Maltese Blogosphere - Stewed

Any blog that includes a detailed description of the removal of a louse from its author's unhappy penis deserves a mention in this review. Surf over to http://mexxejhassieb.blogspot.com/ and enjoy the insanity. Just remember to ignore all the pretend-clever bits about Maltese society teetering on the edge of the racial war precipice (or something to that effect). You know its much more fun to read about that sort of thing at kenneth's place - where the apocalypse is being awaited with bathed breath - or at Mike's - who is probably stocking up on flamethrowers at this very moment.

During my now daily excursions into bigilla-blogdom I have noticed an alarming deficiency in our colelctive blogging experience; there is not, within the whole bigilla-collective, one single miserable blog which expresses religious fervour towards Steely Dan. Pink Floyd are all over the place, there are a couple of demifrogs who continually remind us of how great Miles was, and (blogdom being very much the ultimate hangout place for geeks) there are gazillions of Radiohead adoration posts. This alarming situation will soon be rectified.

Maltese Blogosphere - On toast

Three cheers for Pawlu l-kant; he has finally realized that MySpaces is no place for real men. Pawlu's belated arrival is good news for the bigilla-blogosphere. The lad is clever, erudite, and verbose to the point of earning my admiration. He's also on a crusade to promote some obscure (and probably satanic/communist) term which he and his mate - sidekick? - Il-Magistrat recently coined i.e. Strampop, an umbrella term for straightahead pop-rock with weirdo bells and whistles (think Radiohead). Do surf over and enjoy his rants at http://kilbosh.blogspot.com/

I read through my last few entries yesterday and noticed that right-wing loony types are being given an unfair ammount of attention. This is probably justified by the fact that they are so entertaining, but in the interest of fairness I guess it is my duty to include a couple of commie types as well. So here you go; http://hgejjeg.blogspot.com/, by the cutely nicked 'L-Imzebbel', is extremely weird, extremely commie, and (consequently) extremely amusing. Be amazed at the artistic validity of sexual organs, be disgusted by the evils of capitalism, and be utterly blinded by the gothblack blog background.

Incidentally I've been thinking of posting something on the lines of 'You've been grilled' to each reviewee. But I'm havign scond thoughts; would this be too much of a publicity stunt for you, dearest everloyal readership? Please post your opinions, I can't take a decision without knowing that it will irk loads of people.

Maltese Blogosphere - Flame Grilled

More blogs herded into Chalee's slaughterhouse to be mercylessly poked fun at;

http://rodmallia.blogspot.com/ Penned by that weird scientist-scribbler-socrates amalgam that is Rodrick Mallia, 'Hsibijiet...' is one of the most literate corners of the Bigilla-Blogosphere, and, inevitably, one of the quirkiest. Chock full of highly entertaining outpourings of existentialist frustration Rod's Blog is is the place to visit if you feel like being angry in a well-read manner. To top it all he even places the 'gh' in all the correct places! Can you get any more radical than that without wearing dreadlocks? Surf over, and be edified.

(Incidentally, does the use of the phrase 'surf over' sound too 1999, and therefore render me terminally unhip?)

http://wizgha.blogspot.com/, also known as Kenneth's Online Repository is yet another highly amusing blog from a right-wing loony type, complete with obligatory laments on the state of the Maltese armed forces and expressions of irration at commie activities such as strikes. The boy also salivates at the prospect of a West-Islam apocalypse and there's an effusively lyrical entry on guitarosexuality somewhere. Give me this insanity over 'The Independent' any day.

Maltese Blogosphere - Deep Fried

In yesterday's blog I promised my everloyal readership that I would endeavour to present an in depth analysis of the Maltese blogosphere. Being the chivalric sort I find it is quite appropriate that I should first dedicate my attention to that rarest of the inhabitants of the ether; the girl. Maltagirl, whose diverse ramblings can be enjoyed at http://maltagirl.typepad.com/diverse_ramblings/ manages the unprecedented task of being both female and moderately witty. Such a singular phenomenon should not be missed. Surf over and enjoy her candid narration of failed cartwheels and kayaking trips.

Another fairly remarkable blog is http://allajafmeta.blogspot.com/, written by the infamous D. Since the man could outplay the rest of us with both of his hands tied round his back, I shall very discreetly not say anything about the fact that his blog contains purple prose passages on Led Zeppelin (shock!) claims that the bass is not meant to played like a guitar (horror!) and other faux pas. Pay D a visit and download a sample of the man's musical endeavours; yes it features samples of funny voices and sounds, and there isn't one single distortion pedal in sight, but it's extremely not bad.

Mike's http://enigmatikmike.blogspot.com/ is probably one of the least well-know places of interest in the Maltese blogosphere. This is a shame, as the man is refreshing unPC, and a right-wing loonie - a hugely entertaining combination. Of course if you're squeamish you're better off sticking with Tony Sant's place (perhaps I'll put the magnus dei of the Maltese blogosphere under the knife in some future episode). Click the link now, if only to confirm that you're not a communist (you aren't, are you?)

Next up....oh we'll see about that next time.

The Maltese Blogosphere, hacked to death for your amusement

The Maltese Blogosphere is a strange environment. It is populated by a bizarre assortment of right(and left)-wing lunatics, expatriates with too much time on their hands, verbose bass players, writers of 'z' word novels, a couple of jazz snobs (DS), and, incredibly, a girl. Such an intricate ecosystem must, for the good of mankind, be subject to close inspection, in depth analysis, and, of course, ridicule. Therefore in the coming weeks, I shall endeavour to regale you, everloyal readers, with the most enlightening examples of bigilla-blogging that I encounter during my travels through the ether. Cheery - oh!
