I know for many the Special Edition is the only Star Wars they know but this was not the film I grew up with and loved. I am excited to watch this anniversary release but remain slightly cautious - ideally I'd like some rough edges left in 🤞

Exctract from the latest Buck 65 newsletter talking about the Bike For Three! project (with Joëlle Phuong Minh Lê) and Bandcamp Friday. It says: As I've been listening to the stuff this week, it has really hit me that Joëlle's incredible production scratched the itch I've always had for Mantronix and mid-90s era Aphex Twin. Joëlle is legit incredible and I feel like her music should have made her world famous. Very powerful musical mind. So be on the lookout for a super-deluxe version of More Heart Than Brains.

Excited to see what Buck 65 has cooking for Bandcamp Friday. I'm a big fan of the Bike For Three! stuff and have been hoping for more for a long time.

There is one thing that I'd like to see before I die. And that's U to the N to the I to the TY. Let's go.

Cover art from the upcoming KMFDM album titled ENEMY. Classic Brute style showing a bikini-wearing woman in scuba gear. She's holding a harpoon gun aiming toward a giant octopus whose tentacles are reaching out to grab her.

Nice! New KMFDM LP art from Aidan (Brute) Hughes rocks hard. Enemy due in Feb '26.

Not so fussed about Hollywood but I'd have a word with Channel 4. First up - more Pushers with Rosie Jones, then returns for Game Face and Damned.

Event art for tonight's show: Sunday 23 Nov. - Green Door Store, Brighton. Not going to look too closely at how many years it is since Boomania was released.

Might be a gloomy grey Sunday but things are looking good 'cause it's Betty Boo in Brighton tonight. Last caught her at the Boomerang release party which seems a long time ago now.

So wait, what? What did I miss? I go to the pictures for once and when I come out the world has gone topsy turvy.

Won't pretend I'm a fan of the Roses, or the Primals, but clearly Mani was v much loved and a top bassist. Fair play. Did love XTRMNTR though. youtu.be/vjAgDSlfMOI?...

Just caught up with the first excellent and surprisingly moving episode of Hidden Wonders on Channel 4. Raksha and Sandi make a great team. Now to read up more on the Durotriges!

Re: Trump and 'piggy' and how unsettling that whole moment was.

I'm angry. Zack's angry too. It's a huge relief to hear someone actualy say this. I want to be able to hope for something better.

Shit. Here we go then. Never been to the Jazz Cafe before but looks like a good size venue.

November 14th: A Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence and Screams for Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing

happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence and Screams for Thirty Seconds Before Vanishing day

Screenshot from BBC News website showing the headline 'Doctor strike inflicting pain and misery on patients, says health secretary'. There's also a nice little video where we can watch Wes Streeting's awful little face saying cunty things out loud, should we wish to. Sod that. Pay the resident doctors, you bumhole.

Kind of past caring about any Labour leadership squabbles but seriously, who would vote for this guy? Starmer is a huge failure obvs but at least he's not got creepy Tory vibes like Streeting.

Clinton, apparently! 😬

How about no, Bob.

*sigh* seems like everytime I think 'Yes! I will get that Disney+ subscription' something else stupid comes along, like this.

My office wall is crying out for a poster of this.

Always enjoy a Film Stories podcast but if you're going to do something different to celebrate 500 episodes you could do worse than getting Kevin Smith in for a chat.

Ha.

Typically behind on pop music news but goddamn that Charli XCX + John Cale track is something. Hope the rest of the soundtrack follows a similar path.

Screenshot of @shoe.bsky.social's own screenshot from twitter re 'wherever he goes he wants to leave' and a thought provoking response from @lastthird.bsky.social which suggests that perhaps 'the shitposting and meme wars that got us to this place could be the things that get us back out'.

Joyce Carol Oates doing more damage than a thousand Tesla protests. Hoping this might be what takes him down for good.

Garbage team up with Skunk Anansie | Garbage Disco Box Garbage & Skunk Anansie will tour the UK together

Saw @garbage.com live in my home town for Version 2.0 and Beautiful Garbage tours. For Bleed Like Me they cancelled. Next year they'll be playing down the road in Southampton which I'll gladly take as the next best thing. www.garbagediscobox.com/2025/11/garb...

Name an album that had an animal on the cover.

Zohran slogan but Leftover Takeaway for Breakfast.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.
