This week’s cultural misfeasance what is The Waiting Room, continues to stumble ever onwards toward a serious contravening of the Trade Descriptions Act (1968), what with persistently dashing promises of professional maturity. Such lofty notions & ambitions can, one is assured, be stuffed up The Man’s pock-marked arse.

To the Batmobile!

Mr. Fisk (& his perversely odd view of just about everything) is back, as is The Toad (off of Song, By Toad) with a particularly potty-mouthed take on the history of genre Hip Hop (viewed, daringly, via a pair of white 30-something Middle Class eyes), as well as the perennially poorly one half of (This week? A cold. Man Flu. The sniffles, with a bit of a throaty cough. The wobbling, moaning gay).

Musically, you may get your self equal parts gristle-stiff & glisten-sticky over Man Man, Cloud Cult, We The They, Fleet Foxes, Deer Tick, Port O’Brien, The Social Services, Pattern Is Movement, Forest City Lovers & the very much in evidence many more.

That, then, as we say, is all (for, as always, now).

x ½DC + Mr. Fisk

p.s. the promo fliers each contain a detail from L.S. Lowry’s Father & Sons (1950. Oil on canvas). Lowry is a particular obsession of one half of’s & it has taken him until now to worm one of Lowry’s works into an advertisement for the show. Still, you won’t forget those eyes in a hurry eh?
