“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

Is it unfair to judge #ReformConference on the appearance of its more outré members? Yes Am I going to continue to do it? Also yes

I've grown cynical about technology over the years, but occasionally, someone will do something incredible with it. Love the process, and the results here.

Highly recommend @world-of-telly.bsky.social podcast. Lovingly curated deep dive into the most interesting TV over the decades. Hoping they'll get round to covering "If You See God, Tell Him" one day.

I thought I was familiar with this exquisite song. However with Alison's version here, there are joys within I'd never appreciated before. Absolutely lovely. Give it a listen.

So lovely of the fragrant Lucy Connolly to agree with me that the Reform UK party conference was just one big boozy knees up with no serious politics involved at all. 😉

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Inevitably, I ruined this by typing so slowly, I was always commenting on the previous song. But next month it's SKYLARKING. Yes SKYLARKING. SKYLARKING KLAXON!

"Free Lucy Connolly" and "jail Zack Polanski" are not remotely intellectually consistent as positions. Anyone who's said both – hi Zia! – can be dismissed as an insincere grifter. And that's even before you factor that Connolly's post was significantly worse *and* made during a time of riots.

If it gets more people to listen to Drums and Wires, there might be some positives to this story.

Naturally with #XTC, they've got the best material with which to work, but this magazine is brilliantly researched and lovingly written. All the people. All the records.
