I know all that. But I did learn the Messrs thing :)
Did you know that Messrs (ha) Lydon and Beverley were so obsessed with getting Syd Barrett out of his reclusive retreat and into the studio to produce them, that they camped outside his Chelsea house one night?
And now the ■■■■■■ wearing MAGA t shirts.
A bf of my older sister met him once and they didn’t get on. Art students incur his wrath for not being authentically working class enough I guess.
damn i actually missed the Lydon’s MAGA story :((
Alright everybody, it’s about to go down!

According to his uncle who used to go to Arsenal games with the guy I knew, the reason Wobble was sacked from Public Image was not as given at the time - it was because he was a Tottenham fan.

Godspeed You Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues
Sorry, but this is about the last thing I would ever listen to. I don’t really have much else to say about it.

The car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we’re on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said: "kiss me, you’re beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
For sure it’s the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it’s full of blood

Upsammy - Shaky Limbs
You probably knew you weren’t going to rate well after my commentary on the first category, as this is another electronic song without any lyrics to it. Didn’t really bring anything to the table that made me excited to listen to it either.

Oh man, did I really put you in 10th in back to back categories?
No bagel no bagel no bagel!
Bagel = nodium
Might be one for the records, probably a good question for the main thread.
As you say, I knew it was coming after your comments about electronic music last time.
I love the last place finisher so I don’t feel bad.
(Also, what integrity from me, I could have changed the entry and no one would have known! What integrity!!)

Clipping - Face (warning extremely NSFW lyrics)
Daveed Diggs is obviously amazing! Not to sound like a prude because it’s not like I took offense to it or anything, but I really don’t get any enjoyment out of music with this dirty of lyrics.

Type 41 - Ascension
I’m guessing this is @MysteryConman again with the purely electronic piece. I get what you’re going for with these submissions, but unfortunately not the style of electronic that I’m into.
