Spare a thought for the Pigeon detectives.
They didn't go to school in Switzerland. Pool auld divils. Never hurt anyone. Just trying to earn a living.

Alright then

I prefer room on fire to the debut.

I'd say the strokes all have really bad feet now.
There's no support in those converse. It's like wearing slippers outside.
Those skinny jeans can also cause circulation problems.

I wrote if off for years but I think it's really good now. Can't see that happening with the other ones.

Listening to lyric FM in the car a lot.
Great music played by proper musicians.
Not just a bunch of arse pickers.

Pints become hard work as well.

When you can no longer finish a takeaway.

Yesterday I got a Subway BMT. I ate half of it. Couldn't finish it, partially because I was busy, partially because it's not actually very nice, partially because I'm old and I know what it'll do to me.

The second half of it was a life saver this morning, even though it tasted like spiced cardboard.


But maybe four years ago, I was in a Subway for some reason and I said aloud to the missus "Maybe I'll just get a six-inch".
She was like, you can't say that. What's the point of going to Subway for a six inch.

And then there was this little, maybe 11 year old kid there, there was only the three of us on this side of the counter. He kisses teeth (which if you don't know, is as insulting as it gets), and then he says " six inch. bruv, PUSSYHOLE".

ok I'll have a 12" then.

This kid was genuinely offended that I might consider the NOT MAXIMUM amount of food.

I was going to buy an issue of hot press the other day, because I haven't in years & I was wondering what bands and films they writing about now, seeing that most of it is underwhelming. Do they still have that outrageous and controversial sex column? Are they still interviewing politicians and asking them if they have every smoked cannabis and what they listen to on their iPod?. Is Stuart Clarke still taking drugs and getting penis piercings? Is there a hip young writer who thinks they are Hunter Thompson?

1 Buying a magazine OLD
2 Thinking most new music is Meh OLD
3 Thinking most new films are shit.....they are OLD
4 having a go at people who think they are being edgy.OLD. More bitter than old.

After all that...I didn't buy it.

I only realised 'Hot Press' was a pun last year. I have seen about 6 issues of it (over 30 years). amazed it is still going.

It's a pun? I still don't get it. I liked it at one time, it was the only place.I knew for reasonably comprehensive lists of gigs (that I couldn't really go to at the time) and for a sense that some people might tolerate miscellaneous misfits (gays, atheists, mental illness etc). I suppose the internet and the need to fund it's own existence made it pointless.

 

[ann post]

I've not looked at it for years, but i'd love about 2 years and a big mountain of funding to develop music writing / media in ireland. It's in a rut, sorta.

Hot off the press/hot press where you keep your towels and your immersion

i watched a video the other night about rory gallagher and realised he was only a couple of months older than me when he died.

Fair play to HP for lasting this long....

There's an interview with M(h)aol on the site.

M(h)aol: “We open the album with ‘Asking For It’ because many cultural narratives paint rape as the end of someone’s life. There’s no narrative around healing" | Hotpress

Trailblazer quintet M(h)aol on their debut album Attachment Styles, overcoming trauma, period sex, multifaceted feminism, the dark but ever-evolving history ...

Good looking band, A bit controversial and confrontational. Rapes, & periods and all sorts going on.
I was shaken, but I'm okay now

Hot off the press/hot press where you keep your towels and your immersion

That crossed my mind there but I thought it was too unlikely

i watched a video the other night about rory gallagher and realised he was only a couple of months older than me when he died.

I remember this coming to mind when I turned 47. I was in my 20s when he died and had no comprehension of what being 47 was. It seemed so much older at the time.

No, It's Not Just You: Why time "speeds up" as we get older - Science in the News

How a clock measures time and how you perceive it are quite different. As we grow older, it can often feel like time goes by faster and faster. This speeding up of subjective time with age is well documented by psychologists, but there is no consensus on the cause. In a paper published this...

I only ever saw him at the gig in college green, and would have considered him old at the time.
