I was more shocked how they managed to stretch it out for so long without asking the Queens to do anything! It felt like there was a particular story they wanted to deliver and I wasn’t surprised when it went how it did.

Of course, as an aspiring earnest teenage indie purist, it then made me laugh to think about people who bought Automatic for the People and heard Drive as the first single…

35 years since REM’s Out of Time. Makes me laugh to think how indie purists would have reacted to KRS-1 on the opening track and then vomited down the front of their cardigans at Shiny Happy People. I had just turned 16, knew no better, loved it all and still do.

It’s official, Jesus is a friend of Dorothy.

An adult costume for Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and for some reason Jesus is also the packaging

#OtD 7 Sep 1934 anti-fascists hung a banner atop the BBC, advertising a counter-rally against Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists. The BBC had Mosley on to promote his Nazi views and rally. Even so, over 100,000 locals drove out the fascist stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1075...

We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the roving uniformed thuggish gangs in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.

Rewatching Paul Heaton: from Hull to Heatongrad and can’t imagine any other pop star being so honest and introspective about themselves and their own qualities and not just faux humble for the cameras.

Who cares about 30 years of Oasis at Knebworth when it’s 30 years since the Chuckle Brothers’ Live and In Trouble tour? #ToMeToYou

The Māori word for ADHD is aroreretini, which broadly means “attention goes to many things". Language is a beautiful thing.

Don’t bother at night and just keep a packet of Polos under your pillow at night in case they come to check.

I share your sadness. Part of watching a movie for me is reading the IMDB trivia afterwards. The total enshittification of the internet.

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.

I seem to have reached the age where “just going out to the shed for a bit” is vastly more appealing than engaging with the world.

If Dolly isn’t going to be here tomorrow, we are all going to have be at least 10% more Dolly to make up for the shortfall.

Thanks! Wish it was a bit clearer but you can imagine the megapixels in 2011 😂

I just watched it after reading the book last month and it left a lot to be desired. The Cold War stuff is terrible. Sounds like heresy but there’s an incredible mini series waiting to be made from a modern take on 2001 and 2010 as one continuous story.

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

Absolute class. Love that Bez is not yet interested in gurning for the camera and Shaun is just clearly in love with everything Bez does.

Totally agree about the evolution. Different shades of 80s pop at its very best.

💯 killer no filler. One of the very best singles bands.

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.
