of the economic situation here at the moment is probably prudent

 

Hi all, I need a bit of help.

I’m looking to get further down the rabbit hole of interesting photographers, but I struggle to define what I’m after. My general misanthropy extends into photography, people are almost always the least interesting thing in the frame to me. Why would you waste film on faces, when you could be taking interesting images of some nice concrete or rusty iron?!

I love the work of Toshio Shibata, Bernd and Hilla Bescher, Bill Brandt, Danila Tkachenko, and GXAce on YouTube. The problem I have is that searching for “Urban” photographers brings up street stuff, “Architectural” ends up with folks who take pictures of whole buildings, “industrial” seems to lead to people who take photos for corporate websites, or urbexers (though some of those are verging on what I’m after). Constructed landscapes, textures, geometric shapes, and the juxtaposition of human artifice and nature, that’s my bag.

Is there a term or genre that would connect all this? Or am I just going to have to keep finding new artists one at a time?

Ta!

 

I’ve got a little stainless Coast A5, which I love, but its beam pattern is very, very much inspection torch. Dead circular, even spread.

Is there anything similar in body, but with a more every-day torch beam? I don’t really want some black knobbly military-cosplayer’s thing, I’m not too bothered about a built in charging port, I want minimal. I love the simple, smooth stainless body of the A5, it lives in my smart jacket pocket along with an elegant little pocket knife, I just wish it had a thrower-style beam.
