@michaellegge.bsky.social if you want a new Moe Tucker seeing as the old one has gone all shitty, can I recommend the lovely voiced, terrific drummer and all round splendid person, Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley?

@impq.bsky.social if a toilet is actually just a cardboard box, surely you should ONLY shit in it and definitely not piss?? Won't it just go soggy and fall to bits?

@michaellegge.bsky.social I'm currently buying more CDs than ever, and knowing what great taste you've got I'm tearing my hair out imagining the absolute gems among the CDs you're getting rid of. I'd buy the lot off you in a heartbeat if I didn't live 300 miles away.

Uninstalled Threads. It's absolutely invested with the very worst type of Christian scumbag. Imagine actually thinking like this, fucking hell.

@impq.bsky.social thanks for recommending Jeremy's Haydn podcast, listened to the first one and love it even though I know nothing about classical music. Laughed my arse off at his Haydn-ised Monty Python theme!

"Why do you still buy CDs Phil?" This is why. 20 discs of Martin Carthy at the BBC.

Olympus Has Fallen is on. It's depressing to realise that T***p has done far more damage to the White House than all the terrorists in this ridiculous film.

@impq.bsky.social hey lovelies, I believe you're both fans of this album - have you both got this version with the original fanny-in-a-pencil-case cover? Got a spare as I found it for peanuts in a charity shop, not sure how common it is. Would either of you like it? No charge of course.

I'm aware this is like someone who doesn't listen to jazz saying "guys, I've discovered this amazing album Kind of Blue by this guy called Miles Davis" but holy shit this is jaw-dropping.

Took a day off for delivery of new washing machine from Argos. Just arrived, took it out the box, and it's clearly been dropped or something as the whole bottom corner is caved in. Brilliant.

I do love The Death of Stalin, but I'll never forgive it for not giving @paullitchfield.bsky.social a role so it could have been The Trap Movie.

Honestly, one like for the best post I've ever done. And that was from the founder of Shed of the Year just because I mentioned a shed. This country.

Yes yes, we can all agree that Small Prophets is utterly wonderful and charming, but is no-one else at all concerned that Michael appears to have killed the Sesame Street yip yip Martians and hung them in his shed?

Threw a rock up into a tree to try to get sycamore seeds, after a few seconds it hadn't come down. Walked under the tree to see if I could see it, immediately came down on my head. Ran home and burst into the house looking like the prom scene from Carrie. Don't think my parents will ever forgive me.

Merry Christmas to everyone I know on here, but especially to these two absolute lovelies for a year of entertainment and for turning Iron Maiden from a band my childhood mate liked into one I feel like I've known forever. Scream for me Santa!

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

@impq.bsky.social I know you two keep wanging on about Iron Maiden, but you could have at least mentioned at some point how good Sparks are, kept that to your bloody selves didn't you. 50p from a charity shop!

Hey #5x1 pals - what albums would you have picked if we'd done our end of year listening this year? Need suggestions to help drag me through the last few days of work.

@uncutmagazine.bsky.social great to see The Heat Warps by the brilliant Modern Nature so high in your top 50 albums of the year - makes it all the more baffling that I saw them in Sunderland in October with no more than ten other people in the audience.

@impq.bsky.social I know you didn't ask for more mondegreens, but I always wondered why Rosemary combed her hair and took a cabbage into town in "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts".

@impq.bsky.social Michael continuously failing to recognise bits of Iron Maiden songs is starting to make me think he doesn't really like them and this whole thing is just the world's longest and most elaborate prank on Dan.
