is quite dead. in fact it was pretty close to being dead 20 years ago, though in the strange way that forms of cultural rebellion do retain some life beyond the [...]

[ed. If anyone screams misogyny at this review I am going to scream and pull out half my beard, just read the bloody book; it's tedious to anyone with an adult attention span. Also if anyone screams hypocritical prudery, I'll tear out the rest of my beard and fling it at them. I'm not a [...]

Observations and thoughts: on sugar, Agave Syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and obesity. Presented with my usual sardonic pluck, taste tested and approved.
Through most of my childhood I had a mild weight problem. Even into adulthood I carried a small, slight, paunch even when other parts of me were lean. This was annoying. Why, Allah, [...]

I just picked up a rather old release from Earache Records, a DVD compilation of early 1990s Godflesh videos.
Titled, In All Languages, the disk was composed of 5 Songs, all simply crushing.
