  1. Definitely Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton and try out a couple of short stories from Will Self's Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys.
  2. Ever since silverlining was KIA Stronts has been off the leash, so to speak. Fucking dogs left, right and centre.
  3. Boss word that and a tasteful example of the Irish influence on Scouse synecdoche: according to my Cork cousins 'moth' (same pronunciation) refers to their good lady or indeed girls in general, whereas here 'mott' is the receptacle into which we chuck our muck and sometimes tongue if she's lucky. If there's not already an academic paper on the language of fannies/fanny linguistics then some cunt is missing a trick.
  4. Enjoyed this a lot but it's a typcial Tarantino movie - stylish but ultimately empty.
  5. I've got two of these suckers, one for raping media and the other for coding and generally fucking about with.
  6. Irrespective of who he plays for, it's always sad to see a player's career go down the toilet.
  7. Mine's sound and there appear to be a healthy number online right now.
  8. Exactly. Over the years my PSP has been home to all the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy (Advance), Mega Drive and PS1 classics I could ever want. I stick to the PC when emulating my childhood Amiga 600 favourites though: The Chaos Engine, Lemmings 2, Lethal Weapon, The Humans, Superfrog, Syndicate etc. all deserve the keyboard and mouse treatment.
  9. Deja vu mate, it's an entirely new series. Some of the BBC Natural History spin-offs will use library footage but hardly ever the Attenborough docs (especially recent legacy stuff like this). Massive BBC Earth fanboi and judging by the first couple of episodes Africa is going to be up there - the hippos at night was boss but that cricket stalking the chicks freaked me the fuck out in ep one.
  10. They're making a movie about Frank. A proper movie. That's only Michael Fassbender in the middle btw.
  11. ^^^^^^ Dunno whose that is (couldn't even guess my own ffs) but that is one sweet tracklist.
  12. Aaaargh! I was gonna make you the second guess but didn't fancy risking the shame of being wrong twice. It's a cracking mix mate and a lot of the tracks are now on my gym playlist. Btw were you a fan of Burnout 3 much, perchance?
  13. FINAL BUMP Reckon last year was the strongest for a while (admittedly I didn't scratch around much in 2011). Bored in work so have done my favourite 20 releases: 1. Tame Impala - Lonerism 2. Lone - Galaxy Garden 3. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory 4. Grimes - Visions 5. Woods - Bend Beyond 6. Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Mature Themes 7. TNGHT - TNGHT EP 8. Japandroids - Celebration Rock 9. Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber 10. Django Django - Django Django 11. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange 12. Passion Pit - Gossamer 13. Anais Mitchell - Young Man In America 14. Actress - R.I.P. 15. Crystal Castles - (III) 16. Shearwater - Animal Joy 17. First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar 18. Animal Collective - Centipede Hz 19. Lightships - Electric Cables 20. Perfume Genius - Put Your Back N 2 It There 's some diverse tastes on the GF - it'd be interesting to see what everybody else made of 2012 musically.
  14. Red herrings, eh. Well I'm stumped. Whoever it was make yourself known and claim some much-deserved rep.
  15. *slopes into thread* Artwork: Gotta say, this was clever: Hmm, pretty unremarkable on first glance... Warning! The following content is NOT WORK SAFE. Click the Show button to reveal. IT'S A FUCKING LIVERBIRD YOU SONS OF BITCHES Musics (click on the title for a play): What to say about this? Every right-thinking person on this earth enjoys the music of New Order and this is one of their finest. Stone cold classic. 2. Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror Oh yes indeed. Still got Vs. and Ten on CD somewhere but the discography is now sitting on my hard drive, freshly torrented thanks to Santa. The song? All about the batshit outro for me. 3. Placebo - Teenage Angst Hard band to love, Placebo. That said, the first album is a belter (they went properly to shit during and after Black Market Music imo) and this is its perfect cut. Even though the later albums were generally whiny toss, they're all worth a listen because there's usually at least one storming track on there. Though I wrote this off as a novelty track at the time, it still stands up ten years later - especially in comparison to the nu-metal shite around back then. Reminds me being a spotty meff in school. So, yeah, thanks Santa. A recent-ish one I know. The track is an MOR monster. Its chorus fucks dads. 6. Sahara Hotnights - Hot Night Crash NEW NEW NEW. Kick-ass intro, Patti Smith vocals and hooky chorus. Great stuff; need more. They're from Sweden, apparently. *arches brow* All quiet on the Eastern front save for keyboards, bass and percussion. I can forgive Santa for the lack of any meaningful guitar as The Stranglers are class. Sweden, eh? *raises second eyebrow* New one to me. Impressive, these guys managed to travel forwards in time, steal The Horrors' schtick (2008-present), travel backwards in time and pass it off as their own, only better. Fuuuuuuu- Not my favourite on Surfer Rosa but you could take almost any song off that record and I'd still be sitting here, fully erect. Can't stand The Young Knives. Sorry Sants - I listened to it a couple of times out of politeness - but these chumps are AIDS on toast. CD gets back on track in spectacular fashion - how the actual fuck have I never heard of Go Betty Go? Thrashing power pop and surprisingly sweet harmonies. Sold. Gotta admit I cheated on my first listen to the CD as I had to play this about six times in a row. Have since acquired their only EP and only album. The EP is punkier than C'mon hints at and the album has more diverse sound than you'd expect from a punk band. Boss to the power of boss. ps make more music, cunts. Cool-as-fuck intro and swirling reversed guitar goodness from one of the Great Lost Bands. Think I gave the album this is off a few plays when it came out and found it pretty dull (compared to what was around at the time)... might be due a revisit. Good work Santa, this was the track which got me into Coxon (can take or leave Blur). What would a Fucking Guitar Flavoured compilation be without a virtuoso player or two? Wow this song is a lot shorter than I remember. Everyone knows this one surely - it seems to hang on that riff but for me this is all about the bass guitar. And Courtney's sardonic lyric of course. 15. Jane's Addiction - Just Because Never really dug Jane's Addiction but there's no denying Dave Navarro's got some mad skillz. Thanks for picking the only Jane's Addiction track I know, Santa, you fucking hero. Classic track from a classic album. Final confirmation this Santa has truly done his homework. Well, to say I enjoyed this compilation would be a massive understatement - I've ripped it and lashed it on the Walkman to soundtrack my runs. Damn norovirus. Seriously, this was a superb collection of songs (Young Knives excepted) - I'm made up to have finally found Go Betty Go and rediscovered some bands I've been overlooking for too long, in particular Pearl Jam. Guess: this has gotta be that Swedish meatdog RiS.
