Hyperbole: Beefs and love, again and again

Hyperbole: Punk is dead but music is free

Hyperbole: Back to the Phuture
IT TAKES me a couple of seconds to realise that the Third Davyhulme Scout & Guide Marching Band are playing Hit The North as they turn onto Deansgate in front of us. Somehow their spirited instrumental rendition of Mark E Smith’s tale of us...

Hyperbole: Sweet dreams
HOLY verbosity, scream insanity! All you ever gonna be is another great fan of me .. posting twice in the same week. Yes, it’s a veritable shit-storm of uninformed opinion, reckless conjecture and outright lies. What can I say? Buy an umbrella. Me ...
Hyperbole: Old punks don’t die, they just go online
STUFF that has been floating my boat this week: Although it’s new to the Expletive Undeleted blogroll Kill Your Pet Puppy has been online for just over a year. It’s a blog by the same people - Tony D, Al, Penguin - who put together the le...
Hyperbole: Doublethink Babylon and Ten Inches Of Fear
SEVENTY years ago to the day, the tall, gangly figure of Eric Arthur Blair - retired colonial cop, one-time down-and-out, Paris plongeur, Spanish Civil War veteran and the author and journalist known as George Orwell - was loping around the gardens o...
