Astonishing Sod Ape

A pika sits on a mossy rock.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Zine trilogy? Completed it m8.

EASTBOURNE PIER bitches, act accordingly.

Another rager of a gig in Eastbourne last night: Safe Harbour, Chub and Snake Eyes. The venue this time was the Belgian Cafe. Here's some photos. #Eastbourne

Sacrificial Violence and Retribution We explore the responses to the killings of Jordan Neely and Brian Thompson as a way to understand the different forms of violence that are contending in our society today.

Unsurprisingly, fascism looks a bit different this time around than it did a century ago. But it already has its Henry Ford, its autocrats, its scapegoats against whom to direct anger, its sacrificial violence.

We should have no illusions about what we're up against.

The appetite was always there, I think it just took a few mega organised / pro-active people to jump start something. Now it has a good momentum. Check out Eastbourne Music Collective on FB / IG for info about upcoming gigs. They list their own stuff plus what other promoters are up to.

I wrote a whole zine a couple of months back about the heavy music scene explosion here. It's amazing to have a front row seat to it all 💪🏼

They are a regular thing now thanks to the Eastbourne Music Collective, Tinnitus Gigs and a few other promoters 💪🏼. Last one was on Eastbourne Pier just before Christmas

Hello to everyone I've followed within the last 24 hours. It's purely because you have at some point mentioned Akercocke 💪🏼.

Believe In Nothing live in Eastbourne last night. Their live debut was in May '24 & since then they've left a nasty scar across Sussex. The singer moves to Scotland early in 2025 so local gigs are likely to be less frequent, but they just signed to a great label so they have plenty more to come.

The Defamation Project live in Eastbourne last night. They play erratic noisy metal with interludes, like a bunch of the more wacky Mike Patton bands with a bit of Primus. It's a father and some combo and the drummer may be young (under the mask!!) but he's an absolute fucking monster on that kit.

Blood Gutter from Brighton came over to play Eastbourne last night. They were absolute gents and they tore the crowd a new one.

Mortal Karcass playing Eastbourne last night. They play blackened hardcore / death metal type shit.

Let some have a go of my camera last night and in the space of about 2 minutes he proceeded to take the best shots of the night!! (Band: Believe In Nothing. Gig: Eastbourne).

JUST IN! 'Artifacts For An Empty Tank World' by Jailcell Recipes

Eighteen-track compilation from the hardcore punks formed in Wigan during the mid-1980s, who supported the likes of Bad Brains, All, Gorilla Biscuits, and Youth Of Today.

Musk’s tweeting behaviour mapped.

Notice both the hours and the intensity. It’s clearly an addiction bundled in with spiralling narcissism. Will be interesting to see if there is a crash at some point.

Monstrously heavy gig tomorrow in Eastbourne - sold out!!!

Cool about the JUDGE Chung King reissue but how can it beat the o.g?

#NowPlaying Weight Shift. - Hales from Aether, 2024

Fucking hell, this is awesome. Dirty, dirty, sludgy doom with oodles of grungy groove. The drums are so in your face it's like you're the pillow in the kick.

Track two is like the bastard child of Alice in Chains, Mastodon and Eyehategod.

Wow.

Same!! It's great 🔥🔥🔥
