They say write what you know, and many, many, many musicians have just done that. Obscure lyrics about mainlining Anusol, and tell-it-like-it-is ones about that weird smell at the back of the tour bus that was there before you bought it. It’s all there, and it’s all wonderful.
Sam is back, so join him as he joins Andrew as they fail to check anything they say and barely talk about the music they’ve decided to talk about. This week’s sponsor’s include Shell Oil, Camel Cigarettes and the HMR Treasury.
Did we talk about how awful the Offspring are these days or last week? Is Ed Sheeran still playing for them? The usual amounts of toilet humour and ponderings what embracing European orchestral traditions suggest in black metal.
Oh, and Metallica. Yes. They sponsor us this week, as well. (Actually? Not actually).
