138 - Godspeed You! Black Emperor, DVNE, Hiraki and Bruit ≤

Remfry's had his first vaccination much to Steve's chagrin. Irrefutable proof that the NHS believe Remfry is a better person than Steve (guess who's writing this episode description).  In other far less exciting news, Daron Malakian has stated that 'guns are essential' in response to a frankly bizarre (and pretty crap to be honest) cover of BYOB by GunDrummer, a musician / irresponsible gun fetishising lunatic who replicates beats and drum patterns using firearms. In his defense, it's a better use of guns than shooting people, so you carry on Mr. GunDrummer.  And a group of songwriters who collectively have writing credits for some of the biggest artists in pop music (Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, One Direction, Michael Bublé, Lorde, Shawn Mendes and Selena Gomez amongst others) have formed an advocacy group called The Pact to raise awareness and prevent pop stars from taking writing credits on songs that they didn't write. Naughty naughty pop stars...  Albums reviewed this week are G_d’s Pee AT STATE’S END! by Godspeed You!
