SAT500: Best Bassist Of All Time
Bassists suck. Suck it, Reuben. Milo. Les Claypool - Primus Sure, I'm a Fleabass boi at heart, but today I must think with my head (wOaH mate, that's a first) and say that Les Claypool is simply the best rock bassist on the planet -- and I bet he could take on some of them…Read more SAT500: Best Bassist Of All Time

Rock's ugly cousins, spawn of Sabbath, the Devil's ditties; call it what you want, metal fucking rules. Milo. Black Sabbath Black Sabbath are metal. Wait, lemme put the right stress there.

Top Ten Songs Over 6 Minutes (REDUX) – Milo
Milo here. About a year and a half ago now (yes we've been going that long....), I posted my original top ten songs over 6 minutes and, looking through it, apart from the fact that I got Chic's Good Times mixed up with Le Freak (bad Milo), it's still a pretty deesh list. BUT IT COULD ALWAYS…Read more Top Ten Songs Over 6 Minutes (REDUX) – Milo
Dazed and Confused (1993) Review
L-I-V-I-N Yo, this be Reuben. I recently gained access to Sky Movies, so for whatever reason last night I decided the first film I'd use this privilege for would be Dazed and Confused. I mean, I know it's a cult classic, but damn that DVD cover always looked so off-putting in HMV. Written and directed…Read more Dazed and Confused (1993) Review

Without Warning, The Wizard Walks By. Yo, this be Reuben. Bear in mind this before you read this review.
