I once did the 'X' to Xzibit (who looked at me as if I was a jackass, which I was) so I feel your pain Dave and embrace it, I lie on the floor and pour it over me.

I heard The Stranger was writing factually accurate pieces based on the ugliness of the Monkees and got here as fast as I could.

I enjoyed this interview. He also looks like a lecturer I had whose surname is Deamer, I wonder if they are related.

Like this dude a lot, reminds me a bit of AR Kane in terms of approach, just anything goes.

Not so much a fan of Katie Kate (I would have thought its consumerist allusions wouldn't have slipped by Charles so quickly) but am COMPLETELY on the THEESatisfaction train, where are we going girls, I want to go there. 'QueenS' is so so good.

sevendaughters commented on Rap Urbanism.

I'm glad that Charles writes in a way that is true to himself and doesn't attempt to patronise his readers by assuming that street means simple. There is always room.

sevendaughters commented on The Inspirational Power of Hate.

It's a poor day when a bunch of dudes who i. have paid their dues and ii. do not suck* can't get respect because they're thin and choose to occasionally perform in a chaotic manner. All the critiques of them sound like really lame conservative worldview shit, total boring white bread 'play guitars and do it well' shit. I can see why the dude from TAAS got bored with rock. I'm in rock and I get bored with rock because of the occasional entitled whining of the audience.

*I mean come on, I can take you to towns where bands suck with gay abandon.

sevendaughters commented on Master of Bation.

This is the best negative review I've read of this because it's fair. I don't think the record is that conceptually baffling or even that bad (it's mediocre, the first half is bar room rock, the second half is better but overlong at half the length). I openly APPLAUD the effort that has gone in at parts of this even though I ultimate won't bring myself to listen to it again. But I commend Sean on not doing what every other bashing of this has done and throw a load of baggage on the ground - art-rockers famously hate metal and vice-versa - that prevents any kind of real engagement with what is going on.

I quite liked 'Cheat On Me' and 'Junior Dad', which together last as long as Reign In Blood. A chilling thought.
