Red / Orange Marbled Vinyl. "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" ist das zweite Album von The Bug Club und enthält das bereits veröffentlichte Highlight "Quality Pints" sowie weitere Wohlfühl-Songs wie "War Movies", "A Bit Like James Bond", "We Don't Care About That" und "Lonsdale Slipons". Die Platte erscheint als "Red & Orange Marbled Vinyl" LP. Auf "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" serviert die Band eine kräftige Portion ihres typischen Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets-Garagenrocks, bei dem sich B-52's "Call-and-Response"-Spaß mit AC/DC-Powerchord-Grunzen mischt. Die Eröffnungs-Doppelsalve "War Movies" und das zuvor veröffentlichte "Quality Pints" lehnen sich an den rasanten Punk an und geben den Ton an: Zweistimmige Pisserei, surreale Betrachtungen alltäglicher Themen, die den Kreis schließen und tiefgründig werden, Riffs den ganzen Tag lang und dann auch den ganzen nächsten Tag. "Quality Pints" befasst sich mit den dringenden Sorgen jeder gewissenhaften tourenden Band und beherzigt die Regel der drei R's, die von Mark E Smith von The Fall, einem berühmten Fan von Pints, aufgestellt wurde. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition. Wiederholungen also. Wenn es so wichtig ist, und das ist es, lohnt es sich, es noch einmal zu sagen. "War Movies" verbindet verzerrtes Tuckern mit einer umfassenden Best-Of-Liste des Genres, und Sam Willmett bietet ein Solo, das so lässig herausgeschleudert wird, dass dein Vater seine wiederaufkeimenden Ambitionen als Gitarrist sofort aufgeben wird. Die Melodie ist immer noch allgegenwärtig, und das witzig-metaphorische "Pop Single" zeigt Ray Davies von seiner selbstbewusstesten Seite. Wer nach einer Pop-Single fragt, bekommt sie auch - The Bug Club lassen sich nicht lumpen. Und es ist diese selbstbewusst alberne Art, die uns "Lonsdale Slipons" beschert, in dem endlich den schlechtesten Schuhen Großbritanniens in Songform Tribut gezollt wird, und "We Don't Care About That", das uns allen sagt, wir sollen aufhören, über viele Dinge zu reden. Du überlegst, ob du eine vorläufige Rezension über das, was du gerade hörst, verfassen sollst? Hör auf damit. "Better Than Good" hat dich auch hier im Griff. Du bekommst, was du bekommst, und zum Glück scheint jeder damit zufrieden zu sein - vor allem mit der Lo-Fi-Produktion, dem Violent-Femmes-Bass und dem Sterling-Morrison-Solo dieses Tracks. Am besten überlässt man die heißen Takes The Bug Club, meinen wir. Diese Platte gibt uns Recht. Red & Orange marbled vinyl. The way you're saying it, "prolific" isn't the right word for The Bug Club. You've got to say it with the trademark Welsh lilt and pay due homage to this inimitable band's origins in the renowned hit factory of Caldicot, South Wales. Do that, and you're about right with how to summarize a group who've released ten singles, two albums, two EPs, three things nobody knew how to describe, and an album under a different band's name, all since 2021, and while playing 200+ gigs a year. Initially comprising the songwriting core of Sam Willmett (vocals/guitar) and Tilly Harris (vocals/bass) with Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club started plying their trade in 2016. They were signed by UK label Bingo Records in Autumn of 2020. BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley was an early champion, hammering the single, booking the band in for a session as soon as it was allowed, and rightfully praising songwriters capable of singing the whole alphabet in a two-minute song and making it work. Third LP On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System - their first for Sub Pop - sees the band serve up a beefy slab of their speciality Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets garage rock. There's B-52's call-and-response fun mixed with AC/DC power chord grunt. Leaning towards fast-paced punk, opening double salvo "War Movies" and "Quality Pints" sets out the stall: duel vocal piss-taking, surreal takes on everyday topics that go full circle and become profound, riffs all day long and then all the next day too. "Quality Pints" deals with the pressing concerns of any conscientious touring outfit, taking to heart the rule of the three R's as penned by renowned fellow pints fan Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Repetition, repetition, repetition. If it's that important, which it is, it's worth saying again. "War Movies" dresses distorted chugging with a comprehensive 'best of' list for the genre, with Sam Willmett offering a solo casually chucked out in a way that will make your dad promptly give up any resurgent guitar playing ambitions. And "A Bit Like James Bond" tackles the UK's sleaziest undercover export at the same time as the embarrassing ego problem that besets much of its population - but it's only heavy(ish) in the fun, loads-of-riffs sense. So, that's what they've been finishing up during their massive month-long break from gigs. In a bid to avoid being branded layabouts, The Bug Club will support their upcoming Sub Pop release with a springtime tour of the UK and Europe beginning May 10, before heading out to the US in September.

Makes you think!
Format: School & Library Binding
Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel is all about figuring out why some societies became super powerful while others didn’t. His main idea is that geography and the environment had a huge impact. Basically, places with good crops and animals to farm had an easier time growing and becoming stronger. The book mixes history, science, and geography in a way that’s pretty easy to follow, even though it covers a lot. Some people think Diamond focuses too much on geography and doesn’t consider enough other factors, but it definitely makes you think differently about history and why the world is the way it is today. It’s a really interesting read if you’re into learning about why things turned out the way they did.

Great book
The narrator possesses a refined and compelling voice, and the author's writing style stimulates the mind. The author uses a tremendous amount of detail to avoid unnecessary/inaccurate generalizations and intentional/unintentional misinterpretations. However, the author executes this feat without allowing the reader to feel lost in mundane facts. I enjoyed the author's use of rhetorical questions to explore the viewpoints of persons who oppose his assertions. Overall, an informative and invigorating read. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever asked, "Why did certain people and cultures end up with so much, while others ended up with so little".

Guns, Germa and Steel Audio Version
A great audio adaptation of a great book. I listened to it on my commute to work. I have the actual book, but had no time to sit down and read it. If you are very busy, audio versions of books really work well.
