Coloured in a NEO/EX suit with some sort of height scale for some reason also, lmao. Was originally going to do an expression sheet alongside this, as well as some headcanons, but it's almost 5AM and I need to sleep, lmao.

I'll just dump some of my SNEO/SPEX headcanons here I guess!

8-10ft tall (haven't decided on an exact number, though I think the general consensus seems to be 10'3").

Kept piece of chest armour from original NEO getup for a tie accessory.

Speaking of, custom tie is bedazzled with kromer symbols. Matches the sparkling heels.

Floofy hair, but is constantly gelled back with off-brand hair gel. Needs to be ruffled extra hard for it to come undone.

Can fold his NEO canon back into his normal arm when desired.

Wears cheap, musky, stereotypical salesman cologne. You can buy him all the expensive ones all you want, he won't wear anything else.

Can detach and reattach wings to his body when he wants (didn't add them here because sleepy and wings hard).

Has a more calculated approach to sales/scamming than he did in his prime and corrupt years.

Car expert but has extreme road rage. Do not get in a car with him.

Chronic smoker.

Sleazy in general, but can be a sweetheart if you're on his good side. Sensitive.

Vocal tic and spam filters aren't as bad as before, but worsens when anxious, stressed or feeling anything intense, really.

Struggles with PTSD attacks. Shivers when he hears a phone ring.

Listens to retrowave/nostalgic 90s beats while sorting sales paperwork. Yearns for the good days, even now.

Ok, goodnight. :)

Liverpudlian horror pop group Zombina and the Skeletones – truly a band for whom every day is Halloween! – headlined at the Unskinny Bop Halloween party at Rich Mix on 26 October. This represented the first time I’ve seen them perform since 2006! Here are my photos from THAT gig at the Dirty Water Club at the Boston Arms in Tufnell Park in March 2006. (I seem to recall they all had fake blood capsules in their mouths they bit into for the first song). I interviewed them that night after their soundcheck for a now-defunct publication called Artrocker – I checked, and the link is totally dead (yet another article of mine lost forever into the ether!). Anyway, I’m happy to confirm the Skeletones still sound ferocious. If you’re not au fait with them, their lyrics are steeped in b-movie horror and science fiction imagery and their irresistible catchy-as-scabies music recall the early 1980s New Wave of the Rezillos, X-Ray Spex and the B-52’s. Add Zombina and the Skeletones tunes like “Don’t Kick My Coffin”, “Zombie Hop”or “Nobody Likes You (When You’re Dead)” to your Halloween Spotify playlist! (Speaking of which, here’s mine. Put it on “shuffle” for maximum listening pleasure!).

Colin and Jonny Greenwood are sitting knee to knee in the corner of the sofa in their hotel room in Cologne. When I enter, their conversation is about David Fincher's "Fight Club". Two minutes later, Colin is sitting opposite me. If it weren't for the coffee table between us, we would not only be talking eye to eye, but also knee to knee. Jonny sits to my left, pressed into the cushions, his head bowed, his hair in his face. His brother talks for him: "Jonny is interested in this, Jonny means that". Occasionally he follows up, then the two look at each other. Grin. Become that strange, slate-toothed, telepathic unit again. Make brother jokes. When Jonny talks to me, he keeps his head down, or turns it away, mumbles into the corner of the room. Jonny only talks about his music but he would obviously rather let music speak for itself. When I tell him about music and what kind of records you can get there, when names like Harvest, Sonig and Entepfuhl come up, he brushes his hair out of his face. Only when I mention Holger Czukay and that I meet him occasionally when shopping in the supermarket does he look at me with wide eyes.

No Skip Albums: Tag Game ✨️

I was tagged by the lovely @oldefashioned 💕

I love music, it's in my blood 🎶

Rules: Share the albums you can listen to non-stop. Those lightning in a bottle albums that scratch your brain just right. Every single track an absolute banger. You couldn't skip one if you tried. No notes, stunning, show-stopping, immaculate. Your no skip albums!

I'm only upset that it's limited to ten because I could go on. And there are a ton of artists that absolutely transport me but there are some songs that aren't for me. I shall pick my 10 and endure!

1. The Strokes - Is This It

I love all Strokes albums, and can listen to all of them song for song, but this one is extra special to me since it completely rocked my world when it was released. It changed me forever.

2. The Libertines - Up the Bracket

Again, I love everything the Libertines do. But this one specifically I can listen to all the way through and then over again immediately afterwards.

3. No Doubt -Tragic Kingdom

This has a special place in my heart because it's the first album I bought on my own. And it didn't disappoint because love all the songs. There was a time when I couldn't listen to Don't Speak because it was so overplayed on the radio. Thankfully I don't listen to the radio much anymore and nobody really plays that song much either.

4. Darren Hayes - The Tension and the Spark

I love all Darren's work, especially including Savage Garden. Their first album transformed me, but there one song on there I can't always bring myself to listen to. But this album, pure genius, a bit dark, but perfect.

5. Operation Ivy -Energy

This album is everything to me! It never gets old. I can pop it on anytime, and it's always exactly what I need.

6. The Hives - Tyrannosaurus Hives

It was definitely a toss up between this album and Barely Legal. But oddly enough, I'm not always in the mood for bratty punk. Weird. This is always a good time.

7. Rufus Wainwright - Poses

Poetic excellence, sometimes snarky, but always necessary. Again, I love everything Rufus does, but this album is just the most special for me.

8. X-Ray Spex - Germ-Free Adolescents

Pop this on when you really want to jam and stick it to the man! It doesn't hurt to yell this at the top of my lungs right along with her.

9. Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker

The man speaks to my soul. He sings his trauma, and it heals me somehow.

10. The Streets - Original Pirate Material

Another banger that has a special place in my heart. It's one that I can pop on in the car with my bestie, he and I can sing every line together. 💕

Thank you @oldefashioned for tagging me, girl. This was fun. I had White Stripes on my list too, but I couldn't fit everything I wanted on here. Like Arctic Monkeys, and Tame Impala, and the Ramones Rocket to Russia. That one hurt, but I had to make executive decisions.

No pressure tags: @thelostpurple @loganwritesprobably @renmackree and anyone else who feels like playing along!

freeze, @hcpebled's otavia

one should not speak ill of the dead but kie cannot help but mourn the fact that she never told nurse spex about what her grandson was up to before she passed.

"valerian started it," is what she manages to bite out, "and the snowblindness is not temporary. even though it should be. i'm not going to the white room - not for an act of self defense. spex junior should've kept his eyes, and his powers, in check."

GRRR CASS ISNT POP PUNK, SHES VERY MUCH INSPIRED BY RIOT GRRRL AND 90S-2000S SKATE PUNK/GRUNGE FASHION

[initial-lime]

Fuck it, music headcanon!

I think Jon listens to both punk (anti climex, X-ray spex) but also 2010’s pop (lady Gaga, Katy Perry)

Nothing gets you sorting documents like crust punk rock (speaking from experience)

X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents

When I saw this album on the list my heart grew three sizes and the rolling stone list bastards gained significant good will with me. This is possibly my favorite punk album of all time. It's got a sincerely rebellious attitude mixed with a heaping of camp. The day-glo aesthetics and prominent saxophone fly in the face of contemporary punk, but that little bit of deviance makes all the difference. The songs are so much more exciting for their quirks whether it's Poly Styrene's insane delivery on songs like I Can't Do Anything and Oh Bondage! Up Yours, or the 50s rock style sax lines on nearly every track. I permanently have the way she hits the R in rat on the line "Freddy tried to strangle me with my plastic popper beads, but I hit him back with my pet rat" living rent free in my head. It has to be heard to be believed.

The Cars - s/t

By all rights this shouldn't be a good album, let alone a great one. It's got this sterile synth new wave sound that is very 80s and for that it could be a little ahead of it's time. Now the hits on this album are huge, everyone probably knows Good Times Roll, My Best Friend's Girl, and Just What I Needed, but for my money I would suggest Moving In Stereo as the best track. It is more genuinely new wavey than the rest and has a synth line that I get stuck in my head every time. Usually I can actually pinpoint some quality of the music that I like, but for The Cars I think it might just be that they wrote magnificently catchy pop songs, and sometimes that's all you need.

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP

White people love to put Eminem at the top of best rappers of all time lists. This is bullshit obviously, but talk to the real hip hop heads though and they'll all agree he still belongs in the top 10. While his subject matter is controversial to say the least it is undeniable that his flow is one of the best and being produced by Dre means that this album just sounds fantastic. And speaking of Dre, the absolute peak of this album is the duet on Guilty Conscience where Shady plays the devil and Dre the angel on the shoulder of several characters. It plays out masterfully. If you can get into the kayfabe then Slim Shady's antics can be appreciated as the joke they're obviously meant to be and while some of the murder fantasy stuff is a little tasteless even for me there's just as much that comes through as intended. The biggest problem is that the joke wears thin halfway through and become just bleak for a few tracks, but it comes back around by the end.

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

The creative strife between Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno came to a head on Roxy Music's second album. The tension between art rock and sleazy glam may not have mapped to the tension between the two Briyans but the tension is there nonetheless. Glam rock was always a little surreal and this album takes that and runs with it on tracks like In Every Dream Home A Heartache which is about fucking a blow up sex doll, and For Your Pleasure which outros for four minutes with increasingly spacey drum and keyboards. A proper sendoff for Eno, and a great finale to the album.
