Malcolm Stamp @ribble11.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Problem is that trashy dancing shows, reality TV, gameshows etc are cheap to produce compared to serious, fact based output *and* they're wildly popular with the punters.

Malcolm Stamp @ribble11.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Good piece. As an avid consumer of the music press at the time, very much as I remember things. Scathing at first, Punk caught the weeklies completely off guard but as the bandwagon began to roll the NME then Sounds jumped on board promptly ditching pretty much everything that preceeded it 000
