As the saying goes, when you ASSUME, you make an ASS of U in the Middle East
I have also awarded unfeasibly long runs to Ash and Basement Jaxx on the same reasoning 🤷🏻♂️
I completed the entire bracket, thinking some bands were bizarrely underseeded, before remembering this is a US-based community. But remember, when Roots Manuva topples Wilco in R16, I told you so.
Shuffle throws me Here It Goes Again by OK Go. Probably the first time I’ve heard it absent the treadmill video. It’s perfectly cromulent, reminds me of early Joe Jackson, which may not have been their intention in 2006…

The middest of mid Atlantic
We Close Our Eyes by Go West
Near Wild Heaven. Obviously I love Shiny Happy People* but it has the feel of a standalone single rather than an album track.
* Despite once dislocating my kneecap while dancing to it 😖
Say “95% of our target seats are Tory-held” without saying etc and so on
Anyway, here's a lovely few minutes of Mark Knopfler and Brian Johnston being Geordie rock'n'roll uncles. youtu.be/y_pav5sYs5s
Mendacious crap about Muslims has been a feature of the U.K. print media for my entire adult life, great that it is being so thoroughly debunked here.
Is there likely to be a paperback? Desperate to read this, but my arthritic fingers struggle with hardbacks these days…
Can’t remember when I last got a window envelope!

@chartlifepod.bsky.social Not down with Ed's drive-by on Dire Straits this week. A hill I will die on is that Making Movies is a better evocation of rockin' life in a blue-collar seaside town than anything from Springsteen or Billy Joel.
What with Blair on ‘getting involved in Middle East wars of choice’ and now this, I feel we’re just in need of George Osborne to chime in on ‘how public services feel underinvested in’ to get the full caboodle of unwanted advice.
This was an absolute delight. As someone other than me pointed out - apologies, can’t remember who - a measure of its quality is that Ncuti is neither the best nor the horniest thing about it.
Sweet. Also excellent use of coveted, absolutely the mot juste.
This cold has done the usual three days in, three days out. Then hung around in the background for a further three days and is back with a vengeance today. 2/10 would not recommend.

NOBODY expects the Norfolk Inquisition
Maybe the video is false flag George propaganda?
I would buy the capybari or the highland calves in a flash. And the floral one in the video is LOVELY.
What a cool place to grow up!
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
