Language Apologises For Jim Ratcliffe

An order confirmation email from the band Ween’s online store.

Having studiously avoided them for about 30 years, I get around to listening to, and greatly enjoying Ween, mere weeks before they finally start reissuing the catalogue? It’s like someone doesn’t want me to have money.

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

Government Shocks Nation With Good Decision

holy shit, great news via the @londonminute.bsky.social daily newsletter this morning - the Southbank Centre has listed status and that includes the skateboarding undercroft!!! c20society.org.uk/news/southba...

DAVID LEAN CINEMA Ticket for SENTIMENTAL VALUE

Tonight’s entertainment (finally!)

Was blindsided by ticket prices for that one; shame as it’s been a long while.

"The Colour Of Spring" isn't even on a Talk Talk album, it's on The Great Hollistic Man's solo record.

I did think about b-sides (Imperial Bedroom), but again they felt like they didn’t count for some reason I can’t actually explain.

Morrison Hotel, but another I can’t believe I didn’t suggest.

World Shut Your Mouth Appears two albums albums after the album World Shut Your Mouth.

Dry is on Rid of Me not Dry

I am *ashamed* that I didn’t suggest this one. Might delete this thread and go and live in a cave.

Although I think Almost Blue fails on a technicality that I can sense, if not actually expand upon.

Queen's Sheer Heart Attack isn't on Sheer Heart Attack.
Almost Blue isn't on E.C.'s Almost Blue

Of *course* I’d remember blinking Gomez and forget those two.

Q1: I know there are more of these, but please, I am very tired. Suggestions welcome!
Q2: What are we calling this? An untitle track? Again, suggestions very welcome.

YouTube video by Gomez - Topic Bring It On (Remastered 2019)

Bring it On isn’t on Bring it On, it’s on the next album, Liquid Skin… youtu.be/DgUBCwrJlDI?...

YouTube video by Black Dog Houses Of The Holy - Led Zeppelin HD (with lyrics)

Houses of the Holy isn’t on Houses of the Holy, it’s on the next album, Physical Graffiti (🧵) youtu.be/fPv2bbCTAfw?...

Extraordinary reporting. And a window on the two Londons - the one we live in and the phantom city of the online rage economy

‘What leak?’

It has rained every day for the past one hundred years

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

Today, “why don’t you join the Foreign Legion / … / you’re still in love with Hayley Mills” might be one of the all-time great lyrics #nowplaying

We have Faithless at home. #totp

A more or less perfect single. #totp

A dressing room door, bearing the name of Steps.

Me? Here? #totp

Yup, still know the words. #totp

Bloody love this. Might be my very favourite late R.E.M song #totp

Juxtaposition of Travis and Britney there, a reminder that Travis’ contemporaneous cover of ‘…Baby’ arguably invented the John Lewis ad soundtrack genre #totp

Another day, another can added to the bag for the day When It Happens.

Well, there it is. Croydon goes global. @backlisted.bsky.social
