Popping back into this hell hole with lightning speed just to note that the opening line of this ("Squeeze my cherry baby, so the juice can run down my leg"), has its roots in Robert Johnson's 'Traveling Riverside Blues'.

So, I think I'm done here. I no longer wish to use a platform operated by a man who bolstered and supported the re-election of a right-wing, fascist, wannabe dictator. If anyone wants me, I'll be on Instagram (dbpmccarthy). Take care.

I really hope I'm wrong, but I have such a sinking feeling about this whole thing. Still early days though...

Oh man. What a titan of contemporary music. No doubt there'll be a lot of focus on his work with Michael Jackson, but even if he'd never even worked with MJ, he'd still have one of the most illustrious careers in the history of popular music. Hell of a legacy. R.I.P.

One of the most appropriate album covers I've ever seen, because this album will take your fucking head off. Holy hell.

This is actually quite surprising considering how lukewarm the critical and financial reception for Kingdom was. Not that I'm complaining. I'll take all the Apes films I can get.

Thrilled to have stumbled across a copy of this in a St. Lukes yesterday for £4.50!! Only the second copy I've ever seen in the wild round here over the years. They had a run of the mill McCartney album priced up at £19, so I'm not entirely sure they knew what they had here.

Rewatched Batman Forever last night, and for a film that frequently gets so goofy, it's visually very dark. Borderline hard to see what's going on in certain scenes. Often the only source of light is strobing neon. Though also dark, Burton's Batman films were always well lit.

Say what you will about Batman & Robin, but at least the brighter visual aesthetic matches the much more light hearted vibe of the film. Forever is just such a muddled mess of movie in terms of the tone and visual aesthetic.
