Against The Grain: What’s wrong with hauntology? In The Wire 501, @robinjames.bsky.social argues that the influential cultural theory of hauntology does not account for developments in Black creative practices and music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/c...

While I’m in a motorway services somewhere between Manchester and Southampton you could be listening to MORE REALISTIC GOALS on Reform Radio - it’s on now.

MOR Noire

Aqua's "Barbie Girl" is a bizarro mutation of Real McCoy's "Another Night" - both feature gravel-voiced rapguys, both blast out of deepest Mitteleuropa Discoland, both completely bang. Similar to how "Land of Make Believe" is Bucks Fizz opening an alternate reality wormhole to MJ's "Thriller".

Life gets in the way. So we bring an interlude of sorts - a show to soundtrack the roof car park at The Trafford Centre. I just made that up, its not true. The Trafford Centre bit. But you can listen to this Sunday at 6 on Reform Radio. reformradio.co.uk

A lot of wankers in this KR team aren't there. Fair play, best team of the year, but massive wanker energy.

When a band makes a complex, multi-sectioned pop song, it ends up being their "Bohemian Rhapsody". SFA only really make Bohemian Rhapsodies: "Receptacle For The Respectable", "Arnofio/Glo In The Dark" and this colossal bastard -

Wire 500 🎉 🍾 Amazing to be reviewed in this spectacular celebratory issue. Thanks @spennyt.bsky.social for reporting in depth about new album 💙 I’m picking up a copy as soon as I land at the airport for a couple of gigs in UK next week 🪂

Argh, that's @spennyt.bsky.social on Collapsing Drums! Apologies. Though @darylworthington.bsky.social's profile on Weston Olencki (who has a stunning new album coming out 19 Sep on @ooutsidetimee.bsky.social) in the new issue is very much worth reading, too!

Wire 500, fuck yes. I wrote some bits and pieces, still gobsmacked that I get to contribute in honesty. Unlimited Editions on Collapsing Drums Fuckwolf, Home Secretary and Nad Spiro album reviews. Buy magazines and listen to ace music, good evening x

More universe-changing stories should take place in lay-bys

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

A question for those in the know: do town councils have anything in their power to directly address food poverty? I'm unsure of specific powers that town councils have, thanks in advance.

If hold music, loading screen limbo noise and ambient mall sounds were the spine of 2010s haunted audio, Near-Future Vapourwave will be about the shit background muzak from AI/poorly-made reels. It'll be the 2030 iteration of "Opus No. 1", which haunted (and still haunts) Cisco Systems phones
