Qu : How do you spell tinnitus?

I'm just back from my early birthday present from a mate - [a ticket for] Motörhead at Manchester Apollo. Danko Jones were supporting: BONUS! And they were no letdown, though I'm now convinced their eponymous frontman is completely bonkers ... (particularly during his Pearl-Jam-"Jeremy"-style rant in Mountain ... see for yourself), . So there's no point me listening to Blimpcast4 or any music now whilst I chill out before bed, as I can't hear a soddin' thing over the deaf&numb-ness in my lugholes.

But back at the gig, and in amongst the old faves - Killed By Death, Overkill, Iron Fist, Stay Clean, Ace Of Spades, Over The Top - we got a reminder that, in Lemmy's own words: "Life is full of surprises". The first tonight was a passable cover of Rosalie dedicated to Phil Lynott, and as for the second . . . well if you thought Motörhead were one-dimensionally about high-speed, high-volume rock&roll, watch this -



and listen to these -

Motörhead - God Was Never On Your Side
Motörhead - Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me

And extra bonus points for anyone who can identify the target of Lemmy's vitriol in both of those two songs.

Goodnight all. I'm busy all weekend and working away from my internet connection all next week, so with the possible exception of drinks with fourfoot and Abahachi, won't see any of you for a bit.
