today’s program, the penultimate episode of 2025, was meant to be a full review and unboxing of the latest reissue of NME’s 1986 classic (?) ‘Unholy Death’ – a 7 LP + blu ray + coffee table book collection. Sadly, I misplaced my half dozen or so box cutters (these are like socks for me except they’re much sharper and cause more damage when you find them inside pockets) and I cannot get the fucking box open. As such, I am only able to speculate as to the quality of the unreleased demos, the quality of the blu-rays and the sheer lavishness of the coffee table book. But when you have imaginations like yours and mine (or at least mine), pricey material goods are no match for the power of the human brain. That being said, I could really use a 7th box cutter.
