Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is The Song Remains the Same by Led Zeppelin. Led Zep in their pomp, nothing else needs to be said.

Danish intelligence has declared the United States, alongside Russia and China, as a threat to national security for Denmark and Europe. It warns that the US may use military force against its own partners and allies.

I guess if your social media doesn’t get you banned from entering the US, you’re clearly not trying hard enough. Wouldn’t set foot in that shithole now if you paid me (no offence to the many decent US people on here but wtf).

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Black and White by The Stranglers. My 17yr old self wasn't impressed with this album, and I'm still not tbh. But I did see them perform some of this at Battersea park, complete with a Sherman tank that didn't move and strippers that did.

I'm giving away a copy of this year's Monster Month, just Like/Follow/Repost and you're in with a chance of winning.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Live by Iron Butterfly. My, very, second hand copy does appear to be original. It includes In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, which appears in the Manhunter soundtrack and in an episode of The Simpsons.

Sorry but this is exactly the gotcha style of questioning that inevitably brings democracy into disarray. Governments can't actually say everything they want about foreign leaders because that is diplomacy. Headline either way. And unscrupulous leaders who don't care are the winners.

Just got Whamageddoned by Planet Rock, FFS!

I am brimming with holiday spirit

I only needed to read the actual quote to know he was attacking another woman. Weird how that keeps happening!

Been through the desert on a

Absolute respect

It's not Xmas until you've told a roll of sellotape to fuck off, yeeted it across the room and seriously considered using a glue gun.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Bring me the head of Yuri Gagarin by Hawkwind. Recorded live in 1973 and not released until 1985, probably due to the bad sound quality. I inflicted this on myself by buying it, so here it is, in all of it's 'glory'.

54% of Americans are at or below 6th grade reading level. 16-18% of Brits are functionally illiterate*. If you're writing for a broad audience and people aren't understanding, you need to make changes. *At a level below what's needed to function effectively in the adult world.

All fine and technical, but the key point is that there is nothing called "Customs Union" that is simply off the shelf instantly available next-day Amazon delivery, everything will need negotiation with the EU, and their top asks of the UK will be mobility and money.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel…

I'm at The Muni in Pontypridd to see The Wildhearts. All the security are women, which around here means that you're in trouble if you start anything

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull. Apparently it was intended to parody concept albums, but ended up as a prog rock classic.

Why can’t the majority of people recognise this. The education levels of people in Britain is insane. Either that or they are just protesting cause someone told them too.

As always @davidheniguk.bsky.social is worth a read.

Discworld QOTD, from Mort "Then Mort said, ‘What do all those symbols mean?’ ‘Sodomy non sapiens,’ said Albert under his breath. ‘What does that mean?’ ‘Means I’m buggered if I know.’"

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Vampires stole my lunch money by Mick Farren. I think this album is under appreciated, the lyrics are about drinking and self destruction, but it rocks.

BRACE YOURSELVES.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Metal for Muthas, a compilation from the early days of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. If you just call it NWOBHM, you weren't there.

Impossible to exaggerate what a brilliant writer Henry is. Pisses me right off tbh.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Live Seventy Nine by Hawkwind. I know that I saw this tour, I still have the t-shirt, but I have no memory of it. This is probably due to the fact that it's nearly 50yrs ago, and being off my tit's at the gig.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

And so is,The Fellowship of the Ring.

From the NS Morning Call. I have a bridge to sell the Labour folk who think the EU would sign up for this.

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is the album generally known as Led Zeppelin 4. It's still a great album from start to finish, and a good antidote to the horrible weather outside.

Let's do the same... #Election #Tampering

Look, I’m a union MP. I want the employment rights bill in full. But I am also a pragmatist. Unions sat round the table with business and ministers and hammered out a compromise which means protections from unfair dismissal come in from six months not two years and we get Royal Assent by Christmas

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Fun fact: For the movie Alien, they actually used a man in a practical suit because the studio was unable to afford a real Xenomorph.

Gobshite whinges again

Hegseth - and the people carrying out his orders - need to be tried in The Hague for this

Flag-shagging ain’t cheap — lad slapped with a £2,000 fine for decorating 64 lamp posts like it’s Brexit Christmas 🎄😂

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. The first of the post Ozzy albums, with Ronnie James Dio doing what he did best. Also, Heaven because I've finished work for the week, and Hell because I've just got back from tesco.

Read this. A scrappy indie outlet standing up to Farage’s bullyboy lawyers in a way that should shame better-funded outlets

Sleepy Hollow by day

Todays choice from what is left of the vinyl is Magicians Birthday by Uriah Heep. Released in 1972, it's very much of it's time, including the Roger Dean cover art, but there's nothing wrong with that.

look, the people in homes worth £2million or more are just going to have to cut back on lattes and netflix

Sorry "rejoin the EU and all the UK's problems will be solved" is as much a simplism as the others, not least as there's no instant process and no overwhelming demand on the other side to bend any rules for the UK.

If Farage had just admitted, apologised and repented his teenage racism - water under the bridge. But the fact that he has denied the truth and maligned those saying it NEARLY FIFTY YEARS ON, indicates to me not only his untrustworthiness, but that these antisemitic beliefs are not so historic
