al doesn’t mention the one about the guy who goes back in time so that his liquor bottle gets full again, but he does talk about some of his favourites:
Either Opera or my computer have literally just upgraded to be able to view this in the last half an hour. I always thought the joke was that there wasn’t anything there.

One of the things that’s fascinating about the UK Top 40 is that a device designed to be a pure expression of popularity also works as a reflection of so many other things. People buy songs: if enough people buy a song it gets into the charts, or to #1. Simple! But so simple that […]

The Notorious Bettie Page is a film about the good old days of porn. You know, when it wasn’t exploitative, and all the girls portrayed within were not only fun loving conspirators in an art project, but believed in Jeebus too.

So we get a winner, down on Brewer Street in Soho, the Glasshouse Stores was voted the number one pub of the noughties by those of us who voted. A nice pub sure, but so much better than the others? To find out why it scored so highly I thought I would canvas a number […]

#757, 25th January 1997 In 1997, talking about music on the Internet means USENET, a Gormenghast of diverging and reconnecting fora whose goblin tribes gleefully rampage through each other’s chosen lairs: a thread will start on alt.music.prodigy, then careen into alt.music.spice-girls via alt.music.misc, while Discordians and trolls plot to spread it still further.

Ten years ago tomorrow, I started writing a review of Al Martino’s “Here In My Heart”. I’d never heard the first UK Number One, and thanks to P2P networks I had the chance. Somewhere between starting the blog entry and finishing it, I thought of reviewing all of them. I had no idea how long […]

British Bubblegum Pop 1968-1972 “Sunday morning, up with the lark, I think I’ll take a walk in the park, Hey hey hey, it’s a beautiful day …” Daniel Boone, “Beautiful Sunday”, 1972 British bubblegum pop, circa 1968-1972 – as distinct from its more worldly and sophisticated American equivalent – is a pure insight into a […]

Here at Freaky Trigger we have realised that January has been a bit slow with output. A new year can put new strains upon our writers and what with Tom’s Guardian column and me embarking on a year without cinema, pickings have been slim. What was needed was something that would galvanise all the writers, […]
noes!
Gasp!
this needs to be an animated gif…
Always a worthy front page returner. But surely we are due a hardback special edition by now w/unfinished artwork, interviews w/the creator etc.
Don’t worry, the Ultimate Future Shock, Ultimate Edition will shockingly turn up some time in the Future.

I think to be unconditionally ultimate this should recurse back to the beginning from the final panel somehow. Also, GASP!
Has this vanished?
Gasp – and now its back!
Either Opera or my computer have literally just upgraded to be able to view this in the last half an hour. I always thought the joke was that there wasn’t anything there.
