    The energy levels required to commit to this in order to post on a patchy inconsequential Scottish football forum. Millions of other forums who would welcome little right wing keyboard clumpers yet PnB is the (only) one they really want to be on. Am not one to judge anyone's life goals or pastimes, but honestly 🤣........

    Someone must have upset him on here in the past, no one sane person would do this as a hobby and even hours watching porn has to be more constructive. This is probably someone with a grudge and is willing to spend time and maybe even cash on circumventing this little corner of the internet's forum rules again and again to get their little hit of dopamine and happiness, which obviously doesn't last. And he does the same thing over and over again, same posting style, same turn of phrases and words. Then gets mad when someone recognises him.

    I'm not that tech savvy, how does he get away with registering so many accounts, would he be using specific soft wear for this or just spending money on old mobile phones for their IP addresses, asking for a friend?. There must be dozens and dozens of made up e-mail addresses and random ip addresses of his different accounts.

    I appreciate a good well thought out trolling, but there comes a point when it stops working and becomes tedious and that's usually after the first time the act is played.

    I'm not going to talk much more on this, but its heartening to see that the forum's contributors care a lot about this forum and therefore how much this wee corner of the internet really means to them enough to do something about people like that. ................and it was entertaining.

    Good work, chaps.

    You have to wonder what triggers them to open another account and try, try again. Maybe the waxing of the moon?

    The Snowy account was likely replaced yesterday within minutes of being emptied. Keep his head down for a while, unless he's stupid enough to announce himself once again as a new poster. Main character will be main character and all that.

    In the meantime he'll just have to make do with the @Johnny Martin account since this one hasn't been rumbled yet. Or he could just use one of his still active sock puppet accounts like the @Razzy one, it seems an awful waste of internet space.

    My own fault a year ago for getting myself involved in the eye bleeding carry on in the politics forum. Had to step away from the forum for personal reasons just after the bannings, came back a few weeks later to find my account had been tag teamed for days by that moron with his sock puppet accounts despite my stupid belief we @Duries Air Freshener had an agreement that enough was enough, so I had a bit of a heads gone and deleted everything, I mean everything, I wasn't in a good place at the time. So yeah heads gone and account wrecked. Deleting posts at the time felt therapeutic because of the meticulous process but wow, it just showed how low I was at the time to even do that.

    I'm glad I didn't get involved this time, but you guys already had him sussed and were amazing.

    The whole fishing trip going wrong and then imploding back in his face and seeing the mask slipping, you could just feel his growing rage. It was just hilarious.

    Thanks. 🤣 👍

    Remember when the Boo Radleys sounded like this -

    Hard to get on LP never came out on other formats and this as before they signed to Creation. I received my copy as a promo from APT record distributors. Always chuffed when I get hold of an album from a band that would go on to bigger things.

    Saw them support Dinosaur Jr in 1990 or it might have been early 1991 at the Barrows and I think I was the only one who was familiar with these songs at the time, no one there gave any clue that they were familiar with them. They were received well by the crowd at the end. Not as polished as the following two albums (before they changed to a more Britpop sound) but this has a charm of its own. Fave track Catweasle.

    One of the Swirlies greatest songs released as a single in 1996 and received absolutely no radio play over here. Maybe because American indie rock/ noise rock and shoegaze had fallen out of favour due to music media favouring Britpop, triphop and even John Peel was playing more and more dance music, artists closer to home and Welsh indie bands singing in Welsh. A mini revival came in 2001.

    Swirlies were one of my favourite bands of all time, I still play their music. Bit of an enigma though, John Peel played many of the tracks of their first full length Blondertongueaudiobaton on his show and tried to get them in for a session but they never replied back. Ivo Watts Russell boss of 4AD Records was a fan and one of his regrets was along with Low was not signing them to the label. Although the Swirlies could be labeled shoegaze they sounded nothing like their contemporaries. Their main songwriter and lead vocalist Damon Tutunjian described their sound as chimp rock, going by the 'chimp' 'chimp' sound he would get out of his guitar set to quick tempo and sound changes. They would go from loud to quiet and then play fast then slow right down all the time giving of a DIY low-fi style. Problem with the Swirlies was that they never grew further than being a minor Boston band mainly due to as mentioned avoiding bigger labels and picking small local labels to release 7'' singles with only 500 copies. They could have been as big as Ride or Slowdive.

    Going to see Flyying Colours at Broadcast in Glasgow in September. Love the new album.

    I've missed so much good music over the last few years including Flyying Colours.

    The track at the top of the page Wavygravy is the first track ever I've heard from them and I'm impressed. This is one of their first releases so looking forward to catching up to present day. I'll give the new album a play later on bandcamp see what its like.

    They don't get much of a mention when the genre comes up. Spotlight Kid were one of the best artists in the early 2010's, Disaster Tourist was my introduction to them. As far as I know they are still going but not putting out much material and I'm hoping they resurface sometime soon. I picked 'All is Real' from the Disaster Tourist album and their cover of Dinosaur Jr's 'Budge Up' from their most recent album from 2014 Ten Thousand Hours.

    I've been listening to the music of Scott Cortez since 1999, the huge space left by the lack of MBV material made me look around for similar, never heard his musice ever played on radio, not even John Peel. Cortez has a few projects floating around one which is more dream pop called Lovesliescrushing which is also worth a listen. Also the name Pinkshinyultrablast is the name of an Astrobrite album from 2004.

    Hard to get on vinyl or cd, some cds are selling for over £50 on E-bay from Japan. Good thing there is bandcamp page https://astrobrite.bandcamp.com/
