Time to see what's going down in Journaltown! No, I never was down with the kids: it's a constant source of regret for me...

Deathcore Month continues in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ite-about.html where he's looking at (and laughing at) Suicide Silence.

A new journal this week as http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-too-cool.html, and tells us about Scritti Politti, The Cure and Subway Sect. Also Legendary Pink Dots and Mark Berry, better known as Bez, or that wanker with the shakers!

http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html this week come from the KLF as innerspaceboy climbs a mountain and watches the sky, awaiting their prophesied return. Time is running in, apparently. There's also discussion on games, and Batty scores a hit you won't want to miss.

Machine's talking about one of his own songs in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...reciation.html

while Neapolitan continues to explore http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...dern-rock.html with Kosmonautentraum (yeah, they're German)

which is not something you can say of Pinegrove, who feature in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ower-punk.html.

And that takes us back to me. We've moved on to Supertramp in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html, with a return for http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...l-journal.html where we're checking out the first Meat Grinder of the new year while also reprinting the first part of my article on the NWOBHM. http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...c-journal.html gets going with Guillame Dufay and there's another chapter of Watchmen in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-2000-ad.html. Shark Tales are coming in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ox-office.html but until then there's Ingmar Bergman's classic The Seventh Seal to read, and we wrap up 1969 in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ive-metal.html with Amon Duul and It's A Beautiful Day.

Funny Post


of the week
goes to the ICP, the Insane Clown Prince, for trolling poor innerspaceboy on this one:

Yer a bastard, Batty! Hope you're not too emotionally scarred, ISB!


What is that smell? Baldric, have you been eating dung again? No? Then it can only be the stench of decay and decomposition that emanates from the area of

This is an example of what I mentioned when I began this little tongue-in-cheek look through some of the less successful attempts at journals here, the instance of someone having a great idea but never following through on it, losing interest or just letting the thing die. On the face of it, quite an interesting journal, but sadly it just never got off the ground. We didn't even get one single album spoken of or discussed or even mentioned in http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...your-time.html. We had one post, which advised that albums would be added every Monday and Thursday, one “good luck” post and then nothing. Nada. He's dead, Jim. Never even had a chance to live. Sad.

Graveyard Ranking: Not even a hole in the ground this time. Just, well, nothing at all. A grave that was never even dug.

And that's it for this week.
Toodles!
