Thanks - I’m going to keep an eye on it !

Ooo - I didn’t know about this but it would be nice to have a copy without the extra tracks from the daft box set a year or two ago

Ditto - I have a few of those Muses tapes but on 4AD not Sire. It’s a great selection tho I’m bemused there’s not a single Pixies tape in there

Is that a Waitrose French Cheese Board ? Looks good !

If you want to know how the British print news industry ends (which is, de facto, amazingly still what supports most newspaper websites) it's the distribution channels getting banjaxed. When you lose "TG Jones" etc even people who want a paper can't get one. That'll be the real start of the ending.

There was a comp that came out called “Way To Blue” that I listened to as a sensitive twenty-something - I think it stuck a chord with me at the time but I get on with that so election more than I do the individual albums.

Over 100 works of art being put up for auction by (cash strapped) Reform-run Kent County Council.

Kent Greens: "While the total financial value of the art is only around £35k, the historic and social value of the art, most of which depicts Kent, is far higher."

Watching S1 of Chancer on DVD, and halfway through one of the episodes, this popped up …

Shame network aren’t around any more …

I see a hypocrite politico on the cover of the Daily Fail today complaining that the Green Party only won the by election by campaigning on national /international issues, seemingly unaware that last year his party fielded 1000s of candidates for local elections claiming they would “stop the boats”

Here is the moment Geese seems to have said “Free Palestine” but was bleeped by ITV

I think the last one of those is the MP they’re closest to so if there’s going to be one I’d be watching him. Still a big IF tho - he seems to like being a Labour critic from within.

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

Yeah - that’s my thoughts as well which is why I’ve not ranted about it - of course, “some lad with a van” is exactly how a campaign would want stuff like this to happen and stuff that happens on election day is often a bit dodgy cos by the time any action is taken, the damage is done …

GREEN VS REFORM VOTE GREEN! Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Today is the day.

Hope vs hate.

Green vs Reform.

Vote Green in Gorton & Denton.

“I thought [“losing my religion”] was a common phrase… The song is a classic obsession song. It’s about someone who pines for someone else. It’s unrequited love… some major revelation is occurring, and I’m mapping the reactions and changes about to take place.” - @michaelstipe.bsky.social

Talk Talk's 'The Colour Of Spring' was released #OnThisDay in 1986.

It may be 40 years old, but it remains a timeless relic, one of the most incredible records ever made and the perfect midpoint between the band's synthpop beginnings and their majestic masterpieces.

I love the way all the characters on the right are looking to the main picture as well

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite

MARIO: Thank-a you!

C: Just one more thing. Now you say your girlfriend, the Princess, was kidnapped by Bowser, your enemy. And yet you were go-karting with him this morning?

M: What’s-a your point, Detective?

Yeah - I don’t know why I thought that was happening but I can’t see any mention of it anywhere. Ah well - I’m still looking forward to it - it’s up there for me as well.

Did I read somewhere that it was going to have an introduction / sleeve notes or something ?

Mew, on stage at the Roundhouse, in front of a projection of some mice like creatures playing violins.

As expected, Mew were tremendous this evening at the Roundhouse - they’ll be a different band without Jonas but I do hope they keep cracking on.

Mew - Toppermost There’s a dichotomy at the heart of Mew, a series of questions that seem impossible to understand, but that are core to appreciating them.

Listening to Mew ahead of the big London gig later this week - reminded of the piece I wrote about them for @toppermost.bsky.social

YouTube video by Neil Young - Topic Only Love Can Break Your Heart

Forgive me, but I’ve never listened the Neil Young original of “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” until this past weekend and bloody hell it’s tremendous isn’t it?
