the quietus : the new look

The actual language I saw on Twitter was:

The Quietus has regenerated.

Welcome to our new realm of cultural discovery, devilment and debate.

I'm old enough to have seen too many media outlets (especially ones emanating from TERF Island) use language like that to signal a pivot to "iconoclast"/"contrarian" editorial perspectives that boil down to middle-aged right-wing bullshit in a leather jacket. And since my only exchange with the editors, some years ago, was an unpleasant one (they asked me to write a review, but only on the condition that it was negative), I was suspicious.

You can't Quiet Us, woke moralists

it's called humour, unperson.

i am just rather chuffed that the 4 (thomas dolby, age of chance, don letts, and foetus course),
interviews i did for them, have been ported across to the new site.

"foetus course" : "foetus of course"

What wine goes with foetus

Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel (Of Cheese)

"Culture Countered" is a bit rubbish (not sure if that's always been there though)
