is upon us. This would be the time when I would look back at all the stuff that happened this year and talk about it. That’s not happening of course. I’ll instead talk about things in the here and now, because that’s where I live. Down Under (to keep people safe) the cops will be wandering about with long rifles in the wake of the Bondi terror attacks. It’s always been a quasi police state down there, they should just cut to the chase and do it all the time. (to keep people with illusion of being safe). When I was in Paris 15 years ago the police were all swaggering around with long guns. It kept people safe…oh, wait a minute….
To end the year out nicely the Fairfax publication the Sydney Morning Herald have fired off yet another demented Trump opinion piece, this time about how the so-called fossil fuel industry is failing because…. Trump’s an idiot. I think that’s what it’s about anyway. I can only see the headline because it’s behind a paywall. Someone should inform these verifiable imbeciles that there is no such thing as fossil fuels.
What’s the fucking “Carbon Industry” anyway? These dicks make this shit up. These people are insane. The entire Fairfax media empire is on a Quixotic quest to implode into it’s own irrelevance. It’s quite fascinating to watch. It’s like a rusty classic car slowly disintegrating on the street. There’s grass growing up around the tires which are all flat on all the wheels. You can still see a vestige of what it once was, but It’s not going anywhere until the council mercifully hauls it away. It’s a tragic sight.
Here is a 1948 Fairfax. Once a good vehicle, now turning to dust.
Today I’m going out to lunch with bass player Gary. All his teeth are now starting to fall out, so I had to change the venue to a place that serves soup. He keeps telling me they’re just getting brittle with old age. Has Gazza ever seen a 12,000 year old skull with a full set of teeth? One exists. See below. It’s an interesting story. This week I texted the boys to see if they wanted to come over and play between now and NYE. Nothing…I don’t know what’s going on there. I’ll be taking it easy tomorrow. I probably won’t be drinking at all. I don’t drink much at all anymore, I just don’t get anything out of it. It makes me sleepy if anything.
Amid the soaring peaks and meandering rivers of Tràng An, Vietnam, a 12,000-year-old skeleton was recently found buried in a cave. Full set of teeth!
That’s all for 2025 unless something interesting happens at lunch today or at the Guitar Center where we’ll be going later to check out some axes. Update.. we get to this place , it’s a tiny Cajun restaurant in the wilds of New Jersey. It’s not open. I called the guy yesterday “Are you open tomorrow? ” “Yes, we will be open.” We arrive after it’s supposed to be open. There’s nothing going on, the place is dead. “Chief Black Cloud” aka as Gary strikes again. We leave and go to the first place I wanted to visit, the Suburban Diner. It was fine. I had Eggs Benedict, Gary had Moussaka, it was good. Hope everyone has a great 2026. Tomorrow I’ll be replacing the Xmas Special with a remastered version of the Slaughtermen 1986 Rock Arena show. It will go live at midnight Jan 1. That’s at the end of New Year’s day in case anyone cares.
Happy New Year!
(don’t let anyone tell you what to think)
Next year, the whole show only in much better quality
