Playing Dusty Springfield in the chippy. My day has peaked.

Music's coming out of the woodwork, Sounds so strange, nobody sleeps. I met a little man on the corner, Waving a flag and making a speech. #FallFriday m.youtube.com/watch?v=fFGK...

Remembering Hylda Baker, born on this day 1905.

'Owl with Raised Wings' by Ipeelee Osuitok (1922 - 2005) #OwlishMonday 🤍🐾🦉

It’s my birthday. Admire my new clock. NOW PAY YOUR TAXES.

Today I went to Sale library to see the small but perfectly formed Cosgrove Hall exhibition. Watching Chorlton & the Wheelies is one of my abiding childhood memories. I maintain Fenella the Witch was probably just peri-menopausal & misunderstood.

Today’s charity shop find. Growing my Geoff Love collection. The swastika is regrettable.

and another one…

Happy birthday to John Cooper Clarke. Here's Beasley Street, performed with The Invisible Girls including Vini Reilly on guitar. It's taken from the 1980 Granada TV documentary "Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt" which you can watch in full at 📺▶️ youtu.be/tYK1-AJ4BSU

On his 77th birthday, here is the great and good John Cooper Clarke telling an absolutely tremendous joke (it’s only two minutes long). youtu.be/KZpa-tY8hzI?...

Me, everytime Morrissey opens his mouth

A polite notification that, if you liked Harry Hill's interview with Stewart Lee, he's also put his entire World Of TV series on his YouTube channel. It being made during lockdown, it's got a lo-fi vibe that suits YouTube perfectly. youtu.be/GV3FS_9lXQA?...

🤣🤣🤣

New Harry Hill podcast. Some kind of hybrid of a low budget TV show and high budget podcast. And silly. Stewart Lee is the first guest.

I feel dirty doing this - Staffordshire Kiln Craft. A few on ebay if you want to drink like an ex-Beatle

Not to keen on his observational stuff #Trump

I know a woman who had to walk home from her own wedding reception in her wedding dress and kip on the neighbour’s couch because the two families had a massive scrap at the do and all got arrested. Including her mum (and the groom) who was holding her money and keys.

I couldn’t give a monkeys about the Beckhams. I know way more dysfunctional families in Salford, with much more wilder stories, but because they don’t have multi-million brand deals, or highly curated Instagram accounts no one’s interested. Their loss.

It's "Blue Monday", which is a load of nonsense, but it is an excuse for a thread about New Order and the UK's best-selling 12-inch single of all time #BlueMonday (THREAD 1 of 10)

Just seen this on the back of a mini.

Great footnote.

Filmed at the Woodthorpe in Prestwich, which I shall be driving past tomorrow. Always think of this video when I do.

A nobel peace pryze doth not worke lyke the One Ring. It ys not about who ys physicallye holdinge it.

Metre-high marble head of Antinous, the teenage Greek male favourite of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. When the head was unpacked on its return from an exhibition tour, it was obvious that someone had given it a couple of kisses (Louvre, 2nd century)

Manacled to the city, manacled to the city Those big big big wide streets Those useless MPs Those useless MPs Hit the North #FallFriday youtu.be/v5zav2yrC7M

First time seeing a beaded cover. Non-fic for young readers.

“Academic male slags Ream off names of books and bands Kill cultural interest in our land” #FallFriday

Had a look at the free festivals They're like cinemas with no films You could make a fire with the seats You could boil up some cigar dimps Or get into the sound Wait for the ice cream to come around The Fall - Two Steps Back #FallFriday youtu.be/3TJaLoMr748?...

I’m fed up so it’s going on.

Watched Ellie & Natasia in the last couple days and this sketch is noteable for a) being amazing and b) having Harry Hill and Simon Bird in it somehow www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDVE...

This was my first intro to Bowie. I was a small kid watching TOTP and the video utterly terrified me. Years later I stood in front of the costume at the V&A exhibition and cried. Still haven’t worked out why.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1765

🧵 Erich von Däniken is dead, aged 90. Many of my generation will remember him as a proponent of the pseudoscientific 'ancient aliens' theory, just one of the many sensationalist supernatural topics that flooded culture in the 1970s. I've had this book since I was a little kid.

The multi-talented @gailmyerscough.co.uk has done a marvellous job remodelling and reshaping my website. Go and have a look for yourselves and repost, if you please - ta very much 👍 www.mathew-owen.co.uk
