It was the best of times. It was the worst of times youtu.be/pNOXg_MYgxw?...

Check the record, check the guy's track record

Early Bono

Fabio Frizzi and band live scoring The Beyond at Earth in Hackney last night

Fact. Starmer is the worst

I’m so sorry. Sending big love

As you have every right to be. Bitterness on the right side can be a strength, the bitterness of M*rphy and her ilk marks them down as awful, hateful, hate-filled people. Their victories are hollow, they will never be happy.

Getting into this fella at the minute via Eureka

Do you mind if I smoke?

I've spent ages trying to think of something positive to say to this and it's a struggle. But watching individuals descend into increasing bitterness doesn't look like much of a victory

I think a few people were hoping it would blow over and they could all forget

It also reminded me of that time we were in the Lyric post-Century Club and those Americans asked what you thought of Trump and you just said "he's a cunt"

Fair

I said when this first broke that people were just laying low waiting for the storm to pass, but she's gone full tonto now. Digging out Homobloc and everything…

Lot of people I know/follow are steeped in club culture and yet not seen much comment on R*isin M*rphy's Homobloc rant or L*nehan's review of Blessed Madonna

Went to the scala for a Cocteau triple bill off the back of this sleeve

Was tipped off about this last week. Super scuzzy lo-fi rockabilly topped off with some nutty religion

Just to add to this, I had the exclusive on the story that the film would, at last, be coming to VHS in 1995 in timecode magazine. PolyGram got complaints from rival magazines, so they said I broke a non-existent embargo

That Shaft flyer brought back instant memories. One minute I was there, the next it was SUnday nights at the Brain

I see they failed to call it the JoBoxset, thus missing an open goal.
Knew he was involved with the Farsight, think @blockup.bsky.social tol me when we saw him at the saw him at the Mark Stewart thing there

Amazing. And I was going to guess Peter Buck in the Three Kings

Gary Davies. Early Balearic

Isn’t that Joboxers drummer and psychedelic skinhead Sean Macluskey, later of Brain club/Love Ranch/Sonic Mook etc in the second picture of the second post?

"My box set isn't shrinkwrapped and the CDs have got fingerprints all over them."
"No idea how it happened, must have been something at the manufacturers"

Salome was helped by scarcity until it was on the JBO comp. We've discussed it before DUncan, but I feel as if it's Terry's finest moment (certainly in the 90s). Morales Lemon was aided by a siren and the fact Bono didn't sound like Bono.
Oakenfold remix was for northerners/people who went Cream

Film/video companies did this for years; for senior staff at their companies and also for buyers at supermarkets/EUK/Woolies etc

Saw a bunch of John Boorman stuff yesterday, including a mid-80s TV documentary circa Emerald Forest in which he chastised video store staff and said he was going to blow their shop up. Couldn't find it on youtube anywhere, but it's a strong recommend

Think he might wait for the Tory leader job

Looking forward to today's Lily Allen features on The Guardian
