  • Tory Regrets Removing Legal Aid For Himself

    Tory MP Nigel Evans spent his life savings defending himself in court, after voting to reduce legal aid spending by 40 per cent, and is now calling for a reversal of the decision.He said he would now vote against the cuts brought in by the Conservative/Lib Dem coalition, after false accusations of rape and sexual…

  • Truth Is Where You Find It, Not Just Where You Bump And Grind It

    “Superheroes are part of your brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don’t talk, you watch talk shows. You don’t play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers…

  • David Plumbob, Straight White Male Middle-Class Master Photographer

    CLOSE UP OF PLUMBOB WEARING OLD CLOTHES EVEN THOUGH HE IS RICHER THAN GOD: PLUMBOB: I had a normal childhood, mansion, servants, you know, the usual. At university, I developed a real passion for photography… well, actually, it was for big boobs. I loved taking photos of big boobs. But I noticed, hey, no one…

  • You Want A 1996-Themed Alternative Music Card? You Got It!

    Just in case the tweet disappears, here’s the card that Emma Jackson (yes, THAT Emma Jackson!) found: I reckon it was compiled from Mark And Lard playlists of 1996 as that’s a pretty wild mixture of bands / styles. Seeing White Town on it is really very, very strange! EDIT!!! This just in from Emma…

  • Thank You, Spotify Listeners!

    Not too shabby! Also, that’s around SEVENTY YEARS of listening which is quite freaky when you think about it. :-O

  • The Corruptive Power Of The Female-Presenting Nipple

    Friends… Last week I was an upstanding citizen. I went to work, I paid my taxes, Church twice on Sunday.  But then, just a few days ago, I saw… A FEMALE-PRESENTING NIPPLE Now, I don’t know if the nipple was owned by a boy or a girl. I only know that it presented as female. What…

  • The Dream In Which I Invented A New Synthesis UI With The Aid Of Teri Garr and Robert Vaughn

    By my standards, this was a pretty ordinary dream. The only thing that makes it stand out is the synthesis part. Well, and my co-inventers but they aren’t really real in the way that an idea can be real although it was dreamt. Teri Garr is still alive so it’s possible she could have been…

  • More Racist Shenanigans

    I was out in Mosh again last night, having a lovely emo time. I was with a couple of friends and another had gone to the bar. He came back with Racist David in tow. Yes, Racist David who thinks this is the height of comedy ->  I was dumbfounded. When I’d flagged his bullshit…

  • Photography And Power

    First, please watch this excellent video by Jamie Windsor:  So, that video inspired this comment from me: This is a beautiful, thoughtful commentary and raised a lot of issues for me ~ there is a whole school of photography which is basically neo-colonial and seems to delight in reducing people from non-European cultures into curiosities,…

  • Why Is Your Band Called White Town?

    This happened to me when I was a kid. I was probably 7 or 8? The kids I invited wanted to come but their racist parents wouldn’t let them go. A lot these people were the same people who lobbied the people we bought our house off not to sell to us. In the whole…

  • Baby Rampling

    I was out at Rock City this Saturday and a cool thing happened.  There was a small group of girls out and one of them was taller and so stood out. She had a gorgeous face, flowing hair and looked a little like a young Charlotte Rampling.  As she walked closer on her way to…

  • Destination Star Trek 2018

    So, last weekend was the long-awaited DST 2018. When I say long-awaited, I booked the hotel room over eighteen months ago. And then, finally, it was time! Like DST 2016, my bff Nat went with me. This is us:  This is the second time DST has been held in the NEC at Brum and it…

  • More Star Trek Politics

    Not all Trek fans are lovely people. There have been a few dodgy types I’ve met online who turn out to be raging homophobes or sexists or one of those right-wing types who thinks calling someone an ‘SJW’ is an insult. Which is the equivalent of someone sneering at a campaigner for human rights. When…

  • Martyn Ware Talks About Politics

    Above is the interview I did with Martyn Ware recently when he spoke at the 2018 UK Synthfest.  It was lovely to catch up with him and also to get him on tape in proper Martyn rant mode. 🙂

  • Roland MIDI Drivers Break MacOS High Sierra

    I have one of the above interfaces. I plugged it in to my iMac Pro which is still on High Sierra still as I am a cautious type (usually) and not yet sure how well Mojave would behave with all my pro audio software. Anyway, I plugged in the interface, searched for it in Audio…

  • KEYBOARDISTS – GET FUCKED!

    Trying to watch the many online non-Moog demos of the #MoogOne but I have died of a surfeit of #ENDLESS MONOPHONIC BLUES SOLOING. For FUCK’S SAKE, it’s a #POLYSYNTH ! Demo it as a polysynth! This is what happens when you give a #synth to #keyboardists and not #synthesists. ? — Jyoti Mishra (@JyotiMishra) October…

  • HARD BREXIT – SCOTLAND TRIUMPHS!

    I shall now put on my Dave Hutchinson SF hat and say: Imagine Britain goes hard Brexit. The nations are in uproar! Scotland holds a snap referendum and votes for independence and to stay in the EU. Now, every company that is based in London can have an English-speaking UK base if they just up…

  • Synthfest UK 2018

    This Saturday just gone, I went to Synthfest UK 2018.  It’s an annual gathering both of makers of electronic gear and the end users – like a big trade show but with a way more personal touch. Here’s a little vid I made: As you can see from the vid, there’s a huge range of…

  • I’m Lolling At Henry Rollins…

    … in this episode of Stitchers. Like… they even had a flashback to him when he was younger. I wish it just been him in Black Flag, running round like a little fucker.  What a missed opportunity.

  • FUCK THE POLICE

    This pig shot a black teenager *walking away from him* in the back SIXTEEN TIMES. Gets away with 2nd degree murder, will be out in no time at all. If he serves any, that is: The second-degree verdict reflects the jury’s finding that Van Dyke believed his life was in danger but that the belief…

  • The Ruling Class Loves Pacifists

    I wonder why.

  • Batman Or Twatman

    responding to the above meme… Hmm, I dunno ~ there’s the post-Snyder, ruined Batman who wields machine guns and murders his way through a group of henchmen with nary a qualm. He’s not too clever but is BUFF and A BILLIONAIRE. Er… and… er… that’s it? Then there’s the guy I grew up reading about,…

  • Been Sold A Pup

    You could say that in terms of the reality of Brexit, the vast majority of people who voted for it have: been sold a pup.  In the days following the Brexit vote, I heard many stories from non-white friends about an increased level of racist attacks. They were harangued at bus stops, in shops, just…

  • Heteronormabored

    One of the things I find most tedious about het porn is the INEVITABILITY of the sequence of sex actions. It’s always shit dialogue, oral (usually only one way, mind), vaginal, cumshot. Maybe they’ll throw in some anal, maybe they’ll go foot mad or something. But that’s it. as an old, old man who remembers…

  • Nude Shoot With Tania

    Last weekend, I did a nude shoot with the lovely Tania, as pictured above. I’ve published one nude book so far and done numerous shoots but most of them are kept private as the models are sensitive about families / partners and what they’d think.  So, it’s great to babe able to actually publish these…

  • BSG Versus Trek

    My reply to the above: If you compare TOS to reboot BSG, then it may look dated and certainly the effects are *now* inferior. BUT at the time TOS came out, it was a revolutionary series, in terms of both conception and (where the studio allowed!) execution. The first inter-racial kiss on US TV: check.…

  • Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art Lens Test Shot

    As a birthday pressie to myself, I bought the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art Lens. Most of my portraiture is shot at 50mm, either with my f/1.8 or f/1.2 Canon lenses. I’d thought about getting an 85mm for a while now but the price of the Canon versions made me baulk. Then, along comes the Sigma,…

    @BBCR1 #furries If you’re gonna talk about a subculture, it might help if your presenters don’t piss themselves laughing at it whilst introducing the clip. *hint* don’t become sociologists… ? Seriously, though. First of all – who under 40 hasn’t even heard of furries in 2018? I cannot believe two YOUNG AND HIP AND HAPPENING Radio 1…

  • Dump Trump – UK National Protest, London 13/7/2018

    On Friday, my mate Nat and I had the privilege of attending the national anti-Trump demo in London. It was wild. I had planned on doing the whole march but I’d fucked my left ankle in the week (over-walking, ironically) and it was in a brace so we ended up just joining the rally at…

  • STOP TRUMP!

    THIS FRIDAY! See if there are local demos going on or come down to the national one in London. Stop muttering and start shouting, make you voice against Trump heard! Here’s a lil map of all the protests going on plus where is sending coaches to the London protest:   Linky: Stop Trump org.

  • Stop Wiping Your Butt So Hard

    Good morning, here’s a story about my butthole. Years ago, it was itching constantly, and I couldn’t figure out why. I assumed it was dirty, so when I went to the bathroom, I always made sure to wipe extra hard. Finally a doctor had to tell me to stop that, and give my butthole a…

  • Dolores’ Dad Is Deputy Andy

    Sooo… I’m bingeing Murder She Wrote and look at the fella playing Deputy Andy: That fresh-faced officer of the law aged gracefully into: This is actor is Louis Hertchum. And he now plays the father of born-again android revolutionary Dolores in Westworld: You can’t keep a good actor down, can ya!
