Surprisingly, the new Evil Dead film (Evil Dead Burn) is absolutely brilliant.
Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise weren't very good so this was a complete surprise. It captures the feel of the first one but with very elevated effect work.
The ending was a bit nubs but horror films are like rap tunes, they hardly ever nail the ending. It wasn't terrible though. Just a bit heavy on CGI.
Back before the whole MAGA thing, I used to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast. Don't judge. I watch a lot of MMA and so his was the podcast to go to for that sort of thing. Anyway, he had a supplement company called Onnit and he'd always go on about whatever stuff they were selling. And then it'd be like 'I've start taking [whatever] and now I've got so much more energy.'
Well, you were taking all sorts of shit before. And that was giving you energy/recovery/whatever. So how can this be giving you even more. Like how do you even judge that?
Back when I was doing Muay Thai I took a bunch of things but always had the nagging feeling they were doing eff all. So I stopped and I didn't feel any different. And why would it?
These days I take a little vitamin D and I have no idea why.
As for football. Eat well, train hard and play 4-4-2 and see what happens. It's got to be better than all this 'false 9' bollocks.
I remember some guy at college came up to me (I didn't know him) and said 'you're the Hendrix guy right?' and gave me a bootleg of 'The Jimi Hendrix Concerts' and this song came on and just floored me. It's just so good.
Swimming has its benefits but in terms of hard cardio gains, it's not as good. Yeah it's gentler but so is cycling or whatever. All good stuff but you get fitter quicker from running.
I started running back when I was 40 because I was doing Muay Thai (with lots of strength and conditioning work) but after a round I'd be gassed and would get lit up. I started running and everything got easier.
That said, my knees click when I use the stairs now but what can you do?
Not a park run but I decided to join a local running group. They do 5km on Wednesdays at 6.30pm. Yesterday was my first one.
It's weird because I've never been athletic ever. I spent my whole childhood playing on a ZX Spectrum and all my teens playing guitar.
But oddly, I can always seem to do a 5k with no training. I run like I'm dying and I've got the pace of a post-ACL Kevin Gallen but I'm pretty good at grim determination it seems. The only issue is that today it feels like I'm breathing in pure iron and my legs seem to want revenge on me for what I've done to them.
The thing is, you can't get this sort of cardio anywhere else. I've done gym stuff and spin classes and shit like that but it's f**k all. Running is the best fitness. You just have to be okay with having Mark Hatelely's knees.
Oasis... yeah I don't really get their appeal. I won't go as far as to say they're a bad band. But they're the definition of nothing special. Their music is the sort of thing where you can kind of guess where each song is going. You can guess the next chord. The chorus won't surprise you.
I can't think of one cool moment in a song that Oasis ever had. Just pure meat and potatoes strumming and singing.

There's a guy I know who does that annoying thing of liking Taylor Swift (and never shutting up about her) while also liking straightedge hardcore punk bands. It's a trick as old as time. Pick something poppy and irrelevant, pick something outlandish and pretend that gives you range.
However, whenever I'm presented with a band/artist I don't know (or like), I'll ask for their best tune. Tell me their best tune and I'll listen to it. And I'll listen properly. No looking at my phone or watching something. I'll give the song its rightful due.
He suggested four Taylor Swift songs. Not one of them was anything new/special. It was all mediocre. I mean look, female solo pop music isn't my thing but occasionally a song might have something about it. But Taylor's shit was just nothing. Not good, not necessarily bad. Just bland.
I did this once with Muse. I was in a band and one of the guys was like 'Muse are good' so I asked him for the best song. He ended up showing me a live video of them playing one song. It was 'punky' in that it was a bit fast and riffy. Utterly unremarkable. At one point the singer trips but styles it. It was deffo a trip but he pivoted and then made a point of smashing up his guitar like he's hardcore. You're not hardcore. You're a f**king ponce.
