White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

My neighbor Judy hits it out of the park again with her Halloween yard skeletons, this year the busted “Coldplay Couple”.

It really sucks that snob gatekeepers framed classical as high brow music so now any time you talk about it, people assume you're trying to signal intellect But the music itself isn't pretentious, thats cultural baggage. I just like it when sounds are arranged in a cool way, like any other genre

Jared Leto so weird and bad at his job they're gonna make him Secretary of Agriculture

I guess it's a nice tribute to H from Steps (who is also called Ian Watkins) that everyone's saying "I'm glad Ian Watkins is dead" and then punctiliously adding, "But not that one."

Shame about Ian Watkins. Not about what happened to him, but that he ever existed at all.

Sentiments I never thought I'd repost!

It's sort of weird that I found out about all these apparent classics like Islands In The Stream from hearing them cannibalised in rap songs. #TOTP

Respect to George Harrison. If my guitar gently wept I would freak out.

If I were stuck at a Limp Bizkit gig I would pray for a nuclear strike.

just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch. “she’s in culture,” her friend said. i finally realised that i was talking to ANNA DELVEY I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

*Long silence* It may have been We Are The Pigs, actually... (Perhaps that's why I feel it's unfairly maligned)

OMG the suspenes

I am a veteran of a thousand psychic wars. (I lost all of them.)

taylor swift put out ai generated videos and has been being called out by her own fans for it and twitter is currently not letting you search “taylor swift ai” lmfao

Quite dismaying. One wonders whether there's a future for artists at this point.

PSA

You need to learn to put the apostrophe in "don't". Then you have to learn to do it consistently. THEN you can start posting the word in all caps on social media.

I once left a review on someone's fan fiction that happened to be in the Twilight fandom giving advice on some things they might do to improve the writing. I did not, at the time, realize that what they had posted was literally a copy of a section of the first book. 🤦‍♀️

seven-year-old: “who’s voice is that” me: “Bob Dylan” 7yo: “is that yr friend” me: “no a singer” 7yo: “not a very good singer”

Taking a look at that #Borderline programme. I know this is superficial but why does EVERYONE have sticky-out ears?

The worst part of the early 80s were the montage/mash ups. Hideous. #TOTP

Anyone who was dissing 1998, please hang your head in shame. #totp

Everyone else is thinking that 5ive (Five-ive) have ruined what would have been a huge resale value on those classic 1998 football jerseys by adding unofficial numbering and personalising them with their own names, right? #TOTP

Once interviewed Stove from Mansun in his back garden (over the phone, on my lunch break at work, for a fanzine) and he was lovely. He genuinely responded to one question with "That's probably the best question I've ever been asked"! Dined out for months on that... #totp

#TOTP Sorry folks, this guy's a rum 'un now

I guess nobody's said "La Vie" yet, so B*Witched have to keep coming on #TotP until someone does.

Well, you certainly get your money's worth with B*Witched, at any rate. #TOTP

And we're coming into the home straight, it's pretty tight here, can he do it?... YES! HE MANAGED TO MAKE THIS EVEN WORSE!

"i’ve been getting a little bit of flak just because my dad died in 9/11” is an awesome line

GUY WHO JUST CAME BACK FROM DOING THE JABBA'S PALACE COMEDY FESTIVAL: You know, I gotta say they're really great in there, they're just like us. I thought it was only gonna be women in chains and a trapdoor monster they feed slaves to but like, they also have a band that plays cool music.

In a bar where the DJs are playing Au Pairs, Bush Tetras, Thomas Dolby, Altered Images, Gang of Four, etc. Basically, this is heaven.

i shouldn’t have to see or hear anything about chris brown ever again and neither should you

Cheers to whoever took down the flag at the end of my road.

Labi Siffre has issued Tommy Ten Names with a cease and desist order against the use of his song 'Something inside so strong'. Good man! I hope he sues him. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025....

Are we sure Morrissey isn't running Grok?

Grok told users the lead singer of The Cure was the Mormon church shooter.

Well, I can't forget the marrow That you carried in your barrow Well, you had it there and then you let it go

Huh, just noticed Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill acronymises as RUTH... (Puts it with Oasis's Let's All Make Believe)

me: [after an hour listening to river with an elf] so you're into ambient? elf: this would actually be considered drone river: [plays a second chord] elf: but there's overlap

Oh my god so I have a cd mixtape that a girl in high school made for me and she was so shy when she gave it to me but I was like huh nice mix of songs. ITS BEEN 18 YEARS AND I REALIZED THEYRE ALL LOVE AND CONFESSION SONGS 😭😭😭 IM SO SORRY GIRL

Well done, @theonion.com 👏 Stop using Spotify if you like music. Musicians deserve to be properly compensated for their work!

Well don't I feel stupid

#TOTP kicks off with Loo Break, as it perhaps should have been named. Oh, it's Tina Arena! Didn't know she had another hit!... It's fucking Lloyd Webber.

Please enjoy today, 25/9/2025, the last square date until 2116 (5^2/3^2/45^2).

What if a bunch of trumpet players just played at the same time worldwide to scare the rapture people. Or a shit load of ska bands.
