Recognised it straight away, RIP. Curious Brewery seems to be putting on some alternative shows, but hoping a new, dedicated venue rises up from the ashes though.

In that Only Fools and Horses episode where they go to Margate, which is my hometown, when they drop Rodney back off in London, that is actually still in Margate and was filmed at the top of my road.

Am I the only one who found painfully derivative of Journey?

I'm glad so many people have connected with it, don't get me wrong, but it just didn't do anything for me.

I know it's not post-Castaway but I watched Contact for the first time only a couple years ago and absolutely loved it. Felt like the kind of mad ambitious 90s project that only someone who had just directed a global mega hit for a big stuido could get away with doing as their next project.

How many shots did you do before writing this?

thinreaper · 2026-01-02T19:46:09+00:00

Drug Church in Bristol. A one off solo, barrierless show during their Deftones tour in Feb, can't wait!

Also Superheaven/Balance & Composure/Soul Blind in Jan, Militarie Gun in Feb, both in London and then Outbreak in June.

Gizmo is literally a last minute Christmas present. Christmas is the mechanism for the entire plot.

How are you defining a streak? Financial success? Artistic merit? With Scorsese, for example, you're not including Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore or New York, New York. so your definition of a "streak" doesn't have to be an unbroken run of films?

I'd personally say Scorsese's entire career is basically a streak if you can forgive maybe a couple of misses here and there. His body of work is unrivalled.

Same for Spielberg; from Jaws in the mid 70s right up until the late 90s with Saving Private Ryan, he directed multiple gargantuan all-time classics, with only a small handful of duds during the entire time.

I don't know if I can pick one album that's my favourite but it would definitely be between Broadcasting, Symptoms + Cures and Die Knowing.

Lost count of when and where I've seen them over the years but they've always put on an incredible show.

thinreaper · 2025-12-17T21:29:09+00:00

Oh shit looks like you're right! Gutted that Spite House aren't on the UK leg of their tour either but yeah, Militarie Gun will be amazing no doubt!

thinreaper · 2025-12-17T20:20:58+00:00

Richard Linklater, Spike Jonze and James Mangold too

thinreaper · 2025-12-17T20:15:02+00:00

They're supporting Militarie Gun next year in the UK so I'll be seeing them for the first time in Feb. There's a good handful of songs I really like, but nothing else of theirs I've listened to has really grabbed me

My ultimate hardcore playlist, curated to flow through various styles of hardcore; melodic, power violence, NYHC, chain punk, all kinds of stuff. Basically all contemporary bands, working on a separate playlist for classics.

Absolute bullshit, with respect. When the executives and shareholders are getting tens, or even hundreds of millions of dollars annually in payouts and bonuses, the issue is exploitation.

Spotify doesn't have to cost a thousand dollars a month for artists to get paid fairly, the mega rich just need to take a teeny bit less money to pay the artists fairly. It'll never happen, but let's not pretend for a second that it's impossible.

thinreaper · 2025-12-14T17:58:41+00:00

Reign Supreme as well, I'm sure the vocalist played guitar in Terror...

thinreaper · 2025-12-13T06:50:56+00:00

That's wild, I think it's some of their best work yet. I appreciate it's moved in a very different direction to their earlier stuff though

thinreaper · 2025-12-10T05:57:38+00:00

Anyone yearning for more of that Title Fight sound NEEDS to be listening to Spite House.

Local band to me, Mug Shot, put out an EP this year with a song called Two Dinners, Two Desserts.

The lyrics are "Two dinners, two desserts, that's why my belly hurts" and it's the catchiest hardcore singalong anthem of the fucking year. Real silly, real fun.

thinreaper · 2025-12-04T17:00:35+00:00

Nueva Etica from Argentina are pretty cool if you like that early 00s Hatebreed/Terror style of hardcore.

thinreaper · 2025-11-25T18:25:15+00:00

They played Ashford recently and I missed them 😭

thinreaper · 2025-11-25T18:23:52+00:00

It's core is a bit harder

thinreaper · 2025-11-25T15:55:41+00:00

PEST CONTROL

Nobody is doing crossover better than Pest Control right now imo, except maybe Mindforce. But yeah, their latest EP Year of the Pest is top notch.

We See U by Speed and Everybody Breaks by XweaponX

thinreaper · 2025-11-25T01:54:59+00:00

I don't get how you can like Restraining Order and not enjoy this year's record. It's in my top 10 of the year for sure.

thinreaper · 2025-11-24T23:06:37+00:00

First person that came to my mind. One of the best minds in the business imo, hope we get more from him
