The Rubber Soul remixes sound so good. The harmonies in What Goes On are just fantastically clear.

If its Amol that’s gone - I hope the lore is that he left the BBC because he went out of the Traitors in the first week

The worst thing is, she might not have reached true nadir yet. Showgirl could be her Empire Burlesque rather than her Knocked Out Loaded *shudder*

My main view on Taylor Swift’s latest effort is that she’s clearly just reached her “1980s”. All artists have a spiritual 1980s, and it’s roughly 20 years after they’ve been in the business. Dylan, McCartney, Harrison, the Rolling Stones, they all reached their true nadir around then.

One of the greatest line reads of all time. Tim Curry for Command And Conquer, clearly it was a one and done and he could barely stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the line. Perfection

Tim Curry didn't have to go so hard in Muppet Treasure Island, but we're so, so glad he did.

My kids and their friends know Dolly Parton because she’s the person who sends books out to everyone in the post and that’s just really nice isn’t it.

If it’s being a wet blanket to say “you know I’ll sit this one out”, I’m happy being a wet blanket if it means I don’t have to counter someone’s suggestion of going to a live concert with “let’s just listen to them on Spotify *ad plays*”

Whether it’s paying for dinner, going on holiday or sharing a taxi, friendships can be fraught with financial frustrations, which are very rarely aired. Here’s how to break the taboo

When you can regularly smell the forest fires from the valleys in Cardiff Bay I don’t think an emergency alert is necessarily a bad idea…

As an adaptation of Homer’s epic, the Honda Odyssey is a complete disaster. With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age.

Finally started watching Ann Droid, and it feels like it should’ve been made by Yorkshire Television in the 70s starring Mollie Sugden and a robot John Inman (this is positive)

Actually quite angry reading this. I know it’s a bit passé to talk about “why don’t politicians crack down on people not using headphones on the bus” but I think we do need to reckon with platforms that incentivise people to completely disregard the norms of civil society and get away with it.
