Any excuse to post this

Half of Fanny (June and Nickey) played on it, too.

Not every hero wears a cape.

Man, we're going to be left with a generation of people who feel like they've experienced the creative process and left with the excuse of 'eh, it wasn't very satisfying', when they never created a single fucking thing, aren't we.

Did Not Miss. Still the best of the BDOs.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

So. Good.

Come with me back to my hometown of Newcastle for a truly chilling poltergeist case. It's 1997, and a house of disaffected goths are about to experience something that really will make their hair stand on end😱👻😱 Uncanny | Listen on BBC Sounds

The beloved Galapagos tortoise named Gramma, the oldest resident of the San Diego Zoo at an estimated 141 years, has died.

*original Bungle klaxon* The daleks and cybermen have never been the same since I learnt they had Zippy's voice(s).

Grandma's first encounter with cranberry sauce is still regularly referenced. "What is it?" "Cranberry sauce." "What's in it?" "Cranberries." "What are they made of?" "Cranberries!"

The correct and proper response to ANY and ALL 'naming rights' of venues etc is to use the old, well-established name. You are under precisely ZERO OBLIGATION to use that name / promote that corporation. At all.

Absolute unit of a stile

Not enough songs focus on blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

I just bookmarked the Cheetah Cub Cam, this is the fucking cutest

I like to think that Dolly Parton is a big Ramones fan.

I still remember buying something like this at the Scholastic Book Fair when I was kid, and it was like the future had just arrived. Want green ink? It could do that. Red ink? No problem. Purple? Of course. What about orange? Whatever, kid. So much cooler than an iPhone.

There’s been an influx of letters in our postbag about Christmas records and how early they seem to be released through the years, so we thought we’d look into the science for you, our viewers. So… It’s a WAFR Pop Explainer!

Sure I've shared this before, but in light of losing Mani from the Roses this week, feels right to reshare this excellent vid again: How Manchester Became Madchester youtu.be/NcJ0Vdig91Y?...

I'd like to send out this request to all those in Doge. You deserve it all.

In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.

In my corner of the bass-playing universe there was life pre- and post-Mani. He brought a liquid, melodic funkiness that EVERYONE copied. And when I finally met him he was exactly how you imagined him: joyful, generous, unstarry (& more of a star because of it) and wickedly funny. A life well lived

Well this certainly licks the bags. Farewell superstar www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

I once got almost exactly that very mixtape (REM, Gabriel, Indigos, Lennox, McLachlan, etc) from my gf in 1998. I was over the moon. One day I was riding home with a friend, and he was playing…I hope you’re sitting down…the very same mixtape. An unimaginable atrocity.

everyone who spent the 90s laboriously and lovingly making mixtapes just dissolved into ancient dust

For fucks sake, no part of a cow or pig is called a burger or sausage, it's a shape. Desperate attempts from animal farmers to damage vegetarian food sales. What's next Cadbury's not being able to sell chocolate fingers because that's what Captain Birdseye sells fish as?
