All this talk about the “Nerd Reich” reminds me of The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick. The madmen are in power.

And now we say goodbye to Yayoi Kusama; what an incredible artistic life. The people of Melbourne truly took her into our hearts during the recent record breaking NGV show. I especially loved her gorgeous Little Mermaid illustrations from 2016.

Just found this amazing photo my wife took of PJ Harvey at Primavera Sound in 2011 on our shitty old camera. Absolutely beautiful.

Not seeing many 90s bands in here but this is a perfect introduction to @thecharlatans.bsky.social. Chronological, ever evolving and a quite a few deep cuts in the mix.

To me a truly great Greatest Hits requires a band who love the idea of making 3 minutes of pop perfection…

Ah man, this looks fabulous; a whole night of @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social. The opening of Hugh on the bike in London 0 Hull 4 is worth the ticket price alone.
