Strawberry Switchblade official merch, the first in 40 years! Night School Records, who released the 1982 4-Piece Demo, have worked with the band to produce three T shirt designs night-school.bandcamp.com/merch

This album still blows my mind. I can't conceive of a human being imagining and making these sounds, especially all those years ago. I think there may be a case to be made that Kevin Shields was sent back from a future age to mess with our heads.

One of them C86 kids...

Oh my lord. I have heard some truly awful cover versions in my time but Take That's run through of Smells Like Teen Spirit will never be forgotten. youtu.be/Sc2m4w9h0cw?...

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment. Take a look at my wares and please repost. gailmyerscough.co.uk Thanks!

I was wondering what had become of Rangers and Wales winger Rabbi Matondo and learned he was loaned to Hannover 96 in the German Bundesliga 2 last season. And from that, I learned that Hannover 96's head coach has a name which is probably a niche category on Pornhub. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi...

Kenneth Williams: born 100 years ago today.

Brilliant recent charity shop find in Shipley - the American XTC single from 1979, Ten Feet Tall

Maggie's impersonation of the Prisoner formerly known as Prince.

#totp fuck me, this Martine song goes on forever. More of a saga than a moment.

#totp kids today be like "what is that box thing that woman is standing in?"

#totp I've had 2 wives and they both hated/hate this New Radicals song. I love it.

Our @wholehogg.bsky.social is riding the giddy carousel - in a Noddy car. The twerp.

Beverley Minster at night

Was planning to do Baysgarth, which was cancelled for ice at the last minute, so had to dash back over the river to do the Humber Bridgeparkrun, my 2nd visit. Cold and muddy but got a course PB by 2 seconds so was happy with that. I really should come here in better weather sometime.

UK people: I'm thrilled by the warm appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. The production company Liverpool West is US-based and has focused most distribution efforts there so far. There is just one UK availability, which is amzn.to/4bP7bGS

Hello to any #Ghostwatch types I had these printed for an exhibition - the original studio panel designs created by me for the set back in 1992. If I got some printed and worked out a cost - any takers ? The panel is about A3 in size. @killertunes.bsky.social @ghostwatchers.bsky.social

Not had any decent chazza finds for a while - and then 3 in a day for £1 each! The Sisterhood (Sisters of Mercy offshoot), Flamin' Groovies and The Brilliant Corners.

#totp my wife made me turn the TV off - Boyzone we're making her cringe too hard

Oh God, I’d forgotten that brief moment in the 90s where Daniel O’Donnell made it into the charts #totp

#totp The Manics are so dull. This goes on forever. Feck off

2026, where you get more sense from the comics artists than you do from senior politicians and media commentators.

Did Nirvana foresee the taking over of the Republican Party by Trump? These pictures are from the In Utero CD booklet - that looks very much like his silhouette.

just walked out of a dainty little west London café as their "fancy bacon roll" costs 18 (eighteen) pounds and for that price I'd need the "fancy" to mean "contains both caviar and cocaine"

Here's the second of the three poems commissioned for the upcoming Stage 4 Beverley Festival. See www.stage4beverley.com for more... A big thanks to the Philip Larkin Society for their support as Festival Poet. @stage4beverley.bsky.social @plsoc.bsky.social

‘Bye bye, smelly’ sounds like a Morrissey song

Clive Langer & The Boxes - Splash. Jul 80. No UK Chart Placing. This 17 track LP is a bit Madness, a bit Jam & Kinksy amongst other influences. The sounds are tight, the energy doesn't drop & the tunes fit the mould of the time. Not bad. 6.5/10 #smashhitsalbumreviews

Pop quiz - which musician gets a credit on both these records?

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

100% agree.

There should be a word for this creeping societal descent into macho madness. The pathetic kowtowing to the tech bro culture creating an incurious, joyless mass of working drones. I'm suggesting Encuntification.

Have you ever, in an idle moment, pondered who might win a sprint between Joan Jett, Janet Jackson and Gladys Knight? Wonder no longer! From 4:20 ish. youtu.be/G8NUvTopfFU?...
