me when someone asks me what happened to England in the 1986 World Cup Quarter Finals versus Argentina

Only been a few days since I got back from the Ashenspire tour/All Men Unto Me at Roadburn, and I feel antsy as all hell. Need to move. Need to sweat out my entire bodyweight on stage every night with my pals. Also if I could do that while being able to sleep in my own bed that would be gr8 cheers

Sucks bc clearly they get enough people to go "my work isn't worth what I think it is." No, you're not getting any control over my opinion of a game—you're paying for my time to check it out/make as ethical a vid as possible given the circumstances. You can't realise that, I'll turn down any money

These fuckers really are predatory. Their entire model hinges on people not knowing their own worth, and driving that notion down as far as possible. They want to pay for guaranteed views, which ain't how this works. They don't want to pay for the vast amount of work a dedicated video represents

Love to get absolutely bombarded with sponsorship offers from the same company to do a dedicated video on a game, finally cave and tell them what your rate for that would be, and have them come back reticent to move forward given "where your channel is at". Motherfucker you asked me. Constantly

Saw a post talking about The Strokes playing a slideshow condemning US intervention during their Coachella set. Neat! I also accidentally unmuted it and was subjected to some of the most embarrassing music I've ever heard

Saw that Gamescom accreditation was open and made the mistake of checking hotel prices. Really sucks how an event that was once the accessible (and generally better) option compared to something like E3 is now just totally off-limits unless you have Mega Bucks to spend. Cool industry

It's only good if it makes mentally stable people physically sick

I dunno, I've been in punk music a long time. I've been sold a lot of bands purely on the basis of their politics. In a whole bunch of cases, upon checking them out, I have subsequently questioned whether the person who recommended them to me has ears

It's like the whole thing recently where people have been like "Macklemore is actually... good?" because of his pro-Palestine stance and it's like... someone can hold Broadly Good Political Opinions and still make absolutely dogshit art. More common than you think!

A car also does this

Okay, this is crazy

Goddamn, I've had this album on repeat *constantly* for the last wee while (and, indeed, since it released way back when lol). So, so good

The live lineup of All Men Unto Me, posing in front of a sign for Roadburn 2026

Roadburn was exceptionally fun. Love these people very dearly. If you're not listening to All Men Unto Me, you're an absolute dafty.

April has been mental for touring, now back to making videos lol

‘Robby Has Never Been Your Daddy’ On the set of The Pitt finale, the acclaimed series zooms in on its main character.

Love the Pitt, love reading articles about the Pitt, and have two very strong takes on the Pitt:
1) The bravest thing the show has done is to allow Robby to be a genuine asshole. Trauma does not make people saints!
2) The worst thing the show runners & writers could do is listen to fans.

This is structurally identical to a Da Share Z0ne post

Type of fit you’d wear to reveal an Xbox exclusive first person shooter on stage at E3 2012.

Love how property websites make you sift through dozens upon dozens of landlords trying to shift flats with tenants already in them or other such buy-to-let nonsense. Motherfucker I am not a ghoul looking to profit from the roof over someone's head. I would like a place to live please
