The Lucky Ones - Mudhoney. In what can only be described as “a triumphant return to form”, The Lucky Ones sees Mudhoney doing what they do best - rocking out and sneering. After the somewhat disappointing previous two albums, Under A Billion Suns and Since We’ve Become Translucent, the much-discussed four piece stamp on your […]

Grand Theft Auto IV.

I’ve not done a games review on here before. My games reviewing hat is much like my music reviewer’s hat, only it’s in binary and it’s got Patrick Moore’s face on it. When I’m wearing it, my eyes get all pink and I make involuntary wheezes. I’ll probably not wear it very often.
My […]

Bud Vs The World.

I need someone to compete against. I want to engage in man-on-man competition. I want to pummel someone’s pudgy face like dough, then bake it into a loaf of YOU LOSE. I want to run a lap of honour around your lumpen body as you sit on the floor, weeping in failure, as I victoriously […]

Ghosts I - Nine Inch Nails. I’m going to just come right out and say this: Trent Reznor is a pretentious pervert twat. There we go, any last Emos that might be reading the site have just packed up their diamond-encrusted self-harm sets, provided by their psychoanalyst parents and fucked off. Good times. After the […]

Anonymous - Tomahawk. Mike Patton is a very odd man. Filling hotel hairdryers with his own faeces to ensure a face full of hot shit for the next patron is certainly one of the greatest stories of all time, but is that enough to garner credibility? Well, no, of course it’s not, but Patton has […]

LP - Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck have a brilliant name. On the one hand, it conjurs up images of some lank-haired surfer, exclaiming in fear as a truck appears in the sky over his head. On the other, it suggests the Pope, approaching you from behind with a look of maniacal glee on his face. […]

Movies might be getting better.

I watch a lot of films. Life is short and I intend to waste mine with idle loafing in front of screens that make me mentally infertile. What could be better? In fact, that’s where I’ve been for the last few days. Don’t worry! Bud’s not dead!
I’ll tell you about Superbad. It’s a very funny […]

I’ve been listening to more music, because I win at life.
 

Pink + Green - Venetian Snares. I hadn’t heard Venetian Snares until very recently. I’ll warn you now, this isn’t for everyone, so you may want to find a review of the latest Mika album and listen to that instead. I was over at a […]

I’ve got a bit of a reputation for being a musical snob. Fair enough. I know what’s shit and what’s not. It doesn’t take much.
So, I’ve decided to do a little round up of what I’ve been listening to recently. It might inspire you to buy something new.

8 Diagrams: Wu Tang Clan. A long time […]

A Tale of Two Chocolate Factories.

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you’ll listen to me
 

Tim Burton’s recent readaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is, put simply, fucking excellent.
I was a big fan of the book when I was young and as a result of that, a […]

Growing up with Dinosaurs

10 November, 2007 (11:27) | Review, Music, Brain Blog | No comments

When I was about 15 years old, I wanted nothing more than to be able to play the guitar like J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Well, that and a few sweaty hours with Cindy Crawford, trying to remove that mole from her face. The first gig I went to that wasn’t in either a pub […]
