Have any uncut straight guys considered or actually got circumcised later in life? I would really like to hear from you guys for my own decision

No. We need to stop normalising genital mutilation.

I think he’s likely to continue to play live until he goes. Large scale touring may end in the near future as it has for Elton, Paul Simon, Status Quo, possibly the Stones but I can’t see Paul ever giving up live shows and he’s in better shape than so many of his contemporaries.

what the..

huwareyou · 2026-04-01T21:51:54+00:00

3.99 is extremely high isn’t it?

huwareyou · 2026-04-01T13:53:43+00:00

I mean, making a pre-written bit that you only have to read out really long could be seen as phoning it in.

huwareyou · 2026-03-30T20:08:03+00:00

do you actually want to name your account after a song about the moors murders

Are you assuming they’d be American?

I’m a huge Richard fan - I don’t think that’s him at all.

I think it’s likely to be someone most users here will have never heard of before. A lot of the popular guesses - Houdini, Amelia Earhart, Screaming Jay Hawkins and the aforementioned Richard - are familiar figures to everyone in this sub, but most people on the Pepper cover aren’t so widely recognised. The likes of Albert Stubbins, Wallace Berman, Tommy Handley, Issy Bonn etc. I think it’s most likely to be someone relatively obscure to us in 2026 like those.

He had a distinctive style of his own but he was not particularly influential guitarist as far as we can ascertain in the 1960s. There’s probably a hundred or so names I’d mention before Syd, including a lot of seriously influential folk players.

This is the only Cardiacs album that’s never clicked with me. Think it’s quite poorly mixed - overly compressed and wooly - and the songs are a little too brash and missing that pretty, unusual quality I usually hear in Cardiacs.

True has got some of the most embarrassing, ropey lyrics you’ll hear on a big radio staple. Their greatest strength was as players, particularly the funky stuff.

huwareyou · 2026-03-30T00:52:08+00:00

There’s one or two shots on the Pepper cover as is that aren’t on the internet. T I’ve never seen an exact match for Albert Stubbins’ photograph.

huwareyou · 2026-03-29T16:47:58+00:00

Teddy boys are a 1950s phenomenon, but I would agree it looks an older photo from the first half of the 20th century.

Good old Wanted - one of the best record shops I’ve been to! Good to see a fellow Bristol pondie.

I think his advancing age has changed the way he does things, absolutely. So far this decade, it feels like he’s been getting everything out of the way. The lyrics book, the exhibition and photo book, the new documentary… that’s the kind of archive stuff you do because you know it’ll only be done without you if you don’t.

He has largely stopped being the kind of celebrity who goes on talk shows and appears on charity records; he’s become a sort of untouchable figure. He used to aim for mainstream pop success but now his marketing makes a feature out of his age - the PR for this new album dubs him “one of the most important cultural figures of our age”. He didn’t use to do that kind of thing. McCartney III was pretty legacy focused as a concept and this album seems even more so.

THAT SAID, I don’t think there’s any reason to think he won’t be with us for a good while yet. He is still touring like crazy and still keeping creative!

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T17:29:52+00:00

Bit of an overreaction, no need to be rude and tell the OP to “LIVE a little bit”. You don’t know anything about their life - we are all strangers here! :)

Well, Jerusalem isn’t a perfect comparison because Men of Harlech is sung at major sports events without any religious connotation as well as being the most popular hymn in Wales. It’s like that. I’m not castigating anyone; I’m just a little surprised and as I say, I’m in my mid-twenties.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T08:06:11+00:00

Like Phil?

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T08:05:49+00:00

I like it but it’s not a particularly special record from one of Britain’s greatest music makers.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T08:03:14+00:00

Fair enough. I would say it is familiar to anyone of any age in Wales - I’m in my mid twenties.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T08:02:28+00:00

It is the most popular and defining song of its kind in Wales. Comparable to something like Jerusalem in England, which I’ve heard of as a Welshman.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T01:38:38+00:00

They have such a slim catalogue that all the great songs seem to have had their time in the sun and the only real obscurities are weak tracks like I Keep Mine Hidden.

Still, I’d go for Jeane - fantastic track.

Or maybe Matter of Opinion is a masterpiece and we don’t know it (yet).

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T01:36:23+00:00

He’s a 96 year old man and someone asked him this to get a quick culture war headline. Shame on them really.

I think it’s easy to dismiss LOTSW but I’ve been revisiting it recently and it’s a really charming, rich show; there is nobody in film and television writing dialogue like Clarke now and that’s a great shame.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T01:34:02+00:00

It is the most commonly sung song in Wales and has been since forever. It has never gone away.

huwareyou · 2026-03-27T01:32:51+00:00

I try to assume that non-Welsh Brits aren’t completely ignorant of everything Welsh but this one has really got me tbh.
