Terry Reid has died aged 75 Terry Reid, the electrifying British vocalist who turned down Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, has died aged 75

RIP Terry Reid - remember him for his own superb music, particularly Seed of Memory and River, rather than for being the guy who didn’t join Led Zeppelin www.uncut.co.uk/news/terry-r...

Pleased to report that the first, self-titled Paul Weller album still utterly hits the spot.

A Twitter DM from June 2022 reads: Hi Mollie, I hope you're well. Just sending a message to say thanks. Early this year you tweeted a Guardian Blind Date, where the guy dragged the girl a little bit. After seeing a couple of people saying some pretty shit things about her on Twitter, I DM'd her to balance it out a bit - just say I thought she came across as really funny and fuck the haters etc (but with no other real intention other than that). Well we hit it off, talked every day for a month (I was working out of the UK at the time) and agreed to meet as soon as I returned. I ended up coming home early and we've been dating ever since. It might sound a bit over the top but l've never felt like this about anyone else before, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. I've honestly had some of the best months of my life with her around, and I want to say thanks

A Twitter DM from tonight reads: Hey Mollie, I hope you don't mind an update on the above. I asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes! She's my world. I'm so incredibly thankful for you tweeting that thing that led me and meet - I'm eternally in your debt. Thanks!

In 2022 I received the wholesome DM in the image on the left on the Other Site, tonight I received the one on the right 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Silent disco, but everyone’s just wandering around listening to their favourite podcast.

I see director Jonathan Kaplan has died.

It's never a bad time to check out his youth-gone-wild coming-of-age film "Over the Edge" (starring Matt Dillon in his film debut), about teens rebelling against their sell-out parents and soulless planned community.

Supposedly a Kurt Cobain favorite.

Presumably there’s a German word for wanting to read the published version of something you wrote, but being paywalled out of doing so…

Croydon’s original art world outlaw - Plaster Magazine Art and Croydon go way back, a point proved when Florence Hallett tracks down OG dealer and 1960s art world outlaw, Nicholas Treadwell

I have also woken up with a hangover for the first time in some time. Must be something going around.

Survived. Oddly quiet.

Just heading to Purley Way IKEA on a sunny Saturday morning. It’ll probably be fine…

Exactly what I thought

…from which I am still recovering

Allan Ahlberg, beloved children's author, dies aged 87 Working first with his wife Jane, and later with illustrators including Raymond Briggs and Bruce Ingman, he wrote more than 150 books

What a loss: he enriched so many childhoods, including my own kids’
RIP Allan Ahlberg

A sign advertising a souvenir shop in Vienna, proudly boasting that it is ‘Sharon Stone’s Choice’. The photo shows a beaming Stone with what we assume to be the shop’s owner/manager/CEO, who looks, for all the world, like Bob ‘Call me Bobo’ Hoskins.

No idea. Missing from all versions of the album, apparently apart from a mono version in the super-deluxe edition.

The tracklist of the Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat on Apple Music, showing that the pivotal final track Sister Ray is greyed out and not available.

Can’t say I’ve found anything poor UX-wise on Apple Music, as an AM person, but this is unacceptable:

A packet of sliced ham which is a particular type of ham called Drury Lane Ham

what actors call that one legend who’s always overacting

💯. It’s reignited my feelings about that album, which were wrong and bad.

Hulkamini-er?

I am *so* thrilled to see The Ha Ha Bonk Book on here 😍

extremely important to remember that you DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Why play Sweet Caroline and ruin it 😭
