Richard Jobson’s career fits perfectly into the old saying
‘Why dazzle with brilliance when you can baffle with bullshit’.
The Skids were a fine live band, but when Adamson left
they finished up sounding like the Proclaimers on methadone.
Meanwhile Jobson’s journey up his own arse continues,
all style no substance

Jobson is a twat, full of his own talentless hype, he was fortunate to be involved with stuart adamson, but lets face it he cant carry a tune in a bucket, anyone can make films music etc, just to do it doesnt mean you are good, jobson will soon be on his arse when his films finaly go down the pan, lets hope its sooner than later so we dont have to suffer his drivel any more.

I drink a fair bit of alochol. My last violent episode was when I was 16, before I drank alcohol.

That wouldn’t be a causal link then.

If the film had been 16 Years Of Alcohol Related Violence I would have been happier (my other criticism still hold).

Certainly it is a very complicated idea to really understand. Do any of us really understand it? I don’t think I do. Try asking me if I think alcohol and violence are related, and I bet i might think about it for ages and still guess wrongly that it isn’t. And i’m really clever!

Maybe Pete Baran doesn’t understand that often alchohol and violence are related…maybe he STILL didn’t understand that after watching Jobson’s film..
Maybe somebody should sit Baran down very gently and explain a few things to him…slowly…and don’t use any long words.

Knowing Richard Jobson there is one certainty and that is that he will learn and improve - I wish I could get a bet on that!

It definitely needs a design overhaul, but some of these articles are pretty good actually.

The Skids were great! “Iona” is the post-punk “Mull Of Kintyre”! I didn’t mind him on 01 For London either!

But then I grew up in Central Scotland in the late ’70s so obviously I’m biased…

larkin than lacan = tick vg! googling his own name and then http://freakytrigger.co.uk/author/pete/

imagine if critics could leave comments on the end of the films they’ve reviewed, that are on display for everyone subsequently watching. corr

does NOBODY look at the dates these things are written? do they assume that because something is on the fifth page of google it must be new…

…what has old jobby being doing for the 18 months then? oh i see, writing a blog like the rest of us ;) might want to get someone to actually design his website too, what a shocker…

Sadly, Pete has spent the last two years doing little but googling his own name.

Thanks for that Pete, full of the milk of human kindness - any chance of looking at or listening to what you’ve done in recent years.
