SILENCE! #295
June 13th, 2021
YOU’RE JUST TOO TOO OBSCURE FOR ME, YOU DON’T REALLY GET THROUGH TO ME
OVER HERE! MAN ON! IN THE BOX! CROSS IT ONTO MY HEAD MY OLD SUNSHINE! WHAT WAS THAT?! WHERE ARE YOUR SPECS, REF?!
Ah, Footblurb. The beautiful game.
<ITEM>WELL, THIS WAS A MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ARSE TO EDIT!
<ITEM>Having said that, it was a delight for The Beast Must Die and Gary Lactus to welcome Dan Cox and John Riordon for a reasonably informal wag of chins.
<ITEM>But it’s not entirely informal, as Danny and Johnny, the Hitsville Brothers tell us tales of their experiences of running the Hitsville UK Kickstarter.
<ITEM>Inevitably, everything falls apart as the SILENCE!#295 experience becomes one of listening in to the rambling chat of the four men on the table next to yours. What kind of men are these? What drives them? What interests them? Well, in short: Jeff Bezos, their children’s relationships with super heroes, cosplay families, their dream Strontium Dog TV show and the music documentaries King Rocker, The Chills: The Triumph And Tragedy Of Martin Phillips and the Tina Turner doc, Tina. Oh, and Timmy Capello.
<ITEM>Anyone read any comics? Well sort of. There’s talk of Danny Hitsville’s Chris Claremont Completion Crusade, Paul Jon Milne’s Grave Horticulture, the forthcoming Pocket Chiller Speckle and Ash, Gareth Brookes’ The Dancing Plague, Gareth Hopkins‘ Ghosts In Things, LDN by Ramzee, Jim Woodring’s Jabba The Hutt and Thriller.
<ITEM>Finally there’s some reckymends, namely List Off, Three Bean Salad, The Office US, Laser Fart and, (as usual) Chart Music.
<ITEM> In long:

SILENCE! #264
March 15th, 2019
PUT A RED NOSE ON YOUR CONK AND LET’S STONK
Imagine world. Go on, close your eyes, imagine a world. Come on, Imagine a world. A whole world. Quickly! COME ON! NO, NOT THAT WORLD, IT’S TOO MUCH LIKE THIS ONE! THINK OF A BETTER WORLD! Ah, forget it. No, don’t bother.
Imagine a blurb. Okay? Good.
<ITEM>Uncharacteristically scorchingly hot on the heels of SILENCE!#263 comes SILENCE!#264! Too much? Never enough? Never mind, Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die remain consistently inconsistent.
<ITEM>We hope you enjoyed the SILENCE! Special with Gareth A. Hopkins, pick up a copy of Petrichor here.
<ITEM>BIG NEWS! We will be joining Al Kennedy for a special SILENCE! To Astonish Live! at the Glasgow Comic Con on June 29th. Come along and make it good! Not only that but The Beast Must Die will be exhibiting at the Leicester Horror Con!
<ITEM>The Beast has a few choice words to say about Neil Gaiman’s Writing Masterclass and Lactus has a few random words regarding the experience of watching Ant Man and The Wasp on screens of various sizes. Mr. Die has also seen half of Ready Player One but I hardly think that’s enough for him to have formed an opinion about it. THINK AGAIN!
<ITEM>Come with us to Reviewniverse, with The Female Furies, Doomsday Clock, X-Force, Captain Clyde, Emotional Data: Test Tube Sugar Baby, The Quiet Place, the Captain Marvel Movie and you of course!
<ITEM>To see you out there’s some Dadmin regarding Hey Duggee (good) and Bing (anxiety inducing). Gary bemoans the ridiculousness of iTunes (please rate and review us) and The Beast recommends the Chart Music podcast.
<ITEM>No more items, just listening.
