Consuming the Lily Allen album and this week’s Morning Show episode in the last 24 hours… so much drama 🎭

“Even Taylor Swift’s worst ideas have a way of working out.” Even in my wildest dreams, I couldn’t describe Taylor’s album with as much verve and insight and joy-in-writing as Tom. The definitive review?

Anyone used both Apple news/mags and Readly and can tell me why one is better than other? Most grateful for info, ta

‘Elton John has revealed he has turned his old kneecaps into jewellery.’ We stan a sustainable moment

Substack app feels like a nice place. thought I’d only subscribed to three things, dunno how all the stuff got there 😅 Any tips most welcome - feels a bit all over the place and overwhelming whenever I open it 🙃

Mine was 1501 ffs. Everyone else’s went before mine

Just went to pinch-zoom… an IRL paper magazine 🙃

The Saturdays > K Pop Hunters ’Golden’ No.1 in 2025 🙃

My twin?

They really blew the budget on this 🙃 but fr she really had most of her sh!t together (despite production values here) even at this stage? We stan a GOAT

Underrated

The best live stadium concert hymn 🙌🏼

Stop ittttt 😭😭😭

Still in recovery / joy / vocal rest after screaming at the tele for the footie last night WOI comon England #Lionesses #WEUROS2025

Who would have thought this would become the national anthem

#London ❤️

A must-watch; a tough watch. Bawling throughout #GrenfellUncovered on Netflix. Multiple levels of greed, corruption+despicable actions/inaction of those clearly responsible but not yet held properly accountable… I’m heartbroken for the residents, fellow Londoners www.netflix.com/title/81683138

Brilliant if true > Writer Jack Rooke has been hired to pen Netflix's drama about the Spice Girls

Pope Leo?

Wheyyyy

my advice to gen z and gen alpha is make sure you work hard at school and college and get a good job, as when your favourite groups reform 25 years on you'll need an ABC1 salary to go see them.

Ed Sheeran's 'Azizam', duration 2:42... just when I'm leaning into the full bop - that old-school final-verse/re-up/keychange/dance break glory - it's finished. waaaaaa. Can we petition for standard Millennial-edit / radio edit versions for all songs please?

If there is one thing you read today…☕️ ‘I don’t think everybody was really aware of how attached people were to the ooh-loo-loo-loos.’ - White Lotus composer

Adolescence worth the hype. Watched it all at once. Engrossing, heartbreaking, stunning, so emotional... Hope it pushes forward progressive conversations based around central themes.

Yup, please fact-check+from credible sources 📣

My very unserious review / just various states of losing-my-sh!t at Jungle. Sugababes are backkk, pop music is fully saved, give me a glass of fizz and get me to The O2 for the live show, stat 🥂

Feels like pop Christmas, though I could do with a 'Jungle' radio-length edit. Appreciate that it's the TikTok era but 2mins40?! Give these elder millennials another verse/keychange/dancebreak/extra minute www.nme.com/news/music/s...

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

What to do with these old things? Is there a museum or archive?

Joined my partner’s fam Xmas game. As banker, made 3/6 players cheat for most of it. Got caught handing out 2x money, replied ‘oh, oops’, got away w it 😎 Got bored, stood up mid-game, declared my cheating, mic-dropped my cash on the trailing player to use. Made a round of G+Ts +never played again 🍸

Got an Audible credit dropping tomo - any reccos? Last thing I listened to was Cher and I’m in that kinda pop biog zone 🎈

Merry day

ADHDers top cleaning motivation. Never is the place so clean, so fast (see also: chuck lots of stuff behind a door and close it)

Obvs Say You’ll Be There et al budget / glam glow-up is THE BEST but gotta celebrate the gritty origins 💫

Wannabe video on… here to toot the horn again about its legendary af status because it is NOT polished. Budget? Don’t know her. Militant choreo? In the sea. Girl band with personality? Priceless. Long live #PopMusic

This morning’s stunning fact: Next year Wembley Stadium will host more live music events than sporting events. And the live music events it will host are guaranteed to financially support grassroots football, but not guaranteed to support grassroots live music.

Nineties kids of a mainstream radio education… I just heard the explicit edit of this song for the first time… another one to add to songs we had no business hearing / singing along to as kids - even the ‘clean’ version 😅 open.spotify.com/track/0yD9hg...
