Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)? The mighty Pete Shelley would have been 70 today. A rarity in the punk and new wave scene of the time, he was openly bisexual and addressed his sexuality in smash hit records. A true pioneer. #thebuzzcocks #peteshelley

Icymi, there's a fantastic new Garbage single. There isn't any official cover art so I've cheekily cobbled this one together in five minutes... 🫠

The Time David Bowie Became A Video Game Character: “He said, could he leave his Bowie persona in there, and come out as David Jones?” Bowie’s experimental, tech-fixated ’90s ended with him inside a dystopian video game. As MOJO discovers, he nearly stayed there…

Loving the new single by THWACK! which sounds a bit like something The Smashing Pumpkins would have dropped in the mid 90s, only way cooler and a lot more queer. Hints of John Cameron Mitchell/Stephen Trask to it as well. Gorgeous stuff.

Today's big album release is The Purple Bird, the latest album from BONNIE PRINCE BILLY. Looking forward to this one landing in my porch...

The fourth single from the new Manic Street Preachers album is out today. The album has been delayed til 14th Feb.

Couple more icons to consider from the 70s... Toyah Willcox and Jayne County. The latter the first trans rock star. The former was openly third gender in the early 80s. Both criminally underrated. There's also some great NEW female fronted punk bands out there!!!
