I'm proud to have co-authored Pet Shop Boys Volume, published this week great piece by @alexneedham.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...
theguardian.com
‘Barbara Windsor smacked our bottoms!’ Pet Shop Boys on showstopping visuals, horrified bosses – and snubbing the queen
As a 600-page doorstopper celebrates their groundbreaking costumes, gigs, sleeves and videos, the duo talk about ‘side-stepping the pop-star thing’ – and the naked trampolinist EMI had to censor

It's time to write about the departed but ever-present David Bowie, so here we go... Memories of the young Bowie are of his glamour, otherworldliness, and gay / bisexual advocacy. But that's not the whole story – another part being quietly forgotten by a sanitising media.

Considering a red cabbage recently, it occurred to me how odd it is that the Surrealists made so little use of the wonder-inducing properties of such vegetables, and why they hadn’t speculated more widely on the implications of their existence. www.travellerintheevening.com/p/the-surrea...

#3 And what religion was it that made the pre-Christian world exist based overwhelmingly on slavery? While allowing unwanted children to be discarded? And killing slaves and criminals for entertainment in the arena?

#2 And are we supposed to believe that Christians also talked the (atheist) Bolsheviks into the mass murder of even more people? You’d think with Christians being so very persuasive, they might be more influential these days.

#1 Christians talked atheists into committing the Holocaust? How stupid and impressionable were these atheists, exactly? What is it that stops people from being a mass murderer, exactly? And why didn’t it stop the entire German people as soon as atheists were in control?

No religious group has ever organised mass murder in the scale of the atheist Nazis and Bolsheviks. That’s just a fact.
