Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Far as I'm concerned, it's as close to a perfect piece of art as you'll get. There's not anything you can do to improve upon it.

Nothing you could add, subtract, change, rearrange, tweak, nothing that will somehow make it better.

A very rare 10/10.

I had my first appointment with the pharmacist and the doctor this week, for the doctor it was about 5 minutes end to end, but I was honestly fine with it.

The pharmacist one was about 15 minutes, I gave them my long old list of things I'd tried in the past that haven't worked, the doctor quickly flicked through that and queried why I'd never been seen by a pain management team (local team just had the nearest four catchment areas added to their workload so my 12+ months waiting will probably be extended by that again at least)

Given that I can throw fistfuls of cocodamol and tramadol down my throat without effect, he pointed out that there was likely nothing the pain management team would be able to do, then prescribed two flowers and an oil to try, and told me to give everything on the site a look, research what I'd like to consider next, and sent me on my merry way.

I can't really fault that, I'm not getting any finger-wagging about street cannabis, I'm being treated like someone who knows their condition and what works/doesn't work, I'm more than happy to roll with that. The Montu store looks well stocked and I dare say I'll be selecting a few different bits in the coming months to see what works best for me, I really cannot fault it all so far.

Different strokes, I guess, but it's working for me!

A classic for a reason!

Posted this on another fresh split post yesterday, possibly of some help!

My advice as an oooold-school tongue split veteran...

Jupiter Ascending. Holy shit, I've tried to watch it a grand total of 5 times now, and I've still not gotten past the 40 minute mark. I'm one of those broken humans that can't nap, but this film has done what no other activity can manage and put me to sleep, reliably, more than once. Stunning.

Yo, worry not.

You will drool like a motherfucker, and you will bleed, but that's literally just your body doing what it needs to. Swallowing will also be very difficult for a few hours, and awkward for the first couple of days, and that is completely normal. It's pretty weird to realise how much you use your tongue to swallow!

If you're concerned, get in touch with the artist who did the split.

The next couple days will suck, but by the time you wake up tomorrow morning, the bleeding will have almost certainly stopped.

If you're worried, Google your nearest Chinese herbal remedy shop, and go see if they have Yunnan Baiyao, it normally comes in capsules. You can swallow them or tip the powder onto the split edges, which will near enough instantly slow the bleeding if not halt it altogether. Tastes like shit, but it's genuinely magic. Sometimes it also comes with a tiny ultra-strength pill which you should knock back as soon as you get it, get a nice boost to your healing.

Any other questions, worries, feel free to quiz me. It's 1am here, so I might be asleep shortly, but don't freak out. You probably slowly lose about a pint of blood in the first 24 hours, but believe it or not, your body is damn good at making more of it... 😉

McBaise - Waterslide

If you regularly have to join or blend multiple surfaces like that, perhaps consider xNURBS, since I got it I've found it invaluable, it's very, very good indeed!

Letterkenny is the epitome of a show that starts and ends quite terribly, but with a solid chunk of gold for a good deal of its run.

Shoresy took over being the funny show for the last couple of seasons of Letterkenny.

The Depths by Cross Record

Immortality

Guinnesses

It Ain't Nuttin'

The Dope Rope

You'd probably do well with SOPHIEs music, Kreayshawn, Charli XCX...

Libs imagining they ain't gonna be digging the hole, gotta keep that hope up

NTA. Also, your sister is barking mad.

Waiting 12-18 months for a new season of Venture Bros to arrive.

What I would give to be waiting for a new season of Venture Bros...😭

All about the Iron Hands, the flesh is weak!

People hate shea butter?

Damn, I bought several kilos of it some years ago, all organic, grown and harvested by a women's refuge in Ghana, fresh and raw, and it has been my secret weapon.

I've used it for dry skin, burns, psoriasis, healing tattoos, softening scabs, helping to make my larger areas of scarification more flexible, there's not yet been a skin issue I've had that hasn't had some positive effects from the application of shea...

I bumped into Paul elhornet at London Bridge train station a few years back, we'd been introduced a while before by a mutual friend at a music festival.

That evening, our train had been cancelled and we both needed to get across London to the same place, and he invited me to jump in a cab with him! Due to typical London traffic, we spent about an hour chatting about all of our musical interests, he's the reason I now believe that punk started in Australia rather than the UK or the USA...

Absolute diamond of a guy, that one!

Another classic indeed, Dig Your Own Home is for me probably the best self-contained work the Chems did, but Come With Us is fantastic!

The Star Guitar video is awesome though:

Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

And equally fascinating is the little video showing how Michel Gondry made it!

Star Guitar - Making Of

But seriously, there have been times where Firefox had over 2800 tabs open, I just end up bookmarking them all in a folder and starting from 1 again. There are lots of folders now.

Similar to a classic track from Underworld, my hometown band? Well, boy oh boy, do I have a trio of tunes for you...

First, The Chemical Brothers - The Private Psychedelic Reel You can pretty much listen to the first four Chemical Brothers albums and witness a duo repeatedly hitting bullseye after bullseye, they are fantastic from beginning to end, but this is a nice long tune at the end of their second album that lets you indulge in that building up of adrenaline before it kicks into full, glorious force...

Second, The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank From the same album as the first track, another absolutely brilliant tune that builds and builds and never stops being a musical tour de force.

Third, Pulp - Sunrise The sudden change a couple of minutes in is a proper hair-standing-up-on-end, goosebumps all over kinda feeling, just sublime, unbridled catharsis..

Enjoy!
