Given myself the night off from teacher training to come see The Lemon Twigs in Norwich with @night ingalegirl.bsky.social

Dreadful covers of Aquarius AND The Weight… and it’s signed… take my money

Anyway... youtu.be/n_H_tLb1sXg

New Trunk release slaps

Had me at hello

Ok this is amazing

Derek Raymond. The misanthropes misanthrope.

If you’re a fan of 60s and 70s childrens books and illustrations you should check this auction out. Just wish I had enough space for a complete set of Jackanory picture boards. auctions.twgaze.co.uk/catalogue/lo... Feel like this is @regretteruane.bsky.social territory

Christ, I've seen less terrifying faces on convicted axe maniacs.

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Hold the front page! Whit Stillman is adapting Patrick Hamilton’s THE SLAVES OF SOLITUDE for the big screen! #BookSky 💙📚 #FilmSky 🎬

Further vinyl storage update I’ve had some shelves custom built… now I’ve just got to start moving all my records out of storage

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

"You don't meet many Boudiccas, do you? Apart from the obvious."

"In the UK we called it 'Boss Cat' because we had a cat food brand called 'Top Cat' which, of course, was problematic for a publicly-funded BBC. However, it was lost on nobody that, whatever it was called, it was basically just Sergeant Bilko with cats, and that is what unites our countries today."

IN THE BEGINNING/ WHEN WE WERE WINNING.

Cheap heat on a Sunday #Jazzsky

Recently moved house so treated myself to a new record player storage unit thing

This is so Wes Anderson, I can almost hear the affectless Jason Schwartzmann voiceover saying "My mother used to design undercover disguises for the Stasi"

An early version of the Pete Doherty meme

I just saw that one of the tracks on the upcoming Boards of Canada album is titled Somewhere Right Now In The Future. 😂

Today I have been mainly buying Jazz records and looking at Lucian Freud pictures

Brian Butterfield voice

obsessed with the quirky in-person events tech companies used to have (netscape navigator jazz festival, yahoo nationwide yodel challenge, etc)

Well at least Viktor Orbán is free to headline Wireless next year.

Legendary singer Asha Bhosle passed away yesterday.. This is my fav Asha song, a truly timeless melody composed by her husband RD Burman, sung with Kishore Kumar. Form the movie Jawani Diwani (1972) it has traveled through the decades with a strong sense of nostalgia & romance youtu.be/K-GPX2PzDKM

"Your own. Personal. Negus. Someone who rates your chairs, Someone who cares"

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

New nationally important art gallery just opened, lads...

I talked about My Phantoms too much, so this thread will probably be the only thing I post about Gwendoline Riley’s new novel The Palm House. I have read it twice, first in proof and again now the novel is ‘in the shops’. As usual, the style is the substance, and the style is impeccable. >

Jazz gods shining on me in the Oxfam Shop

Was fucked up royally by every last excellent & pitilessly chilling story in both of these. And when I finally tracked them down as an adult, my relief was all the sweeter for discovering that they were created by the same person who wrote most of Trumpton

There's having a brass neck and then there’s whatever this is from Boris Johnson

I genuinely think the thing that killed #TOTP was moving away from only showing climbing singles.

Our high street has lost three charity shops in the last 6 weeks Times are tough

Weird to think that Liza Minnelli and Dusty Springfield were respectively only 43 and 50 when they made their comeback records with the Pet Shop Boys. At the time they felt like ancient ghosts of showbiz past. The equivalents now (in age if not in stature) would be Cheryl Tweedy and Emma Bunton.

A JK Rowling comic

Jack Whitehall stands alongside James Corden and a lasting legacy of colonial violence as one of the worst things Britain has ever produced

Bob Dylan trying to find his way back from some Wetherspoons toilets…

About 15 years ago, I was working on a show at the BBC when I heard that Lorne Michaels had offered the Beeb the SNL format. The BBC apparently said no, because they already had a comedy show on Saturday nights, with Rhod Gilbert. I vacillate between thinking that’s a terrible and brilliant reply.
