Serious question. Did anybody ever find out what she looked like with a chimney on her?

#Reverberations Day 7 ( unranked ) A Life Less Ordinary - Ash Northern Ireland's finest at their noisy, tuneful, romantic best. Certainly better ( and better remembered ) than the movie the song came from...

#Reverberations Day 6 ( unranked ) Physical ( You're So ) - Adam & The Ants "You'd better listen to Marco" As important to the Ants' sound as the Burundi beats, Marco Pirroni's guitar tones - washes of fuzz and delay - here add atmosphere and depth to Adam's lustful fantasies 🔥🎵🎸 #Antmusic

Brexiteers, MAGA, Little Englanders, transphobes, genocide enablers - draw your own parallels...

GOOD NEWS! Starmer has uncovered the one Bad Dude in politics! It's Peter Mandelson! And now he's all taken care of it's back to the business of being good and normal and just stfu and enjoy things being as good as they can possibly be!

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

#Reverberations Day 5 - unranked Iceblink Luck - Cocteau Twins I'm struggling to write about this band without using words like "haunting" and "ethereal" Anyway, here's the haunting sound of the Cocteaus featuring the ethereal vocals of Elizabeth Fraser. And isn't it lovely ✨🎵

Says it all, really ⬇️

#Reverberations Day 4 - unranked Cult Of Personality - Living Colour A ground breaking, kick-ass band with a song as timely now as it's ever been. The guitar sound *and* the message still reverberate 🎵🔥 youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0?...

Ian Hislop, Private Eye’s editor, said: “It’s nice to see that Private Eye was getting close enough to the truth fifteen years ago to make some really appalling people – and their fine upstanding legal representatives – nervous. 🧵3/5

#Reverberations Day 3 - unranked Bloodlust - Bloodworm Probably the newest band I'll post in this challenge. I saw them last night, supporting Suede in Bristol, and loved their chiming guitars and Cure-goes-Shoegaze sound. Frighteningly young and talented, definitely ones to watch 🎵

Suede were phenomenal in Bristol tonight! Just a stunning performance 💥🎵 @suedehq.bsky.social

Suede! Tonight! Bristol! 🖤 ( I'm very excited for this gig, in case you hadn't noticed 😀 )

#Reverberations Day 2 - unranked Beautiful Ones - Suede Going to see this gang of reprobates in #Bristol tonight - can't wait! Hoping to hear *this* twisty opening guitar line played extremely loud 🎸🎵 @suedehq.bsky.social

I should have said "a warm up gig for the XTRMNTR tour" - Glasto came later, of course. ( Where's that edit button, Bluesky? Idiots like me need it. ) #Reverberations

#Reverberations Day 1 - unranked Shoot Speed / Kill Light - Primal Scream In Jan 2000, the Scream with MBV's Kevin Shields played a warm up gig for Glasto in Gloucester's Guildhall. Bobby said to the crowd "We're Primal Scream and we're here to fuck your heads up." "Yes, please" we said.

THANK YOU FOR THE SWIFT BRICK LOVE! Tickled pink by the support🪶Incase you missed the MEGA news (esp ⁦‪@SteveReedMP‬⁩ & ⁦‪@AngelaRayner‬⁩ ⁦‪@mtpennycook‬⁩) Scotland passed swift bricks into law in just a month proving how easy it could be for England to mandate too! Thank you MARK RUSKELL MSP!

#Reverberations Starts tomorrow. A month-long celebration of all things guitar. From 80s Indie and Alt-Rock, to Shoegaze and Grunge and beyond, up to the present day. Think My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Hüsker Du, Nirvana, DIIV, Just Mustard…

#70sTop30 1. Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen Whether you believe Mary's dress "sways" or "waves", she's still dancing like a vision across the porch as the radio plays. The ultimate escape song for doomed romantics everywhere 💙 "It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win" 🎵

We promised to throw the kitchen sink at this election. Well we've definitely voted for the right candidate with the skills for the job! Hannah & the Greens are taking the fight to Reform. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Zack Polanski & Hannah Spencer today at the unveiling of the Green Party's selection for the Gorton & Denton by election

#70sTop30 2. Anarchy In The UK - Sex Pistols I really can't overstate how important this song has been to my life. Do I play it much nowadays? Not really, because every second is burned into my brain, so I don't have to. Included because my inner teenager would never forgive older me if I didn't.

🎶 we got a snow drift, Danny’s gift and plasma from the bloody lifts axed doors, maze tours and creepy twins you can’t ignore, red rum, scared mum, barman chum and you must say when he’s typing all the day it’s all work and never play play, play, play, play, play, play, play, play. 🎶

The Boss. Always. "We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis"

#70sTop30 3. "Heroes" ( album version ) - David Bowie It may seem an obvious choice, but no matter how many times I hear this song played on TV, on adverts, on the radio, in whatever form it takes, it still makes my heart beat faster as soon as it starts. It's immense, immaculate, immortal 🖤 #Bowie

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work and passion they had put into their music and I think that comes through in the photos.

#70sTop30 4. London Calling - The Clash "The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in / Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin" Apocalypse 1979 🎵🔥🎸

There have been so many lovely tributes to the late, great Sal Buscema over the last couple of days. Just thought I'd add one of the first comics I ever owned and still a favourite: Avengers no. 89, June 1971 - awesome stuff! RIP Sal 😔🙏

Thank you Sal Buscema for your art and especially your punches.

Godspeed to Our Pal Sal. He’d have been 90 today. 😢

#70sTop30 5. Heart Of Glass - Blondie I love Blondie's earlier, spiky New-Wave-meets-girl-group songs but this Disco-Punk monster is in a league of its own. The sound that producer Mike Chapman coaxed out of the band is stupendous and Debbie's voice is heavenly. Plus she looks 🔥 in the video, obvs.

This could have been written this morning. How exact and how applicable every word is. "Stealing the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in." No better description exists of the blasphemous, murderous, corrupt America of Trump and of ICE.

America The Beautiful - DOA "Lock your door, lock it tight: it's the new immoral Right" For some reason, this song popped into my head today 😬

#70sTop30 6. Another Brick In The Wall ( Part Two ) - Pink Floyd The first Pink Floyd song I ever heard and the first single I ever bought, at the age of 13. It still sounds fantastic to these 59-year old ears, and Dave Gilmour's guitar solo as the song fades out is still a thing of wonder 🎵

#70sTop30 7. Exodus - Bob Marley & The Wailers "Movement of Jah people" An epic of Rastafarian empowerment in which Marley casts himself as a Black Moses ( shades of Isaac Hayes! ) leading his people out of oppression in "Babylon" and delivering them to "Zion" and Utopia. A truly iconic song 🎵

#70sTop30 8. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush At the height of disco and new wave, this teenage prodigy rocked up with her incongruously romantic, spooky, prog-y take on an A-Level set text and had a massive hit. What a calling card for an epic career 🔥

#70sTop30 9. Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder It may be a dismal, rainy Thursday here on Airstrip One, but Stevie's joyous tribute to Duke Ellington never fails to spread a little love and sunshine 💖🌞 And I defy you not to mime along to the exuberant horn section 🎺🎷

Michael B Jordan and Wunmi Mosaku have been nominated for their first-ever Oscars for their performances in ‘SINNERS’ See the full nominees list: bit.ly/OscarNoms26

#70sTop30 10. Marquee Moon - Television For years I only knew the single version, then I bought the album and heard *this* - a jaw-dropping moment. The band play like their lives depend on it: the crystalline guitars, pounding bass & clattering drums leading you into a half-glimpsed netherworld 🙏🎵🔥

Um...I don't think they're opposing the U.S. owning Greenland because they hate Trump, I think they oppose the U.S. owning Greenland because IT DOESN'T FUCKING BELONG TO US AND THEY HAVE NO REASON TO GIVE OR SELL IT TO US.

Board of Peace: Orban, Lukaschenko Netanyahu and Trump.

#70sTop30 11. My Girl - Madness I always thought the Nutty Boys were at their best when they mixed melancholy with madness, and this tale of young lovers trying to work each other out is, for me, the perfect example. "She says that I don't care / She says I'm unaware / And now she says I'm weak"

What's your sign?

Wish I could just demand something even though it was against the law and I had no right to it. I wouldn't even want a whole country, I'd just want an oligarch's empty flat. One of them nice two-beds in Vauxhall. River view would be lovely but no worries if not.

Who's Sergio? That should read "Giorgio" of course. Apologies for my brain rot 🙄

Wishing the magnificent actor and Doctor Who legend Tom Baker a happy 92nd birthday! 🎁 #DoctorWho #FourthDoctor #BigFinish

#70sTop30 12. I Feel Love - Donna Summer In which Donna and Sergio invent the future of dance music 🎵

#70sTop30 13. Up The Junction - Squeeze A complete kitchen sink drama in three minutes, courtesy of the songwriting genius of Difford and Tilbrook. Oh, and one of the greatest opening lines ever: "I never thought it would happen with me and a girl from Clapham"
