No thinking allowed on the BBC any more, then; a small confirmation of a known fact.

Yes indeed! Excellent choice, though.

The basic problem with social media is that the kind of people you'd want posting on it are generally the same kind of people who make a point of avoiding social media like the plague. You can see their point.

Ah dear, we have a bit of whataboutmeism and an undertow of latent misogyny going on with the Rachel Parris business already, I see. Take your resentment elsewhere, mate. Placed on final warning mute.

1962 - Dave Brubeck Quartet - Unsquare Dance I was about to cut out the first half of this, which is an odd kind of live commentary track over another DBQ record, but it's just a joy to see, so you'll need to skip to 2:00 to see Proto Legs & Co do their interpretive dance to Unsquare Dance.

I'm not really in a position to go to gigs any more but if you are then you ought to make time to go and see this performer. Looks like this is down to very poor promotion so let's try to fix that.

Given both Radios 1 and 2 seemed to be employing broadcasters yesterday who appeared to be struggling with basic English - because possessing intelligence is apparently elitist now - I doubt the situation will improve.

Actually the BBC don't give a toss. If they did they would hire people like me who have knowledge and expertise to offer. But I'm not a "hot" celebrity which is all anybody seems to be interested in any more.

They would also like to apologise for wasting public money, which they extract by force, to subsidise a service which is supposed to offer knowledge and authority.

6Music errs too much on the other side. If you come out of a doomladen 11:30 news bulletin people want to be reassured and cheered up by something they know, not anonymous off-the-peg indie album tracks masquerading as singles. Balance.

Got Radio 1 on now. Baby Kool by Nothing But Thieves then What A Life by Fisher, both of which are very good. NBTs' Live Lounge cover of Crazy In Love (ask your mum) is, however, most ill-advised.

ph43R that word "v1brant," polari for things minor TV actors might fancy trifling with in their spare time ("writing children's books was in my contract so I thought I'd give it a crack"). Back to the 19th century; art as a trinket for the rich, everyone else back up the chimney.

Guardian and Guardian types already creaming themselves over this own goal, btw, because what they really want is for Badenoch to win in 2029 so they can keep getting paid to create politely morose centrist content for another five years.

This is because politicians aim to appeal to mediocre and envious people who know their place and think people of independent thought are just showing the rest up. That itself acts as a mask for capitalism which essentially wants most people to be compliant serfs.

They're records which "made" you so of course you'd be young when they came out. It's not a Who's Trendy game.
