Indie Rock Porn

No, seriously. It is. Over 18s only. You will be amazed to see an XXX site – actually it’s barely half an X – with all the defensive snobbery you know and love from your favourite zines (“for men who actually get laid” sets the tone nicely). All the women are skinny and have awful music taste (or claim to). None of them look remotely like indie rock girls. Which is a shame ’cause I’d pay good mon…ahem. Only joking.

I was wondering what stuff would come up in related articles when you posted that climate change story, Tom. Actually, I bet you were wondering too.

Yes this one crops up in a few sidebars. This is from a more innocent time of course, indie rock porn is now all over the shop, at least it was the last time I looked at Pitchfork.

Gnome Man’s Land
11 Jan 2016 I wrote a thing for here about David Bowie and how I felt about him and what he meant to me, but then Pitchfork kindly decided they wanted to run it, so it’s below. (Original title: He Could Be Dead, He Could Be Not, He Could Be You). And to any other good pieces I […]

30 Apr 2000 April 2000, Piccadilly The sun comes out over London and the Summer starts: everywhere you look you see people in love, snogging on the tubes and holding hands on the escalators so you can’t get past them. Baggy shorts and halter tops all over the place, kids sitting together on Eros and choking on the […]

4 May 2010 #601, 19th December 1987, video In the comics series Phonogram, there’s a scene in which the – kind of horrible – pop DJ Seth Bingo and his indie collaborator Silent Girl are struggling to work a recalcitrant dancefloor into life. Their solution? “Play the Blondie!” – a copy of “Atomic” which literally glows as it’s […]
