I've just realised that the title of The Cult's album "Sonic Temple" is a play on "masonic temple". It was released 37 years ago.

Data centres and AI really needed to learn from the example of GM foods, nuclear power and financial services - that no matter how necessary you think the job you do is, if you get a reputation for lying all the time you are absolutely f**ked in terms of public approval and consent for what you do

Mark Moore was too young for punk, but was a regular at the Blitz Club in his late mid-late teens, eventually joining the ranks of future number one artists from the scene that eventually became known to many as New Romantic. (And was in a Bowie video, albeit Blue Jean rather than Ashes To Ashes.)

Aha! Yes, I definitely had that one. A great comp. Many many years later, I found employment putting together supermarket CD budget compilations for a while. Quietly proud of sneaking "Shimmer" onto one of them :)

Blog update: In March 1988, The Wedding Present's first National Top 75 entry, "Nobody's Twisting Your Arm", also topped the NME Indie Charts. Of all their songs so far, it sounds the closest to pop music - beneath the breakneck guitars lies an irresistible song.

Look at the strikerate on those higher new entries - my favourite Wedding Present and Wire tracks, and absolute corkers by The Flatmates and The Brilliant Corners. Quite a week. This might be the peak of my Record Mirror/Chart Show-driven interest in the indie chart - we'll have to wait and see.

I almost nominated the Primitive Radio Gods track, but Nut got the "99p CD single in Sony Music chart return shop counterbox" slot. There can be only one.

A chart position of 20 undersells how many bought the single - Factory put it out in mid-Dec, where you had to sell more copies to reach that point than in, say, February. It came too late for Substance and the next best-of was seven years away, so its relative obscurity perhaps isn't surprising.

Google Maps has not escaped the enshittification. Round 'ere, it used to know where the road closures were within an hour or so. Now it takes weeks to notice. No I don't know whether Waze et al are better, are they following the same crowdsourced broken model?
