...still we wished the seconds could be years...

About Me

I am a collector/afficionado/perveyor of all things dark and wonderful...from the faintly ridiculous to the overwhelmingly sublime. Ask and ye shall recieve, said a book once.

Shane MacGowan... unconsciously brilliant. You
can intelligently debate any topic from
theology, history, literature and philosphy...
though only while you're out of your skull on
booze.

Which fucked-up genius composer are you?

The Point.

My last blog was not a mere rant about cheesy porn music, but a statement of the fact that because SOMEONE used that terminology it is now a part of our vernacular. This is offensive to me when wrong ...

Anger...

The douche who decided that Bom chicka wa wa is the soundtrack for 70’s porn is an idiot. Who the fuck made this decision? 70’s porn soundtrack is either classical or scratchy Stratocaster...
