Buggering Barry.

My wife works for a charity supporting victims of domestic abuse and there is a really high proportion of perpetrators who are serving police officers. This is not to say it's entirely representative of the problem because there are other factors that skew this (i.e. victims with greater economic means are less likely to seek support from a charity) but aside from the proportion it's a high number. Just counting those she's encountered, excluding victims who don't seek support from a charity, excluding those that deal with her colleagues or other charities, it's a loving lot of police officers within the area who are perpetrating domestic abuse.

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
Tbh all the coppers or copper equivalents I've ever known personally have always been 'decent' while clearly also enjoyed asserting themselves and have had very firm views on right and wrong (they're right) and who's good and who's bad (they're good), with very little thoughtfulness or self reflection.

I don't think those ones are domestic abusers necessarily, but it's no surprise at all that domestic abusers are attracted to the profession.

Hah I lived next door to thighpaulsandra when I was a kid. Great guy, always used to get me free tickets to Spiritualized gigs and to festivals they played at. Glad he's doing okay.

That's really cool. He certainly seems to be doing really well.
His solo material is absolutely bonkers in the best way, modular synth weirdness that leaps from avant-garde modern classical to ultra heavy krautrock in a single track. Though his tendency to push the envelope of taste so hard that it inverts frightened Julian Cope so much that he was kicked out of his band. It looks like no one has been brave enough to put up the most explicit homoerotic sadomasochist sleeve photos* on Discogs yet. (Hmm new project...?) The insert with a fully erect full frontal nude in Double Vulgar II along with lyrics about spilling his seed on the back seat of the Variety Club Sunshine coach etc. was probably the last straw for poor St Jules.
*There's a hilarious story about some guy visiting his farm while the rest of Coil were there and being greeted by a scene of John Balance just chilling out in the sun watching their nude dancers the Anarcocks practise moves while Sleazy and Thighpaulsandra were busy doing a photo shoot in one of the barns and deep in conversation about whether or not the model needed more viagra and/or fake blood.

Here's a brief taste (pun not intended but apposite), a banging 3 and a half minute excerpt from what is a ten and a half minute long epic.
Video is dripping (okay this one's intentional) with NWSness even though youtube don't seem to have noticed so link broken. E: to add Trigger warning: includes some scenes of simulated violence. Profuse apologies if I caught this too late.

Red Queen is a track on the beautiful, glacial Musick To Play In The Dark album so some confusion there.
You're thinking of their rerelease of the first two albums Scatology and Horse Rotorvator as parts 1 and 2 of the Stevø, Pay Us What You Owe Us! series. Links go to those versions so you can check which cover you are thinking of, Note: some workplaces may consider Scatology's cover NWS because of nude backside in inverted crucifix.
Aimed at Stevo/Stephen Pearce of Some Bizarre who kept rereleasing/licensing these two albums without paying Coil anything.

Coil website around 2001 posted:

After several comments and questions on the Coil mailing list regarding the inclusion of the phrase "Stevø, Pay Us What You Owe Us!" on the covers of the recent reissues of Scatology and Horse Rotorvator, Jhon Balance has issued the following statement:

"We did deliberate very long and deeply about this Stevø mention on the covers. This situation is highly complicated and I have never exposed people to the complete demoralising complexities of the situation. We never originally signed a contract for these two releases [when they were first released by Stevø's Some Bizarre label - ed.] and were told that we would be given the rights back after 5 or 10 years. There was no 'mine forever' mentioned.

"Stevø owes us approximately £30,000 on unpaid publishing from these 2 releases that he went ahead and licensed to Wire Records in Sweden, Disques du soleil et L'Acier in France, Record Vox in Germany, and Relativity in the US. He collected advances on all these from which we never received any money at all. Mark Chung (ex Neubauten) dealt with our publishing via his publishing company Freibank, but after 15 years of trying to get the money owed and outstanding from Stevø, Mark left that job for something more honourable. We recently had the publishing rights legally revert back to COIL from Freibank so now Stevø owes us the money directly. He of course says he doesn't owe us a penny. What would YOU do in this situation? We have decided to expose the truth.

Just a few years ago Stevo popped up on Discogs posting long rambling semi-literate screeds on the pages for the albums claiming that they were his and all versions not released via him should be marked as bootlegs and blocked from being sold through the site. He was told to do one pretty quickly. I notice that none of this appears on Wikipedia so someone is successfully purging the record on his behalf. Utter arse even if he was involved in helping some pretty good bands get started back in the day.

The UKMT Fudge Baron


New fudge drop!

Happy New Year, fudge-fans!

As you may have noticed we've been awful quiet on the online front recently- this is due to being super busy with markets and in-person trade throughout the backend of last year, resulting in us doing more trade in November alone than in our entire first year! However, we've not forgotten where we started, and we're back to offer you all sorts of delicious goodness to help stave off the grimness of January. We've got several old favourites as well as a couple of brand new flavours for you to try- including the two breakout hits of the last year!

You may also notice that we're using plural pronouns now- that's because Fudjit is now fully a team! Back in November we took on our first apprentice and trained them in the ways of the fudge-alchemist's art, and quite gallingly they were producing fudge as good as my own within a fortnight. We're looking to expand our team even further in the coming year so you may find us turning up at all sorts of places and events that would have been beyond our reach previously. And be on the look-out for more experimental flavours this year, as our doubled production capacity means I have more time to experiment with things!

Talking of which, some of you may recall before christmas I launched a 'Choose a flavour' competition. The winner of this is SA user Discowitch with her suggestion of 'Chilli and Lime' who will be receiving a selection box for her trouble later this week and the fudge being made later this month. Congratulations Discowitch!

Anyway, without further preamble here's our current offerings.

Current Fudge Flavours

Original Vanilla
Salted Caramel
Milk Chocolate
Maple Pecan
Cafe Americano
Peanut Butter Cup
Unicorn Barf
Strawberry Milkshake
Egg Nog **NEW**
- An entire bottle of Advocaat goes into each batch of this one. Tastes like a bar of custard, dusted with cinammon and nutmeg. Truly amazing.
Oranges And Lemons **NEW**- The result of a late night session in the fudge-lab, this combines sicilian lemon and valencian orange extracts with organic mixed candied peel. Tastes like a bar of solid lemon curd with a bitter-orange aftertaste, and was indisputably the stand-out hit of the autumn!

All stock is now live at https://www.fudjit.co.uk at £3.50 per 100g bar (+p&p). And as always, use the goon code 'Roastbeefisbest' to get 5-for-4 at checkout. Goodies will now all be shipped Royal Mail first-class with tracking, due to some issues with untracked packages going missing in transit late last year.

Get fudged!

Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply :) That makes sense, I'd dipped my toe into Coil after hearing Red Queen on late night weird student radio (alongside Negativland/OTE, a mix of Radioactivity I'll never track down, other strange noises) that got me through a lot of uni work, but nothing else stuck aside from those rants I saw printed on the CDs in the store.
