The Prodigy – Iain Douglas Stewart

Monday Service: A day late but that’s ok

By Iain 7 March 2022Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

Last week was productive. I wrote a little piece about it being the third anniversary of Keith Flint's death. I had been sitting on it for a while, juggling it around in my head until it made sense, then when I realised the anniversary was a couple of days away, I wrote it up. The timing was perfect as it…

Keith Flint 17/9/1969 – 4/3/2019 R.I.P.

By Iain 4 March 2022Essays, The MissionNo Comments

Cross-post from ObeliskTherapy.net Three years ago, on Monday, the 4th of March 2019 Keith Flint was found unresponsive in his home after hanging himself. You'd think, watching one of The Prodigy's music videos that he was an aggressive and angry man. But he wasn't. Adorned with black ink, chunks of metal and an aggressive fashion sense, he did look intimidating.…

Reality

By Iain 7 October 2018Free-writingNo Comments

This is entry four in my themed series of blog posts in which (as part of my ongoing quest for greater self awareness and my continued personal and professional development), I pick a key word and write about it for a set amount of time. It would be super cool if you left a comment on here with a new…

Two and a half months later…

Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could've knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I've been in some pretty dark places between then and now, and I never feel like writing when I'm having…

Places in my dreams

By Iain 25 November 2014Dream recordsNo Comments

I had a very weird incident recently, whereupon I instantly recalled a series of locations that I had visited in my dreams. It was quite disconcerting to say the least, one minute I was in the moment with Jake, having a little play, the next I was drifting around a water fountain in Japan in a yellow Ferrari with Keith…

I got me one of those tattoo things

By Iain 26 March 2012Films/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

Seeing as I'm a huge Prodigy fan, my first tattoo had to be the ant logo. It didn't hurt massively, it just felt like a lot of little pin pricks, or tiny slices, which is pretty much exactly all it was! I've got loads of ideas for other tattoos, but I'll hold off for a while as I want to…

Night shifts: Part 2

By Iain 23 December 2011ReflectionsNo Comments

Night shifts over and done with. That was... An experience. I don't think I've ever felt so tired in all my life, and I'm sure I've missed a day somewhere this week. In terms of actual work, on the first shift I really got into it, processed a huge delivery and created new bays and ends with stock we had…

Don’t think about smoking

By Iain 21 March 2011Music, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

These past few weeks have been dominated by smoking. I've been thinking about smoking, thinking about not smoking, hating every time I light a cigarette up and being totally schizophrenic about it all. I want to be a non-smoker, or an ex-smoker, but at the same time I don't feel I can face not being a smoker. I know Allen…

2009 Top 10: Invaders Must Die

By Iain 22 December 2009Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

The long awaited new album from The Prodigy came out early in 2009, on the same day as Jane and I moved in with her Mum and Dad. This meant I didn't get it on release day, but a few days after once everything had settled down a bit. It helped a lot, diverting attention away from all these strange…

Baby’s Got A Temper

By Iain 18 September 2009MusicNo Comments

This little-known Prodigy track was released between The Fat of the Land and Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and definitely has that unmistakable Prodigy vibe from the Firestarted/Breathe era, doesn't it? Thing is though, Liam felt it was too like the previous stuff, publicly disowned it, and went off in a totally different direction. Well, it sounds nothing like anything on…
