Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026but that curatorial impulse of bbc 1 (and also 1xtra and 6 somewhat) give the british charts such a different flavour than the uk. they embraced house immediately in the late 80s rather than being scared by its Blackness and gayness, for one 100
Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026the case of this in the uk is really interesting: bbc had a lot of controversy for avoiding pop music intentionally in the 60s, to the point of losing a LOT of audience to pirate radio, so since then theyve been literally required to actually play what people want across a variety of stations 100
Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026combine that with spotify's blatant payola (see below), and you end up with the corruption of radio, but without the common experience 000
Keeble T.

Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026the lack of rap on the charts is reallly starting to be noticable now. the only rap hits that pop off are from legacy acts who got big pre-pandemic. there isnt a young class of new rappers, partially bc the people who would have led that died (pop smoke, mac miller, etc) 211
Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026a good one, at that! wish the charts (fm radio mostly, though who gets put on spotify playlists plays into this a lot) would play stuff from it. even the olivia rodrigo album from this summer, which is pretty dang well done albiet not my thing, fell off way quicker than i thought it would 111
Keeble T. Bird @keebletbird.neocities.org · 27/09/2026this has also been a weirdly anonymous, kinda down year for pop in general. a lot of hyped releases arrived with a shrug (charli xcx, phoebe bridgers, etc). the no. 2 song in the country is a blatant rip off of noah kahan's "stick season," a pop song from only 5 years ago, from a groupon heiress 122

Keeble T.

![From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Man from the Future (stylised in sentence case) is the sixteenth studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, set to be released on 9 October 2026 through the band's own label x2 and Parlophone. The band's first concept album follows the life of Alan Turing and his legacy and is a collaboration with Turing biographer Andrew Hodges.
Background and original performance
The duo originally wrote the songs with Hodges around 2012–2013, later performing it with the BBC Concert Orchestra at a BBC Prom in July 2014. They later decided to revise the piece to "give it more of an electronic emphasis", and Sven Helbig, the original orchestrator, suggested reworking his orchestrations in a more intimate arrangement for eight string players.[4] The band said about the album, "Our motive in creating this work was to make a musical memorial to Alan Turing who gave so much to his country and the world and was rewarded for it by being prosecuted for his sexuality".[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nhzws74ryhddqdvoa2z2b4qq/bafkreid77qlboxlfclxw6iei42vsbs2fi2oxgw3g52epw2zk7whegc3jc4)
