Saw @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk's new show The Britpop Hour today and it was immense fun, especially if you've been to any of the legacy gigs this summer. Worth it just to learn to dance like Jarvis Cocker.

Ad on FB just now. This is the creepiest shit I have ever seen. Or it would be, but I saw a creepier one a few weeks ago that claimed you could use photographs of real people. I'm assuming I'm getting these because of my age and demographic etc. It makes my skin crawl.

medieval (?) illustration from a manuscript, forming the letter K. A naked man is bound to a chair and restrained with a ball and chain and a big colourful bird is chewing on his genitals. Or sucking him off! Or maybe just having a sniff. It's hard to tell exactly. Anyway this is what I do when I read emails

A screen grab from the TV show The Young Ones, showing the character of Neil played by Nigel Planer, a hippie with long dark hair, sat cross legged on the floor in a dirty 80s student kitchen. The picture is captioned with a line from the show "Well it better be good, this Norman Tebitt".

Looked at the news. My brain immediately did this.

I’m not saying that the BBC issuing an apology to β€œthe Jewish community” for Bob Vylan’s anti-IDF Glastonbury chant is ridiculous, I’m just saying it’s basically the same as if an act had chanted β€œdeath to nonces” and they apologised to all Catholics for any offence caused.

My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"

Most people think the theremin is just for aliens, maybe ghosts. Only Brian Wilson had the true vision that it could also be for summertime sweetheart jams

I'm obsessed with how Billie Piper absolutely nailed the line reading of "Oh, hello!". Two words and she did so much with it!
