The BBC should make all of the Peel Sessions available to stream on the Sounds app. They're recordings of incredible cultural significance and shouldn't be left to languish in a vault.

1978. Flyer for The Tiller Boys & Joy Division at The Factory, Russell Club, Manchester. Designed by Linder Sterling. From Tony Wilson's own collection, this sold at auction last year for £1000

If I owned Sharpies, I'd be mortfied by now.

Education for education's sake is an intrinsic good and the tooling of courses/pegging of qualifications to only account for earning power/jobs market needs is societally corrosive.

Lock him in a room and make him do them all by hand.

Gig tickets should be cheaper if you bother to turn up in time to see the support act, or a surcharge levied for tardiness.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS LATTE

Does anyone on here know anyone IRL who signs off their posts with "thank you for your attention on this matter"? Thank you for your attention on this matter.

My Stones? Rolling.

The immensely talented artist Philip Castle died recently. He created the posters for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket as well as album artwork for the many great bands. Retro gamers will know him for his work on the original Elite box artwork. RIP.

Any US based Xbox gamers here? My uncle in Boston forgot Harry at Christmas and very kindly bought our Harry a $50 Xbox voucher, sadly he doesn’t really understand it and bought US valid credit voucher. $45 dollars to anyone and can replace it with a voucher in the UK 👍🏼 #XBox

My son is so based.

I think this is one of the best things ever committed to magentic tape. #sundaysonics

Timeline synergy: “Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (that isn't Indiana Jones).”

Fresh from the kiln today; these beautiful replica, small black burnished Roman cooking jars or cups, based on an original from a childs burial at Godmanchester. Soon to be available in our shop 🏺 potted-history.co.uk #archaeology

Listening to Earth's Pentastar album In the Style of Demons (Sub Pop), followed directly by Limbs by Rainy Miller (Fixed Abode) is a perfect cut n' shut listen. Yes, I have playlists determined by things like sleeve design rather than genre or anything; stops life getting too samey.

What I want to think I look like with my audio recorder, and what I suspect I look like with my audio recorder.

SONIC ⭐️ GRAPHIC ⭐️ FILTH

I used to think that Men Who Hate Women, the original title of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was ridiculously on the nose but that’s what is needed now.

All inbound wine freight charges from Europe up 12% from Monday. And almost all of that is via electric train. All UK outbound wine deliveries up from Monday too, rate to be confirmed. Fuck Trump. Small issues compared to those in the war zone. But people should know this is inflation in real time.

I’ll be using this new Morrissey excuse at some point: ‘I’m not not turning up for my shift. Circumstances have rendered my attendance impossible…’

the only way to go today. HB MES BOTD

New music featuring the voice of Mark E. Smith, you say? And today should have been his 69th birthday?

James Brindley....William Morris....silk manufacturing....William Sugden....the Nicholson Institute....Rudyard Lake....the Foxlowe.... And more! Leek for UK Town of Culture #Leek #NorthStaffordshire

GOAL BONUS FOR GIBSON!!! #COVSTOKE

•))) time for a quick reminder than the Manic Street Preachers were always ahead of the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSGv...

I wonder whether the government uses AI to work out whether AI is useful or dangerous.

I appear to have put on the wrong coat. #fuckingwetthrough

I’ve just lost a game of temperature roulette with Greggs. If I wanted a molten lead bake I’d’ve asked for one.

"They want to spend YOUR taxes on someone else's education!" GOOD! That's exactly what it should be fucking spent on.

Facebook now sends you a congratulatory notification if you’ve interacted at all. Those glory days of chatting to your actual friends on the friends app seem a long time ago. Fucked it, lads.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster. In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events. 🔗in🧵...

If I was Starmer I wouldn't be making dull speeches, I would simply paint a stick of dynamite brown and put it in a box labelled FANCY CIGARS and hand it to Trump, and while he was still dazed from the explosion I'd quickly make America British again

Wonderful promo film that was directed by Perry Henzell to be shown on Top Of The Pops when 007 made it into the charts in the summer of '67... #reggae #reggaesky #totp

The last episode of Ashes to Ashes. Was in bits watching that. Twice.

SPEECHLESS.

I absolutely loved the Arena programme titles, the visuals and the music, when I watched episodes with my dad, and had absolutely no idea that it was Brian Eno who wrote the music. Imagine my surprise/glee when I dug into his early post-Roxy Music work. I’ve just the William Golding episode on.

my top ten overlooked albums of the year, so I'm glad that, er, you've not overlooked it. :) graphics nerd bonus: great TDR™ artwork too (including totally illegible lyrics, obv.).

We asked 100 people, should the Epstein files be released? Our survey said….
