Significantly stupid things said or done by significant others

Two great albums, papster.

You are right. She is wrong.

I may have underestimated your musical taste.

But can you actually hear the music through all that hair?

Aw bletch, bless ya. I must point out that I am merely humouring you, and I consider your musical tastes incomplete.

I sort of treat you like a post-lobotomised Randle McMurphy that has had any knowledge of guitar music surgically excised from your brain.

All we need now is for the Indian Chief to finish the job and spare us our Bletch-inflicted Smiths’ misery.

What difference does it make, Halo?

None taken.

And you are the worst type of heady-medalist - one that knows the value of twee and fey jangly, indiedom, and yet still prefers to bang your head against this brick wall.

Wouldn’t you rather the forum was inflicted with Halo-sprinkled Bryan Ferry dust, Bletch?

See? I don’t know what to do with this. I could explain it, but I don’t know if there is any point. _Could _you understand the smorgasbord of what it means to have eclectic tastes? Obviously not, judging by this evidence.

I am reminded of HP Lovecraft’s unperceivable horrors that send any observer batshit because they are unable to comprehend what they are witnessing.

This is you and guitar music, isn’t it bletch?

No, just me and your inscrutable posts, papster.

???

My tastes are healthily catholic.

I even like my guitars plugged in - from time to time.

It’s just all that fucking noise I can’t be doing with *.

You raise me The Ace of Spades, and I trump it with A game of high-stakes canasta.

*Bletch re-reads his post and decides to check and re-check his birth certificate.

Not sure if this is a WHOOOSH moment or not, Halo.

…if only Marr had used an acoustic…

The Ace of Spades is a really bad example, as it’s one of the few examples of an accessible metal song. For me, that genre is all about complexity and craft. It’s the complexity that most people cannot get past, and if you think for a second that metal fans have got any special listening skills that allow them to decipher what others cannot, you’d be wrong.

Almost every metal album I’ve ever really loved was bloody hard work to start with. Apart from someone’s assurance that this album might be quite good, each and every one was a total leap of faith. By the time it sinks in, it’s still complex, but it’s understood and appreciated. It’s earned. That’s what’s underneath the noise, and that’s why I still find new things to love in 30 year old albums.

Lol, yeah, you can chalk that up as a WHOOOSH moment, Bletch!

HER: Why does it say Sunday?

ME: What?

HER: In the corner, why does it say Sunday?

ME: It’s the score. It means Sunderland.

HER: Oh.

The score was Sunderland? What does that mean?

It means you are watching the wrong match.

Bearsy versus fatstuff - the irreverent object meets the irrelevant force.

Ha hey.

Spotify Link for Bletch

Someone on Steve web posted once that their other half misheard and forever referred to Papa Waigo as Papa Mango. Not sure why that tickles me so much but it really does.

Those crazy mercan chicks that Lou introuces you to eh?

Lou is like, so pimp

I always associate Ace of Spades with colour-blind children who are wearing bibs and the wrong footwear, running aimlessly, slipping about, and throwing footballs at each other - badly.
