I don’t even know where you’d start trying to pick a favourite Shack song, they’re all fucking brilliant and everything from Here’s Tom With The Weather especially is a folksy psychedelia Scouse belter.
There’s something about Meant To Be though that ooh, it just gets me *right there* every single time. Outside of performing alongside Arthur Lee, it’s Shack at their most Arthur Lee and Mick Head’s more recent performances of the song with the Red Elastic Band lean hard into that Love-like teeth-grinding, twitchy, urgency beautifully. Much more so than the rather chilled album version.

Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
