theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 03/10/2026ha, i used a review of said book to work through my ethical, spiritual and emotional divorce of morrissey, also how music crit mentality had sabotaged my counselling training but that's a whole other thing. 230
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yes! The triumphant return of Mondeo Pop for the post Cowell age! When Olivia Dean enters, the song feels like such a moment that it's not hard to see why it was number one forever. I guess they're more equal but it kinda feels like on X Factor when the super special guest joins the finalist. 011
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 28/09/2026you are thou the anthony bourdain of listening to pop music. where he savoured the taste of cheap street food and beer locals love in the most remote and unlikely of locations, you've put your headphones on and discovered the rich flavours that sent joe dolce and 14 flavours of Westlife to the top 030
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 23/09/2026similar with geography, suede are still nearly always billed in the uk as "the band that kickstarted britpop" whilst 90% of their insta comments are from south american fans who just want the cool Trash band to play somewhere near them again this decade 010
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 23/09/2026yes! there's a great episode of @albumtoalbum.bsky.social where Charlotte Hatherley talks about her love of Tin Machine I which she enjoyed as an 80s hard rock album alongside Guns n Roses and such like. 020

theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 10/08/2026There's something kinda Beano about the Sex Pistols that doesn't translate to the heroic rock myth that connects Pink Floyd to The Clash.

theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 31/10/2025I think there was a fake 00s as well. The No Logo, Kid A, anti-globalisation era which got wiped off the board by big things from New York (9/11, The Strokes, electroclash) 120
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Suede are often seen as the first Britpop - real 90s - band but their mk1 incarnation has more in common with Shakespears Sister than with what came next. They also had a line into the Derek Jarman queer art scene which feels like the antithesis of where things ended up. 210

theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Think that layer upon layer of detail were very much a key part of Bowie's working post Tin Machine. Chris has probably written about it, IIRC there was a great discussion on @albumtoalbum.bsky.social with @leahkardos.bsky.social about the sheer layers of stuff Bowie layered into The Next Day. 030
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 17/10/2025This really sounds like Art / Be My God, the two "baggy" Suede songs the band had deleted before The Drowners came out. Niche. 010

theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 01/05/2025It feels like that whole strata of Pitchfork music started middle aged. The National and War on Drugs were making mature comeback albums without a come to be back from. 2120
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 01/05/2025He secretly did it with the Buddha of Surbubia soundtrack, which is an almost ambient autobiography, and more loudly made a "big important statement" about race with Black Tie White Noise feat Al B. Sure! 030
theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 01/05/2025PJ Harvey's Let England Shake I think really fit the bill here, and all those later era Nick Cave albums that sort of blur into one. 3110

theemptypage.bsky.social @theemptypage.bsky.social · 14/02/2025On second viewing I've found it a lot less egregious as I did on first watch. The run of episodes are a bit like that other cultural landmark of 1991 Tin Machine II - an auteur feeling the backlash of giving too much creative control to poorly chosen collaborators. 010
