Writing on Games

My review of 007 First Light:

Saw Deaf Club tonight. Most fun I've had at a show in aaaages. Could not stop grinning the whole time. Absolutely schooled every other band ever. Everything Justin Pearson touches turns to gold. Fuck cops, fuck Lufthansa, long live Deaf Club

New response to any comment I ever receive online:

Watching old Fantomas interviews. This one in particular, where they talk about Dave Lombardo's old bandmate Kerry King, is incredible. One can only aspire to reach this level of Hater. Masters of their craft in every conceivable way

Been about a month since we left to go on tour and I'm missing it/these people very very dearly. More loud music in rooms crowded with people and love please

Might be my favourite Simpson's joke ever.

Ultimate Drummer is officially the first platformer where you can also make your character do a d-beat. Thoroughly impressed

Absolutely INSANE sold out show in Berlin tonight. Up there as one of my favourites ever. So ludicrously energising to play this stuff

Interesting one last night. People seemed to think it sounded really great out front, but we were fighting the sound on stage the entire set. Also turns out a massive boat doesn't make for a venue particularly attuned to our various accessibility needs. Glad people liked it though. Laughed a lot.

Amongst the barbarism of American bloodthirst and the threats and the violence, there's something that feels quite poetic about playing antifascist metal to crowds of people absolutely losing their shit. Shout-out to the legion of trans folk down the front going harder than anyone else

Culthe Festival was some of the most fun I've had playing a show in ages. Incredible crowd. Someone afterwards said to the vocalist that, based on my stage presence, I was "cocky," which made my day. Love playing in this band, man

Hard to think of a better show to start a tour with than that one!

Digital Foundry forgot the rule

Embarrassingly I have become this man

I have a million things to do and yet I have decided to make another grindcore EP/potential album on a whim. I have several I need to finish (shout on) already

I need you all to know I have watched this video One Hundred Times and I can't stop laughing at it

Spent the last few weekends rehearsing with All Men Unto Me prior to our set at Roadburn in April. So much fun had with the best people. At one point my ear protectors slipped during a song and I felt like my head was caving in from the sheer volume of it all. Fun!

Been a mess of stress and anxiety the last wee while but playing new songs with Civil Elegies at absolutely absurd volumes cheered me up a bunch.
