September 8th 2005

I think this might be one for the tinhat wearers, but HST was writting about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Hmmm, [...]

Gorse

September 8th 2005

How can anybody resist Gorse, with a description like this. “Gorse are from cornwall, their music is the soundtrack to driving your car off the lands end into the sea. It’s simple but highly effective, with some lyrical genius thrown in. They sing about cornish pasties, michael barrymore and 80′s shite”. Possibly Related Posts: Cold [...]
