fleetwood mac rumours outtakes

Much as love punk rock, noisy psychedelia and lots of underground music, l have to admit that Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is one hell of an album, and deservedly sold in the bucket loads. Then again, l do also like a lot of other Fleetwood Mac stuff so it's not that much of a stretch. Anyway, here's some photographic outtakes from the cover shoot. By the no more British sounding Herbert Worthington

the mystic mountain region of the carina nebula

I don't know about you, but this rather stunning photograph of the Mystic Mountain region of the Carina Nebula looks to me like some kind of otherworldly super power of the type that may have had The Silver Surfer under his command in the past.

Then again, maybe l should have laid off the brown acid and kool aid drink

austerity is hitting everyone

Where do you even begin to start with this lack of self awareness in a time when so many people are genuinely struggling to even put food on the table?  The rich, do indeed, live in a different world.

Never trust a Tory

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of hell is this?  With promises of tax cuts, cutting money for the NHS and Universal credit scroungers and strong racist policies including continued deportation of refugees, to appeal to their right wing Tory audience of about 150.000 mostly elderly white party members who will ultimately select one of them.  Plus fixing the economy they have been in charge of for twelve years. Don't forget how complicit all of them were in the sleazy lying Boris Johnson government, appearing on TV ad radio numerous times to defend the lying and lawbreaking (and don't forget Rishi was fined for partying during lockdown). Funny how when it's General Election time it's always promises of more hospitals, nurses, police and 'levelling up' to make the country more equal. All his without the evil Priti Patel getting involved (so far), but trust me, she will.


And in related news....




Meanwhile, Liz Truss says she understands the red wall because she is from Roundhay, Leeds. It might be her idea of working class red wall places, but trust me, it's not. Who'd have thought she would be so out of touch with the general public who aren't wealthy, or she's just latently lying (how unlike her!).  It's one of the two.  Never trust a Tory.

the daily mail disgracing itself (again)

 After two weeks of relentless pressure and front page stories from The Daily Mail about Keir Starmer having a beer at a work event, the Durham police were pressured into investigating (again) whether the lockdown laws were broken, so that the 126 lockdown fines the corrupt government had been given could be played down as 'They're all at it'. Keir knew he had not broken the law, but honourably said h would resign if he was fined. Now it has been investigated (again) he has been cleared and vindicated, but The fucking Daily Mail are still trying to discredit him, by claiming his offer to resign put pressure on the police to clear him.

How low can a newspaper go? Sadly, there will no doubt be a lot more of this kind of crap from the Tory loving twats, funded by a tax dodging non domicile billionaire.

the no stamps future

l only found out about this the other day, but it certainly an easy way of saving on paper and looking to the future. ln The Netherlands, you don't have to buy stamps, you can use a nine digit code instead. A simple but genius idea.

paul dacre still wants to be a lord

The Daily Mail have got a lot to be responsible for, but this is cringeworthy, and makes it so obvious that Paul Dacre is desperate for his corrupt entry into the House of Lords, which no doubt he'll get before Boris buggers off.  Meanwhile in the news, lets have an unbiased column by Boris Johnson's sister and father. Carrie's ex, Michael Gove's ex, and the papers Boris worked for.

Also, l don't recall Boris saying sorry, resigning, or taking any responsibility.  He needs to be removed now before he wrecks more havoc and feathers his and his cronies nests.



The Australian press nail it better.

the rolling stones banner

It's a really old and rubbish picture but this is a banner l nicked from a Rolling Stones concert at St James' Park Newcastle  in 1982. I had to borrow a knife off some Hells Angles, climb up scaffolding, cut it down, roll it up, and walk out with it under my arm. Sold later on at Christies for a lot of money.

He's fucked

 At long last, it looks like Boris is fucked, although he will obviously try to hang on as long as possible, blame everyone else, and then swan off into a well paid after dinner speaker role and make a fortune by publishing  his diaries. 

 Twat.

The LOVE band featuring Johnny Echols UK tour June/July 2022

Managed to catch the soundcheck in Leeds last week (Double booked as we had tickets for a re-arranged Dandy Warhols show the same night), and saw them last night in Gosforth. An excellent night out had by all, although l've now got to try and find some space for my signed Johnny Echol's poster!!

Oh - The Dandy Warhol's were also excellent.

paddington gets deported

 


when footballers looked older

 Footballers used to look a lot older back in the day. Take this example - Jimmy Leadbetter from Ipswich Town.

Age? A mere whippersnapper of a lad aged just 33. He probably lived on Woodbine cigarettes and Pale Ale.

David Essex - Rock On - Musikladen

I was watching various old Musikladen shows (as you do) and although  I love this song, and it's admittedly difficult to drag your vision away from the beauty that was David Essex in his prime, look out for the bloke who appears in the bottom left hand corner who is smoking.  I don't know what drugs he is on, but whatever it is, I want some. He's wrecked.

 The waste of space that is Gavin Williamson to earn £625 an hour as an education advisor (from a Tory supporting firm that donates money to the Conservatives). You normally couldn't make this kind of crap up.  Corrupt bunch of bastards.

The great disappearing story, regarding more of Boris Johnson's corruption.  It was in The Times and Daily Mail, and now it's nowhere to be seen. Another small step towards fascism and dictatorship.
